You’re arguing semantics which I’m not really interested in because I don’t know what negative adjective to use to describe guns that you wouldn’t call emotional or subjective.

And at that point, you’re saying there isn’t an “objective” way to declare something as good or bad. But then what’s the point of arguing something is good or bad at all, if you’re just going to dismiss it.

Anyway, whether the “disgust” is an emotional reaction or not, my point was that it is in no way my knee jerk reaction to guns, as Tyr said. It’s not an “emotion” based on impulsive feelings (again, my natural instinct is to think that they’re cool). It’s an “emotional” descriptor based on my rational observations. Again, there’s a distinction, and what Tyr was describing was a mischaracterization.
