That's really what it comes down to.

These people want an "excuse" to murder someone.

Yes those people do

And then there's a ton of people that have guns, train when they can and hope they never have to use their skills outside of the range or competitions. We never ever hear about them because they are normal people

The reality is that most of the imagined scenarios which cause a person to want a gun for self defense are rooted in some form of these same delusions. They really are just not as useful in as many situations as people think they are, and these people almost never take far simpler measures to deal with their real threat profile.

Yes. Thankfully not everyone who owns a gun is like these weirdos though.
