You are a product of your possessions, to some degree. If you have a lot of physical possessions, you are going to be a different person than if you don't. If you own a lot of videos, the story lines can affect who you become. If you buy pornography, that is going to affect you. If you are a book reader, the books you read will influence your outlook on life. If you own a half dozen cars, that will influence you.
Tonight, I consider the influence of the gun. How does the gun shape a person's life? I believe it can take different directions, from influencing one person to become a murderer to influencing another to become a cop -- one outcome being bad, and the other good.
Just as we often pick what our physical possessions will be, even so, we often can pick how they influence us.
