Gun Control & RKBA

Your reaction is not really a matter of IQ.

"The fight-or-flight response (also called the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response), is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival"

Fear is wonderful thing - it keeps us from doing all kinds of stupid things. And causes us to do all kinds of smart things.
It's OK to be afraid.

So if you are afraid of guns, or people with guns, and you see a person with a gun, and that makes you feel afraid - then you are best to get the heck out of there - fast. The dumbest animals will react the same way (although I have seen a fawn just lie down right in the middle of the road in front of my car).
