I think that people have become scared that an evil spirit will enhabit the gun and the gun itself will go on a rampage. In other words, folks have irrational fear of inanimate objects of certain shape.
Simply, peeps are nuts!

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria
