Notice he did not say "never OWNED firearms." These phobics overwhelmingly have never been around guns; thus, they fear guns in their proximity. And by extension, those who keep and bear them.
This statement shows an increasing understanding of the situation:
"For me, proximity created familiarity, which ultimately led to greater understanding."
I have some hope.
