Have you ever fired a firearm?
Simple question I'm very curious to hear answers to.
Being ex-Army infantry, I've fired more than my fair share of weapons ranging from hand guns to rifles to machine guns to cannons. And I loved every shot that I made.
Have you ever fired a firearm/gun/rifle? Even just once? What kind was it?
If no, then why not? Is it truly uncomfortable for you? Is it fear? Do you abhor firearms so much that you refuse to even hold one?
Many times. So so so many times and with lots of different guns.
Types: I prefer to answer in brands - Glocks, Winchesters, Remingtons, Berettas.
Side-note: LR shooting, I'm very precise but not accurate. I don't know why. My patterns are almost always very tight at around a quarter-size. I shy away from scopes because when I use a scope, it becomes too easy and takes away the challenge for me.
I do not oppose guns. I strongly support them and the freedom to responsibly use them.

I have shot plenty of firearms, I used to enjoy shooting trap before I had rugrat.
My fear isn't my gun or other guns, it's for the people that have no respect for life and hold themselves above others when they feel as though they have the power with their guns.

That is when you use that Finger that is next to your Trigger Finger.

A few rifles and handguns
My favorite was a Henry lever-action rifle, iirc, was .30 caliber.

Nope. Never owned a gun. Never fired a gun. Never even held a gun.
Not really a fear thing or that I abhor them, just don't find them very interesting, not enough to make any effort to go shoot one.
