In these other passages Freud associates retarded sexual and
emotional development not with gun ownership, but with fear and loathing of
weapons.
~Don B. Kates, Jr., Guns, Murders, and the Constitution -- A Realistic
Assessment of Gun Control (Don Kates is a San Francisco criminologist and
civil liberties lawyer).
And it fits with the *phallic symbols* of dream interpretation.....
All elongated objects, sticks, tree-trunks, umbrellas (on account of the
opening, which might be likened to an erection), all sharp and elongated
weapons, knives, daggers, and pikes, represent the male member.
~Sigmund Freud , The Interpretation of Dreams (1900)
Chapter 6. Representation in Dreams by Symbols: Some Further Typical Dreams
So , according to Freud a fear of guns equates with a fear of the erect
penis....?
And gun-lovers.....?
The traditional Freudian theory is that men are very attracted to phallic
extensions and they have a set of fantasies that originates in their
bodies -- fantasies that tend toward power and aggression.
There isn't a lot of organized psychological theory about the relationship
between men and guns but in men's dreams, guns frequently play a role and,
when they do, it is likened to the penis and all that that means to them.
~Dr. Nancy McWilliams, interview (1999)

Being born in the middle of the 20th century, Boomer's education and
outlook have been strongly influenced by the towering presence of two
revolutionary figures : Freud and Einstein. Despite many Boomers not
having formally studied or even been aware of the work of either of these
men, The Freudian and Einsteinian views of the world have been deeply
embedded into the culture which has shaped their generation. Freud and
Einstein, from their utterly different perspectives, have influenced
Western popular culture by generating two powerful beliefs: the belief
that all the answers to our psychological (and even spiritual) questions
are within us: and the belief that everything (not just time and space,
but knowledge and morality as well) is relative.
Hugh Mackay (1938-) Generations: Baby Boomers, their parents and their
children. Ch.3. (1997)
Marx and Freud are the two great destroyers of Christian civilization, the
first replacing the gospel of love by the gospel of hate, the other
undermining the essential concept of human responsibility.--Malcom
Muggeridge, My Life in Pictures, NY: William Morrow & Co., 1987, p. 94

\beginPedantry
The original of course is "et dona ferentes" , meaning "even when they
bear gifts". Unfortunately, word order in Latin is not the same as in
English: it's "dona" that means "gifts" (Compare English "donate".)
The meaning here would have to be represented as "et arma ferentes".

Darn.
And here I was worrying about whether it should be "arma" or "armam."

You were probably thinking of the opening line, "Arma virumque cano ...".
By the way, it's Vergil or Virgil, not Virgule. A virgule is a slanted line
used for punctuation. You may have an overzealous spelling checker.
The Trojans might have been less suspicious if the Greeks had called the
Horse a "free gift".

out. Historically, this title places them in the same category as bolt-action rifles, crossbows,
swords, and rocks. Every weapon is a “weapon of war,” and we own them for a reason.
In all of human society, and equally if not more so in the West, men have always had a powerful
attachment to weapons. Weapons are a near-sacred aspect of the Western tradition, depicted in our
art and enshrined in our stories. Many men in modern society know this without ever bothering to ask
why. It’s a truth as clear and fundamental as any other: free men own weapons, slaves do not. They
are instruments of life more than of death, the method by which we fulfill our role as shepherds and
caretakers, and our birthright as Westerners. [...]
Behind the surface of America’s “gun culture” exists a grim and simple truth: There is no
protector; there is no guardian; there is no defender except oneself. We hide ourselves from this
truth, we don’t talk about it. We have faith in our military and police, and rightly so: They are
men and women of honor, who sacrifice far more than we to fulfill the role of protector. But they
are few, and there are wolves among us. It is up to each individual to ensure that he or she is
prepared to meet whatever threat, foreign or domestic, and to do so with appropriate force.
Many attempt to delude themselves, suggesting that the right to bear arms is a relic of another
time. They insist we have changed, and have made progress enough to toss aside those old principles
from another era. There is but one question to ask in response: In light of the events in Orlando,
Newtown, and elsewhere, how much can we truly claim to have changed? These acts were as savage and
evil as any in our history. Our protectors, valiant as they are, cannot prevent these acts of
brutality until it is already too late. No law or institution has done anything to stop the wolves
from preying on us, as is clearly demonstrated by the attacks in Paris and Brussels. The grim,
horrifying truth remains unchanged: We, each of us, are our only protectors.
That is why we arm ourselves. We are charged with defending ourselves, our families, our
communities, and our nation. The vast might of our military and the commendable efforts of our
police do nothing to diminish that truth. We are the men of the West. Regardless of race, religion,
or sexual preference, our lives, liberty, and principles exist only insofar as we are willing to
take up arms to protect them. [...]
The people of the West desperately need a reality check. We are so comfortable, so happy, and so
ignorant of our own good fortune that we begin to believe humanity has changed. But more and more it
becomes clear that this belief is unfounded, put to lie by the violence visited upon innocents
across our nation. The wolves are among us once more, and no law will protect you. You are
responsible for yourself.
