two of my good friends shot themselves in the head and died. well the other day i was playing with air soft guns with a friend and just after i pointed mine at him and shot him in the head i started to shake uncontrolably and then i went outside and just balled. i have this fear of them and i really need to get rid of it because it drives me nuts.

Maybe take a saftey course and learn to respect the guns and after knowing the safe way to handle them you can find someone you trust to go target shooting.For some people the way to get over it is to do it.I love shooting and I have taught many adults and kids how to properly handle guns and now there are alot of us that go all of the time as a group and have a blast.

There is no reason to get over it, if you do not want too. A fear of hand guns makes sense to a lot of people. The fear would be better targeted if it was aimed at the bad people that hand guns and not the good ones. There are, of course, a lot more bad ones out there then good that use hand guns.
If the criminals did not have guns they would use another weapon. So, be angry and fear the bad people and support efforts to stop them or educate the world to a better way of living.

You could try desensitization therapy. That has been used with some degree of success in the treatment of phobias, but you really need to ask yourself how much of a problem is this. If it is significant, you need to consider some therapy to help you over the rough spots. I suspect this phobia is not the problem but the symptom of a deeper issue. That may be what you need to address.

Get rid of the guns. Do you really need them if they are causing you this much distress?
Don't have anything to do with guns and it will get better in time.
