Not so sure about that, this probably heavily depends on your individual character and perhaps even more on who likes weapons when you were really young. If someone you intensively hate as child preached pacifism (or vice versa, people you looked up to being gun nerds) you’d be drawn towards weapons I’d assume.
You probably learned a lot from your mom, both her values and that she apparently trusted you to explore stuff she might dislike herself (even if you had to nag her to death for it). Sounds very healthy to me. 😉

I managed to get my pacifist mom to buy me toy guns. I had a space gun, a spy gun, a cowboy gun, and a military gun. Played with GI Joe.
When I got old enough to want to look ‘adult’ I put away all those guns and never wanted to have a real one.
I think we’d have fewer adult gun collectors if they’d been playing with guns as kids.
