Is an anti-static gun necessary?

I was looking at the Milty Zerostat Gun, and wondering if anybody had an opinion on it, or any other anti-stat device.

I know there are some very experienced audiophiles who don't like it or think it's BS, but I think it's worth a try if you have static issues as I do.

Raising the humidity is the only real solution. Not a myth, Vanderheulen. A good mid-winter static charge and 20 per cent relative humidity can make my turntable sound like a machine gun ("pop, pop, pop") until I tame it.
