"...stop acting like your little AR-15 is going to stop tyranny.

Just be honest. You like it because it makes your pee-pee big, and when you fire it, it gives you a tingle in your no-no place.
Trust me, I understand...

...A collection of studies from 2012-2013 found that having a gun in your home significantly increases your risk of death—and that of your spouse and children. If you have a gun (regardless of how it’s stored), everybody in your home is more likely than your non-gun-owning neighbors and their families to die in a gun-related accident, suicide or homicide.

Gun owners and their families are not more suicidal than non-gun-owners, research shows. Nor are they more likely to have a history of depression or other mental health problems.

But they—and their families—are at significantly increased risk of successfully taking their lives with a gun..."

1. Those who have known people who have a sick addiction, understand why gunners lie and support

gun groups like the NRA.

Clearly, gun owners are at risk. But gun owners fool themselves into believing it's the other guy and they are the best of all possible gun owners. I suspect Zimmerman, and similar gun owners, felt they were law-abiding, moral gun owners right up until they weren't.
