2. Good point. What gets me is that the gun fanciers know that, yet they still promote guns.

I firmly believe the majority of people seriously into guns -- I'm not talking about the guy who has a gun or two in his home for hunting, self-defense, etc. -- are bigots. Their gun love is fueled by their fear of minorities and, in some cases, desire for white supremacy.

By trying to coddle all gun fanciers, we have to settle for the Zimmermans, Dunns, Randy Weavers, Bundy Ranch Militia, Loughners, wounded children, etc. And the gun fanciers are fine with that as long as they have access to more and more guns in more places.

If I'm being kind, it's just that I feel sorry for these poor pitiful folks obsessed with guns. :) Hoyt May 2014 #4
