😭😭😭oBaMa BiN lADIn Is GoNnA tAkE mAh GuNs😭😭😭

My brother has a neighbor who regularly yells crazy rants at the neighbors on his lawn while holding his gun in the air. The cops have been called and claim they can do nothing. This would be in Atlanta, so I'm not exactly shocked...

I'm surrounded by it in Texas and you're 100% correct. These guys fetishize their guns and the idea of killing people. You'll note after being around a 2A nut that they aren't discussing things that worry them. Most of the language that you hear is along the lines of "I wish they would" or "I'd pop a motherfucker for trying that".

They are genuinely looking for an excuse to legally murder someone and you should not feel safe around them.

They want to be feared because they live in fear themselves. That's why these assholes keep murdering people for pulling into their driveway by mistake. They're terrified all the time. Conservative media has made them fear everything and they think the only answer is to show that they're tougher than everyone else.

Science disagrees with you:

"Specifically, the research shows that people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala -- typically thought of as the "primitive brain" -- is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear. The anterior cingulate is thought to be responsible for courage and optimism. This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conservatives "think differently" from others."

Not wrong, but the foundation for that is also form of "fear", the wish to be feared stems from the inner fear of looking weak and vulnerable. This is not a person who's at ease with himself or of the path he's chosen. He's hurting, a lot. Even knowing all this, it's still hard to feel empathy because of the way he chooses to deal with his psychological issues.

Same here. Knew a guy who conceal carried with a license for like 4 years before I ever found out. People who truly do it for defense rarely want people to know they have it.

Honestly, Your last two sentences are what I noticed.

Someone could easily sneak behind, or use another forward distraction to grab that butt gun while that guy's hands are both occupied carrying other things.

He doesn't look prepared at all to actually protect anything. Given his size, he should put all the guns, his cookie (or whatever he bought), and his keys in a bag so he has at least one hand free to defend himself. He could do more damage hulk smashing than trying to hit something with a tiny projectile.

The fact you need a gun with you at all times says enough about how scared you are.

If you need a gun to feel safe, you live in a shithole country.
