Most anti-gun-regulation arguments rest on the belief that swarms of ninjas plan to attack us.

And I will gladly concede the argument that, should there be a sudden outbreak of swarms of ninjas attacking, say, my place of business or recreation, a 30 round magazine semi-automatic will be just the tool for just that situation. In the meantime, however, I'm a little more concerned about red-faced screaming lunatics like Alex Jones and smarmy Machivellis like Wayne LaPierre walking around fully loaded and half cocked.

But that's just me.

Zombie Barney Fifes, not with one bullet, but with an AR-15 with 30 rounds "protecting" the mall while stuffing their faces with pretzels and soda, that I fear.

Constant fear. Media-stoked fear.

Underlying all of that is the fact that they've been fucked-over along with the rest of us all these years, but they blame it on imaginary causes and perpetrators
