It's "people like me" that are the problem, not the millions and millions of rabid 2nd Amendment Absolutists who are liberalizing and suing and striking down gun laws, or buying arsenals and poncing about "defending" themselves and slapping "Molon Labe" stickers on their trucks.

What I'm "promoting" that we face the reality of the situation. We're decades away from any kind of rationality on firearms. I'll be long dead before a gun is grabbed, and I'm not 60.

Sorry, cynicism is warranted here. Shit is going the wrong direction, and has been for decades.
