(16,993 posts)Buy more guns guns guns -- everyone NEEDS them. Gotta have a semi-automatic rifle to go check the mail in the mailbox at the street. Amurika is DANGEROUS! Criminals EVERYWHERE. They're hiding in your shrubs, just waiting to attack you when you carry out the garbage.
Then there's the big, bad U.S. gubmint waiting to take your guns away. They want to remove your right to bear arms. So, gotta have twenty or thirty various weapons in the house, with enough ammo on hand to start a war. The more the better, of course. And no one needs to know that you have those guns, what they are, how many, what you intend to do with them (hey, no mass murders in a few hours--better get going!)
Yeah, I know there are bad areas where it may not be safe to check the mail or carry the trash out, but having weapons strapped on you isn't the answer. And while Americans are so concerned about the government taking their guns away from them, they seem oblivious to the fact that the government is indeed trying to take away rights--like privacy, voting, representation, and others.
Apparently no other rights are as important as the 2A rights, however, including the right to life.
