Be proud, America. We have officially gone around the bend with our gun fetish. [View all]

I'm watching coverage of the Washington Navy yard shooting on CNN, and they just interviewed a guy who runs a company called "Move2Safety." The sole purpose of the company is to train people how to react in the event of an active shooter.

From their website: "Created in 2008, Move2Safety was founded to teach people to escape workplace and school shootings and to rely on themselves in emergency situations."

So there you have it, America. Thanks to our deranged gun fetish, there is now a cottage industry designed specifically to train us how to survive our deranged gun fetish. Because freedom and shit.

Be proud.
