11. Freedom to hold onto their guns, to 'protect' themselves from: immigrants,
Thu Feb 22, 2018, 05:27 PM
Feb 2018

crazies, black and brown people, Isis attack, civilization collapse, Armageddon, you name it. There's so much fear promoted all around esp. in the media for a couple decades now at least, intentionally to get viewers/listeners. War, crime, drama sells.

And these type of people are completely selfish, it's about ME, Mine, and not WE, Us.
Do they really care that more kids were just murdered? We're 'the law abiding gun owners' they think, so 'not me.'

Every time a major attack happens, there's a run on guns and ammo at stores immediately afterwards, for fear the evil guvment will shut down supplies with some new law. Absolute hysteria about the need to be armed, always, which is aided and abetted by the extreme right for whom weapons sales and fear are highly profitable.

Fox TV, and 1,500 Hate Radio Stations all controlled by conservative corporations now, with 300 Radio Talkers propagandizing issues 24/7. A real mess, sorry to say, but things have to and will change!
