"The U.S. is RIFE with men who suffer from the Clint Eastwood Cheap Western Syndrome."
Are you assuming only men are aggressive and assault people? A very sexist comment BTW.

Depending on the circumstances and location if someone is throwing furniture at me my German Shepherds will be stopping their aggression. Alternately if someone is throwing a couch at me I'll be zapping the couch with my anti gravity ray. In reality if the violence was that bad I would be protecting myself with overwhelming force as necessary to stop the aggression.

Why would I be scared? I don't "carry" a gun either 99.99% of the time.

Not every pro RKBA person is an NRA member, not every NRA member is an NRA-loving member. Those are some pretty wild assumptions and blanket statements.

Surrounded by NRA people? Can you clarify that, I can't see that statement as being credible?
