53. There might only be one guy who hates guns, makes his living as a programmer and who is threatened

with having his mother raped and then the two of them killed while living in a remote beautiful area where police response times are typically over 30 minutes. And whose father pressured him to become proficient against his will. I'll give you that.

But surely even you don't believe that only one person has been forced to watch their loved ones abused and/or killed in the last 20 years, as convenient as that belief might be. Do you?!

Also, the guy in the OP is hardly obsessed with guns. He hates them.

Your attempted avoidance of the fact that being "judge jury and executioner" is sometimes the proper course of action is noted. I guess I should take comfort in the fact that even you can't admit that you would rather watch a loved one tortured raped and killed rather than be "judge, jury and executioner"--as the silly meme goes.

Oh well, I was pretty sure you would never give a straightforward answer, so I guess a partial dodge is the best possible outcome.
