If anything we are driven into a constant state of FEAR and preparation for war, home invasion, the Other etc.. It is rather scary to think our culture has accepted ASSAULT WEAPONS as the norm for protecting homes. It is a fabricated fear fed by the gun lobby for manufacturers who have not made enuf profits from the two wars and constant govt imposed violence around the world. We need to make the ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN permanent and ban mags/drums with more than 10 rounds.
