18. Gun "NUTS"

Dec 2012

The person who carries for protection of their livelihood such as valuables carrier,etc. starts from a mental state of defense. The gun "nut" comes from the mental state of offense and are ticking time bombs. their fantasies drive their egos, movies,video games,etc. they are looking for a chance to pull their weapon, just like the "nut" in Jacksonville who killed teenagers for loud music.
