I find it perverse in the extreme that some would worship their guns so piously that concerns about mass murder and general public safety are considered extreme.

And any discussion of regulation or control is treated like an assault on sacred principles rather than as a reasonable examination of the increasingly obsolete second amendment.

You're upset about dick jokes while innocent men, women and children are slaughtered by the thousands.

And you have the nerve to suggest that I'm perverse?

Mon Oct 5, 2015, 03:20 PM
Oct 2015

Many gun owners suffer from a lack of self-esteem and consequently construct fantasies in which they and their firearms play a central role.

They often view themselves as the 'sheepdogs' whose role it is to protect us 'sheep,' who are unarmed and seen as lacking courage and/or intelligence (they believe if we had more courage and/or intelligence, we would be armed as well, and thereby fellow 'sheepdogs' instead of 'sheep'). From whom do they think they protect us? The 'wolves' though the nature of the wolves varies, depending on which 'sheepdog' you ask. Most 'sheepdogs' see criminals as the 'wolves' but of course some also view the government as one big, bad wolf.

They are the 'warriors,' the 'tactical operators,' the 'freedom fighters,' and a host of other things that gives them a special purpose in life and in their minds elevates them above the rest of us unarmed cowards and idiots. The source of that perceived power? Their firearms. The source of their fantasies? Their lack of self-esteem, aka 'tiny penis'

The concept of sheep, sheepdogs, and wolves comes from Lt. Col. Dave Grossman

http://killology.com/sheep_dog.htm

Some people consider the police and the military to be the sheepdogs, but many gun owners put themselves into the same category.
