(48,121 posts)I live in the US - where we are so afraid of our fellow citizen we don't want them taking bottled water onto airplanes.
Our government is armed to the teeth with enough nukes to end the world and we are still so scared we kill men, women, and children a world away (and you are worried about the people here? I really doubt people in other countries are worried about the local citizen here having a gun hobby) because we think THEY are the threat to us.
Hell anymore it comes down to: me, you, anyone with a gun not working for the government, every man/woman/child in the ME and other countries really are all the ones we are supposed to be afraid of. The only ones we should trust are the ones that spy on us, start wars, and bomb other countries.
People collect guns. They shoot them for fun and hunting and some keep em around for self defense. You think your avg gang bangers on the street who are doing the drive by's are reading this magazine? And even if they did, do you think magazines (games/etc) cause people to kill (if so, why don't they all do so??? And why only less than 1% of gun owners use them in crimes?).
The fear people have here ensures I have no illusion as to why this country is the way it is now - we teach fear, preach it, and convince each other we are all the enemy and need the government to protect us.
The only gun porn I see are the threads like this and the ones trying to use shooting deaths to pimp an agenda whose only solution won't really solve the problems we face. But it will make folks feel awful good.
