    What they really mean is: Polite to them, the people with the means of easily inflicting deadly violence upon others.

    Gun ownership is just another expression of the deep selfishness ingrained in American culture.

      In theory responsible gun ownership is check on the authority of the state…

      Of course in US we have armed degenerates causing havoc. It don’t have to be like this but for some reason it do be like that :/

      Gun ownership for “self defense”, yes.

      Gun ownership solely for sustainable hunting or protection from large animals like polar bears is a separate thing that doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with that hostile to humanity crap.
