Most people get through their whole lives just fine without using or owning a gun, and have little interest in them. But everybody needs an income.

Even those who are armed are usually interested solely in home defense, or sporting and recreational use. But military weapons? Street carry? Home arsenals? Bowser's right. Those are all pecker proxies.

Packing heat makes a little man feel tough and independent, but if he has to kiss his bosses ass to feed his kids he's still a slave. Of course, firearms give him that feeling of power that compensates for his helplessness, or distracts him from his own inadequacy. Real power comes not from a gun, but from being able to hire one. But it makes him feel like a real tough guy, he can fantasize how he is going to fight back against all those enemies, foreign and domestic, who are out to steal his stuff.

"Defending against tyranny...". My god, these pointless little men are so full of themselves. They are so ready to fight Chinese paratroopers or Obama's jack-booted storm troopers, but are too chicken shit to demand a raise from their boss, or start a union, or stand in a picket line like their forefathers did to feed their families.

They know perfectly well the boss can always get someone else and that scares them, and their guns are no help at all.

Let me put it another way, perhaps a bit less delicately. I don't give a damn who owns a gun, or if some redneck needs to stroke one to get his jollies off. But they have no right to bring one into my office. In fact, they have no right to bring one anywhere near me. Who the hell do these two-bit punks think they are?
