(8,045 posts)and oddly enough none of them feel compelled to own a gun. Neither have I ever felt a need to have one, when going for a visit. It's kind of a weird comment to make, I think, to use people in "section 8 housing" to justify allowing easy--too easy--access to guns.
But that's the argument, isn't it? The world is a hyper-dangerous place, and so we all need guns to protect ourselves against--mostly--other people with guns. And it's now to the point that there are so many guns sloshing around this continent that someone as obviously dysfunctional and hate filled as this loser is able to get his hands on one, with horrific consequences. With the result that we periodically have these massacres.
If there were fewer guns--and thus fewer hate-filled sociopaths able to access guns--maybe Michael Moore wouldn't need armed protection.
Just a thought.
