America is deeply, deeply ill. Our gun ownership is a reflection of how deeply broken our society is. We are stuck in a predator-prey relationship and the predators run our society. We seem unable to change that relationship.

- usrusr 7y agoThe point is that those well adjusted Americans believe they need guns. That's not exactly a sign of a healthy society.
- oceanghost 7y agoI think you're misreading me. I'm saying an accurate view of reality necessitates gun ownership. I am a gun (and crossbow) owner. I don't feel like I can trust my government. I lived a few blocks from where Kelly Thomas was killed and watched the police officers who did it beat the system and get off. As far as I'm concerned, until those folks are brought to justice, and until the architects of the financial collapse are brought to justice, the law in this country is meaningless because some people are not subject to it.
