And if there's anything we love here in the states, it's our fucking TV. It's on 12 hours a day in most homes, and 99% of what comes out of it is vomit.
But yes, show me a gun nut, and I'll show you a big pussy who's afraid of the world.

The NRA plays a huge part in this. I read one of their articles today about a man who produced firearm safety videos on Youtube who was shot to death in his own home. The NRA says this is proof that people need to arm themselves to protect themselves. To me this is proof of just the opposite - He had dozens of firearms and multiple firearms in the room he was murdered in and yet that didn't help him at all. Our fear of crime is making people arm themselves, which in turn helps to arm criminals and the mentally ill.
