Much of the resistance to
banning assault weapons and extended ammunition clips comes from the Militia
mentality. Militias are not big here in Maine but next door in New Hampshire
Most of these militia groups consist
of people living in a fantasy world, and their attitudes and mental states
should be questioned. They feel the need
to arm to protect themselves from the government, from aliens, from the
Russians, from the Arabs, from minorities and from the zombies apocalypse - and
when they finally tip over the edge they are a danger to society. Unfortunately these nut cases can’t be
identified as mentally ill (though they are operating on the fringe) and so
would still pass a background check.
They obsess on Rambo movies
and Mad Max - and in their fantasies see themselves as intrepid heroes that
young women will flock to when 'the end' comes. I think most are sexually insecure and probably
were picked on as children. Almost all
have Concealed Carry License. Some are
x-military but most are posers. They
know they have never have the ability to become military Special Forces, so instead
dress in camouflage and act out their fantasies - the weapon the equalizer for
their otherwise pathetic manhood.
I get a Navy Special Ops
hard-on when I think about confronting one of these posers without his
weapon. But hell, I’m too old…and what
would it prove…but then again
the Ol’Buzzard
I figure most of them saw "Red Dawn" one too many times back in the 80s so fantasize about saving the country from hordes of invading Commies. Unfortunately, they've managed to forget that most of the characters in "Red Dawn" end up dead.
ReplyDeleteThey also conveniently forget that the 2nd Amendment was written at a time when the Founding Fathers were worried a heck of a lot more about outside invasions (the British coming back) than they were about citizens at some point in the future having to rebel against tyranny.
I just still want remote property and a modest little cave to live out the rest of my days peacefully.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could hear our local news here in Oklahoma. It has gotten to be seriously scary recently. Lots of talk about revolution because of what they see as a threat with the mere idea of gun control. I seriously do not understand these folks except to think it is the result of inbreeding.
ReplyDeleteOn any given day it's hard to tell if it's the christians or muslims that are winning.
