Why People Own Guns
To feel powerful and safe. Why does everyone always tiptoe around this one? Just admit it and move on.
Land of the Obvious
Everyone's always fussing about guns this, God that, flag this. Does anyone understand these are just symbols? Guess nobody wants to look at the deeper stuff. There are great people who own guns and love God as well as horrible people who like the same things. It would be great if people were judged on the things they do rather than what they say.
We've all heard of the devoutly religious households rife with abuse or the flag waving guy who clocks his kids. It's all about what people actually do. Some gun owners are kind and responsible, some sit in their barcalounger waiting for an excuse to shoot someone. Perhaps we could spend a little less time on symbols and actually examine how people live their lives. Results are all that matter.
