Forums where the squeaky wheel gets the attention always have those that
post the loudest... It averages out on the side of misleading.
Those into guns are of the loudest of kids playing at adults. Like watching
Joe Flaherty & John Candy on SCTV spouting with glee how they "blowed it
up" "blowed it up reeeel good", then mosey on off to well paying officially
limited-effort union jobs with full health benefits, and pensions, and
everything forever.... Many watching all day sports & retiring to their
nice boats etc. at 45 - with pay. Lots of time to loudly defend how violent
& macho they'll be behind flesh ripping projectile machines, set to kill
reeeel good anyone who might be tresspassing. (whether they're mistaken, or
had a beer or 2 isn't the point. They THOUGHT they were in "danger")
BUT, they're not the majority here. (but are positive they are)
