12. "RE: A Musing Upon Firearms"
In response to message #4
For what it's worth, I think the drinking of the Kool-Aid is the bigger problem than the guns themselves. Once you have people who actually believe that they need to be armed with military-grade firepower in order to resist tyranny and/or a home invasion of the kind normally associated with dystopian-world RPGs, it makes for a very nasty case of paranoia.
On a related note, I sometimes wonder what would happen if one were to set off a string of firecrackers at an NRA convention?
