It's the whole "Wild West" thing that the gun nuts seem to cling too.
The only people I see cling to any 'Wild West' mythology is the anti-gun crowd.
People, like you, who don't know jack shit about guns, the Old West (Which wasn't as wild as Hollywood would have you believe), or much of anything else.
Settling up with shootin' irons just doesn't seem the way to go..moving forward.
Do you know why we have a standing military? Do you know why people learn Aikido and Krav Maga? Do you know the most common reason for having a gun in the home?
Because people who rape and murder other people will always have weapons. And they
love idiots like you who don't believe in being able to defend yourself or your children.
