I think some of these gun humpers think it's their God given right to shoot people of color,

if the gun humper perceives that cold blooded murder is warranted. For instance, George Zimmerman, Michael Trejka, and possibly Amber Guyger. they are self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner.

1. A red-neck relative came to my house once, and showed me a rifle he had in his truck....

Told me, "This is my 'Can-gun'. I use it to shoot 'Cans'--Afri-Cans, Mexi-Cans, Puerto Ri-Cans..." I asked him if it could shoot 'Ameri-Cans' and he gave me a dumb look. Then I told him to get it and himself the hell off of my property and not to come back.

Yeah, they're that way--they think they have a God-given right to shoot anything that's not right with their world.

afraid to face them off, no sir. I'll stand up for my rights, they are just as important as anyone else's, despite being 'liberal', such as social security, etc.

There might be some non-racist paranoid, scared gunners, but that shouldn’t bring any comfort.

I’m not particularly concerned about someone with a reasonable gun or two for hunting, target shooting, or home defense, as long as they don’t carry in public, have assault style weapons, get all excited about lethal accessories, etc.

4. Indeed. They fetishize the notion of a righteous kill.

They are ordinary people who fancy themselves some kind of Clint Eastwood hero who is in the right place at the right moment and saves the day with the awesomeness of gunz.

They train for years and years for the precious seconds where they kill a truly evil person and save their family, or a fair maiden, or a bus full of children. They dream of the parades thrown in their honor.


And completely unrelated to that, their heat of the moment, knee-jerk reaction to any sudden twitch of a person of color is that they're probably reaching for a weapon with malintent, so their "hero" training kicks in....
