17. i don't EXPECT anybody to have a gun.
and i see plenty of shame in relying on guns for any notion of personal strength -- i can think of nothing that denotes a certain lack of character more than that.

i come from an extremely violent past -- weapons of all sorts being plentiful.
and i trust no one with a gun -- no one.
every one is far too human.

now -- aside from that -- i think the right is pushing the envelope and i don't think they are going to stop.

so it would be with a grimness of purpose -- a real willingness to sell others lives very short -- because i have to -- that i would get a gun.
and that's where i think we are going --

i have no need of ''support groups'' for why i would get a gun -- and i would know why i have one.
and there would a real sense of defeat for me to own one.
