"I think you're displacing some anger at a symptom, and not the cause."
Um, tell us, which group is it that's peddling gun rights AND blocking any legislation that might provide a Canadian style safety net (universal health insurance for example) AND pimping for the Military-Industrial-Petroleum-Banking Conglomerate. Here's a hint, Grover Norquist is on their board of directors, as is Ted Nugent.

"I noted that many right-wingers had their guns on display as a sign of...well, I would guess low self-esteem... and some bottled up anger resulting from within...? They and the rabid NRA types are not representative of the majority of gun owners."
You know, I've heard that line for years and years...but if you go to any gun owner forum on the web, all you find is the same extremist dittohead right wing nonsense....and you can look in vain for any murmur of complaint anywhere at the excesses of the NRA or other gun groups.

I myself think a majority of gun owners favor commonsense gun control...and that the only people opposed are those using the issue to mask another agenda.
