In reply to the discussion: How Military Guns Make the Civilian Market [View all]Starboard Tack
(11,181 posts)36. Like I said, the key word is "most"
And thankfully, that is the case. Imagine if it were otherwise. I have a young friend (friend of my daughter, actually) whom I recently spent some time with. Pleasant, peace loving guy, who has a twin brother. The brother just got out of the USMC, very embittered because he didn't get posted to a hostile zone and didn't get to kill any "ragheads", which he really wanted. Now, apparently, he's building his own little armory and filling his head with extreme RW hatred. A ticking time bomb with a clean record. Makes one wonder how many of those are walking around, all eager to scratch that itch.

That's as ridiculous as saying anyone choosing to not carry WANTS to be a victim.

You just don't get it do you? You don't even try to get it, it seems. Don't want to get it.
