I totally respect the US military. I have no respect for some poorly educated American cretin that thinks he has to collect a hundred firearms, and parade around with them in a place like Walmart, because Alex Jones or Wayne LaPierre has convinced said cretin that he has to do this to keep Obama at bay.
A right that no one is willing to exercise is no longer a right.
An armed society isn't a polite society. It's an intimidated society, where the intent of your putting your right on public display has much less to do with your rights than it does with cowing others into what you consider to be proper behaviour. I can't think of anyone on this planet that I would trust less than someone obsessed with their own rights and who is also completely indifferent to the concept of their own responsibilities.
Every other generation of Americans, prior to the Vietnam era which apparently kicked off all this insane anti-government nonsense, markedly did not behave in this manner. Your generation does though, as do the generations following yours, and the huge unanswered question hanging over everything is why.
