When I read rhetoric like this I have to think that a person was raised in a very dangerous area or that they are very insecure.
We know what the laws are. I grew up in the Midwest among hunters who would eat rabbit and venison that they shot. I grew up in a household with a police officer. I grew up with respect for guns and thought it was good I know how to shoot if I would need to. I buy meat at the grocery and carefully read the papers and watch the news and evaluate opinions from folks on my computer and feel kind of reassured that some of my neighbors who are solid and have backgrounds that are very reassuring have guns.
But when there is a "swagger" in a comment I can sense it.
