The entire problem with 

the 'good guy with a gun'

myth is that EVERYONE

thinks of themselves as 

a 'Good Guy.'

Everyone.

Including Donald Trump,

racist police officers, 

unstable meth heads, 

rapists, criminals, Nazis,

and every other vile

creature on the planet.

Subjectivity rules--and

those who least have control

of their faculties or Reality

usually think they're most

in control.

'Common sense' on gun

safety can not be decided 

by people who have a proven 

history of not having 

common sense.

End the GOP & NRA

love affair: Protect

American citizens.

The thing is, when you have a cache

of guns and a million pieces of ammo,

it's probably because you see threats where

none exist...so having weapons to "defend yourself

against threats" becomes problematic.

Every gun owner I've ever known was an

extreme paranoid, an aggressive problem-starter,

and quick to whip out those damned KILLING
MACHINES like they were toys and holding them

 was no big deal.

Perception is a prickly beast.

Everybody thinks they're the good guy;

An armed nation would mean every person

with a gun, an attitude, and a grudge feeling

justified to use force because they 'perceive'

that they are threatened.

People's perceptions are often wrong.
