  • Funny you bring up the forest. In the city, if you call the police you get the police. In rural areas, especially in the vast geography that is the US, you call the police to make a report. The police aren’t going to get there before the shit has already gone down.

    If you were to look at a graph of rural American counties and replican support, there’s a lot of overlap. This isn’t new. People growing up there have been indoctrinated into gun culture for the past two hundred years, since grandpappy and his pappy before him beheld the Winchester rifle from god himself to protect them from the dinosaurs and homosexuals.

    Is it logical? No, absolutely not. But then again, the emotional reaction to the threat is real, and it’s played out time and time again. I’d like to offer a solution, and hell I’d be happy to roll back gun rights to single-shot muzzleloaders (because if you need more than one shot to get that deer you deserve a one year penalty), but at the moment there isn’t anything that people can agree on.
