    The dilemma being that anyone who acts this way probably shouldn’t own guns.

    Placing gun ownership over all other personal freedoms is an unhealthy obsession.

    People who think they need weapons in case are not so different than those who think the rapture will occur in their lifetime.

      People think they need guns just in case only because so many other people have guns and because our gun violence is out of control.

      It’s an arms race leading only to more gun deaths.

      It’s also a delusion for the most part. None of the scenarios they carve out in their minds about why guns are essential tools has much basis in any rational threat profile. Otherwise these nutters would be walking around with helmets on all the time.
