Is it the "that won't happen to me, it just happens to other people" kind of thinking?
I often wonder why gun owners are so scared. Is your nabe more dangerous than, say, NYC in the '70's (when me & my dog chased gun-wielding muggers for blocks)? We all in NYC got rid of the guns, and now are safer than the 'burbs.
You can go backwards, watch Faux news, imagining you are in the wild west, or go forward to the new economy. How different would your life be, and the life of your community, if folks ditched their expensive & time consuming gun habits, bought a good computer, & learned to function better in the new economy?
Or you can go backwards....
The country as a whole is safer now than ever.
