There are some really scary, paranoid gun-nuts out there, like this guy who says he'll be happy to "fire the first shot" in the revolution that is going to start of Obama tries to impose stricter control on the sale of assault weapons, and that he's "gonna start killing people".
This kind of insane paranoia is pretty much impossible for me to get my head around, but the internet is full of nuts if you go looking for them. In some ways it's stuff like this that I find more depressing. It's a long read, a blog post from Sam Harris, the author and well known atheist. Harris is someone I admire - I've read his books, and I consider him a rationalist - and yet when it comes to guns, his rationality abandons him. He is clearly blinded by his own attachment to them. For someone who usually brings an intellectual rigour to things, his arguments in favour of mass gun ownership are riddled with holes and he side-steps the obvious counter arguments so as not to have to deal with them. My heart actually sank reading it. Everyone has feet of clay...
