E-Kul lives in fear.
Maybe I should buy a gun, isn't that what people who live in fear do?
See that's the thing, if I actually felt afraid and fearful of some epidemic crime wave I would go and buy a gun, seriously!
People who are afraid buy and own guns, it's that simple. The whole industry is based on fear mongering and propaganda, making the average citizen believe they are about to be violated any day now, by the criminal, by their government etc etc. Only a fool would buy into such nonsense. (and there is no shortage of fools in America)
One of the very reasons I don't feel afraid and fearful is because of our strict gun regulations. I don't have to worry in the theatre, in public or sending my kids to school. If Australia ever becomes like America with overwhelming homicide and crime I might consider gun ownership, but one of the very reasons Australia is is so safe is because we haven't tipped over into a gun culture, if the majority owned guns, Australia would soon end up in the mess America has been in for decades.
