This post by Jeff reminded me of something concerning the so-called “gun debate” in this country.  Gun owners are regularly demonized by the anti-gunners as blood-thirsty child murderers who have short fuses and who will kill everyone in sight in a hail of gunfire after a minor fender-bender.  Frankly, if gun owners were as bad as they say we are, we’d have killed all the anti-gunners long before now. 

It’s easy to mock or demonize the civilized.  The real test of guts is mocking the violent and uncivilized.
