I posted a meme where I stated that it appears that several people were close to becoming "operational".
I got this rebuke from Polaris to my asking the question and to those that responded that agreed with my position.
I responded that he was suffering a massive case of "normalcy bias" if he could not sense that the nation was brewing and that leadership should take steps to turn the temperature down.
While looking through my Feedly Feed I ran across this article from "The Truth About Guns" (TTAG).
Over ninety percent of those who responded stated that Gun Guys had reached the point.
My question to Polaris and those that think like him should be why are you surprised and why should this not be an expected reaction?
Our President was re-elected with just a tad bit over fifty percent of the citizens that chose to vote. Our Congress has an approval rating that is below thirty percent.
And yet these people who don't have a mandate from the people, who don't represent the views of the people are asking those same individuals to trust them when they say that they're only putting forth common sense firearms regulation.
The arrogance would be laughable if it wasn't so in your face. I'll say it again. I hope leadership is aware enough to turn down the temperature before a "miscalculation" is made.

The only f*cking heat generator here is you and you're self-styled treasonous lunatics.Hmmm.

Question of the Day: Are Gun Guys Reaching the Point of No Return?“Legislative debates over gun rights, up significantly since the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., have spurred alleged death threats,” usatoday.com reports, “resulting in two high-profile arrests and causing lawmakers in one state to declare their legislature was under attack.” Notice the word “alleged.” Despite the declarative headline—Lawmakers who proposed gun laws face threats—the article uses the qualifier six times. That said, the post paints a picture of a vicious circle: gun guys get mad, gun grabbers call them madmen, gun guys get madder. Wash, rinse, repeat. Add unpopular (with the gun guys) gun control legislation and a few SWAT raids gone bad and you have millions of gun guys contemplating revolt against their own government. Are we there yet?TTAG had over one hundred and forty responses.
