I watched Vance telling a rally how they found 19 loaded handguns stashed around his grandmother's house. He said it occurred to them that because she was old and frail she always wanted to be in reaching distance of a loaded gun to protect herself and her family. The audience clapped and laughed with delight. Vance said this was the America they were fighting for and everyone applauded.
They're delighted at an anecdote that explains how a frail old woman was so fucking terrified that she stashed 19 loaded handguns all over her house. And they wonder why we think they're unhinged.

@Richard65 My wife went to the states for work and all the office workers had guns in their glove compartments. They needed guns to feel safe. This is ideal? Something to be proud of?

@JimboSaturn of you don't like it then don't do it.if it bothers you then don't live here. Simple ,I live here cause this is what I want! All we want from our government is protection from invasions and to take care of the infrastructure neither of which Biden is doing!

@JimboSaturn gun deaths won't change if you take away guns.no guns means only the bad guys will have them and not even the cops the way you people think about the cops

@Klingwood Statistics say the opposite. The rest of the world proves that.

@JimboSaturn why are you so afraid of guns?
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@Klingwood Not really its math. Fine I dont need a gun where I live.
Klingwood · 61-69, M
@JimboSaturn that's good but if you wanted one? By the way I don't need one here either
Klingwood · 61-69, M
@JimboSaturn but yes really it's all in how it's out into the system. Seen it done very often just to get the outlook you are after

@Richard65 19 hand guns. I’m pretty sure she wasn’t afraid of anything.
Richard65 · M
@SW-User but the necessity to have 19 handguns ready and loaded is rooted in fear. The fear is alleviated by the comfort of having 19 handguns stashed around the house. Imagine how overwhelming the fear must have been to make her do that.
In fact, America's obsession with guns is wholly rooted in fear. It must be one of the most collectively terrified countries on Earth.

@Richard65 I see that differently. I don’t have guns at my house because I’m afraid. I’m honestly not. But in the same respect, people wore cotton face mask and took untested vaccines for the same reason as you’re saying she had guns.
Richard65 · M
@SW-User I agree, they did that through fear. But most Americans have guns for protection. That clearly means they are aware and anxious that they or their families might get attacked. That's fear, worry, unease that causes people to have guns (outright terror if you feel a need to stash 19 loaded handguns). It's still fear that necessitates you having a gun, even if you don't acknowledge that.

@Richard65 You call it fear, I call it protection. Do we have auto, home, and life insurance because we are afraid of something happening? No. We have it just in case something happens.
Richard65 · M
@SW-User you're equating car insurance with having a gun. Think about how far into the rabbit hole Americans have to descend to make such a comparison.
You have a gun through fear. You're just unable to admit it.

@Richard65 No. I’m not equating car insurance to a gun. HUGE difference. I was stating that it’s possible to own a gun not because of fear. I’m sure some people do own guns because they are afraid, and that’s fine. That’s part of living in America. Take the vaccine if you’re afraid. I don’t care. That’s your right. But for me personally, believe it or not, I shoot my guns for recreation (target practice) and hunting.
