Why is the media so afraid of guns, anyway? The only thing I'm afraid of are people willing to commit violence. Like looting stores. My neighbor owning an assault rifle doesn't scare me. Some jogger with a hammer mashing my windows in and me not having a gun for defense, that would be scary.

I'm not sure. They act like it's a bad thing to own guns, and the lefties think it's a bad thing too but they don't realize the reason why armed protestors don't get fucked with by police is because the protestors are armed. It's also why black groups like the NFAC don't get fucked with when protesting and doing demonstrations, it's because they're armed. (Even though they're a retarded group of literal black supremacists.)

I guess the media doesn't want the right and left to find common ground. The far right and the far left are both anti large government control of our lives and have more in common with each other than we do different. I think the far right is disgusted by the way some on the left live their lives and those on the left are disgusted with how we live ours but what we all want is freedom. Guns are a tool to achieve that freedom but THEY don't want us to see it that way.

Yes and somehow gun violence is always played up. Like some unstable 16 year old shooting up his school is somehow an argument against guns, when it really is an argument to arm the teachers at the very least. That unstable kid wouldn't have an easy time if someone at school could fight back.

Not sure where the deep fear of guns originates.

If you removed inner city gang violence and suicides from the gun statistics, the United States would look like most European nations as far as gun violence goes, even though we're incredibly well armed as a populace. Mass shootings are fucked up and horrible but a drop in the bucket of total gun deaths compared to gang bangers shooting other gang bangers.
