Just a thought

If I may, I though I might give my thoughts on the mind of the gun nut. (Especially the concealed-gun devotees, guns by themselves are fine by me.)

1. Society can be neatly divided between "law-abiding citizens" who never commit any crimes and criminals who commit all of the crimes.

2. All members of this criminal class are more or less the same. Every two-bit thief or junkie is a potential murderer and must be treated as such.

3. Fear(of getting shot) is more powerful motivator than desire. ( For your wallet. Tell that to a pimp sprinkling angel dust on his cigarette.)

4. Furthermore, criminals look at the world through the same reference as gun nuts, and are more concerned about weather or not a mark has a gun than weather or not they look lost and disoriented on the bad end of town.

5. Members of the "safe" class are "normal" Americans. (Christian? middle-class? White?) and are therefore easily distinguishable from criminals.
