    They are defending themselves for having a gun, probably because the feel guilty for having one at their core or feel like others will judge them for it

      Or because the comment they directly replied to said “gun people” broadly and they took it to mean "owners"and not “ammosexuals”

        Yeah I think there is a bit of a disconnect with gun people. Some people are purely about self defense, some people are just genuine enthusiasts, and then there is the group of people who like to pretend they are part of the first two groups but really seem to have a lust for blood - be it fear (someone rings the door bell, or mistakenly drives down the driveway), perceived persecution, political ideology or just downright racist shit.

        Antigun people seem to think everyone who likes guns is part of the last crazy group. It’s a bit hard to really tell who is who sometimes, but it’s definitely impossible to keep the guns out of the crazies hands.
