I can't imagine what it must be like going through life being afraid of everything all the time and also having a fantasy in which you get to kill someone.

    My neighbor is "that guy."

    Doesn't leave his house or even answer the door without a gun.

    Very nice guy, just terrified of... stuff?

    My brother has a neighbor who regularly yells crazy rants at the neighbors on his lawn while holding his gun in the air. The cops have been called and claim they can do nothing. This would be in Atlanta, so I'm not exactly shocked...

    It's not fear. The guy in the picture walks around with guns because he wants to, not because he's scared. He wants to be challenged. He wants to be able to pull out his gun and shoot someone.

    These people are not "scared" as much as they want to be feared.

    They want an excuse to kill. That's it.

    I'm surrounded by it in Texas and you're 100% correct. These guys fetishize their guns and the idea of killing people. You'll note after being around a 2A nut that they aren't discussing things that worry them. Most of the language that you hear is along the lines of "I wish they would" or "I'd pop a motherfucker for trying that".

    They are genuinely looking for an excuse to legally murder someone and you should not feel safe around them.

    Science disagrees with you:

    "Specifically, the research shows that people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala -- typically thought of as the "primitive brain" -- is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear. The anterior cingulate is thought to be responsible for courage and optimism. This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conservatives "think differently" from others."

    Ignoring the gun violence crisis in America aspect, people who make 1 single thing their entire personality are so annoying. You like guns, whatever. But you now have to always be wearing one and even your clothes need to always feature guns!? Trying to talk to this dude about anything else must be exhausting...

    Don’t worry, I’m sure he’d be happy to talk about his political views.

    Just remember that guy is like 5 times more likely to kill himself (or accidentally kill someone else) than to use one of those guns in a legitimate self defense scenario...

    I hope that back gun isn’t loaded. If so, he would be the easiest person to rob on earth.

    Nobody going to point out the ridiculous key ring? OK, maybe he needs all those keys for his job. Why the hell would you carry that around?!

    This poor man desperately needs to feel important, needs to look important.

    And for those of you not into gun culture, this guy is a wild outlier. There's nothing practical or sensible being rigged like that. You won't find anyone teaching or condoning this sort of thing, only as an example of what not to do.

    There's no way that many keys fit into his pocket. So he has no choice but to carry them everywhere. His only other option would be to clip them to his belt, but that would leave less room for guns.

    Real men open carry by walking around shirtless with a gun gaffer taped to their shoulder blade so if a terrorist ever tells them to put their hands behind their head they can pop one off when they don't expect

    Wondering if people like this were bullied or abused early in life? That they are now trying to get back some semblance of control, and maintain an ongoing ability to get revenge or get back control that they never felt as a child? ….. Besides that, those jeans are about to drop for sure!

    At least that’s a revolver he’s packing. He’ll be limited to six shots with that before reloading, and not some ridiculous number like nine or sixteen.

    After all, if you cannot solve a non-military, non-combat problem with six shots or less, you are unlikely to solve it with more.

    Oh how I wish these people would actually experience the armed showdown with the US government they all crave. I need that drone footage. Oh the juicy videos from 1000ft above of Skeeter and his J6 posse disappearing in a cloud of smoke like ants.

    Nah, just a single encounter with a robber or something.

    Either they show their true cowardliness and run away like everyone else, get shot by the robber because they will down anyone with a gun first, or get shot by the police for being confused as the criminal.

    They all have this idea that they are some super hero that will save the day, but the chance of that happening is extremely low.
