Quote of the day

Individually, we do not bear arms because we are afraid. We bear arms as a declaration of capacity. An armed man can cope – either in the city or in the wilderness – and because he is armed, he is not afraid.

The hoplophobe fears and, yes, hates us because we are not afraid. We are overwhelmingly “other” than he, and in a way that emphasizes his afflictions.
