RE: Why do gun nuts think they're going to play hero when it's been proven otherwise

I've been wondering about this myself. I'm wondering if it's because there is no real outlet for certain male instincts to fight in order to breed. If you're just driving a car to and from your office each day and living as an economic resource far removed from nature then there is very little outlet for your animal urges.
Another reason is that if you work at a skill, whether it's pointing one end of a gun very steadily at an inanimate object, or being able to remove it very quickly from a holster, then you probably start wanting situations where your work and effort could actually be useful. It's probably why zombie movies are so popular in America. Yay! A chance to shoot slow moving things in a moral free environment!
If these gun nuts really wanted to shoot someone then they could go to Syria / Iraq cand shoot someone from Daesh, but that's not ever a fantasy because that's actually dangerous. Maybe that's how Obama should solve the gun problem in America? If you want to own a gun then you have to be part of a well armed militia and that means the possibility of being sent off to war zones. I'm sure a lot of red necks would be up for it but most gun owners wouldn't.
