Do extreme right wing males have an inferiority complex

[downbeatplumb]

The other day on Facebook I was discussing about sensible gun control. The guy proceeded to call me a wimpy man and if there is ever an attack on our country he won't be there to defend me. I can defend myself, I own several guns. But what it is with these types of Right Wingers who feel they need to always act tough all the time? Is it some kind of inferiority complex??

I think he views you as someone who is dependent on others to protect you ie government, as opposed to someone who can protect themselves and be an individualist. I don't own a gun, but always thought it was strange how throughout human history governments want to prevent citizens from owning certain weapons, and then we have some citizens that want to give up their rights. It really comes down to being dependent and domesticated vs independent and free.

Granted I realize you own guns, and don't know what you mean by sensible in relationship to your argument with him was.

Governments want to stop people from owning certain weapons because occasionally there are times when people just shoot up other people for no good reason. In the UK automatic weapons were effectively banned after the Hungerford massacre, our government learned that allowing people to have this sort of fire power was a bad thing. We have had no other crimes of this sort since. The US for some reason refuses to learn and as a result has the equivalent of a Hungerford massacre every day.

When lots of people die from not wearing seat belts the law is changed to make you wear seat belts its the same thing.

The truth is, we need one another. The truth is, we could just kill each other. The truth is, a gun is what helps middle American white males feel secure in an unsecure, insecure world. And rich white American males are totally fine, with giving them a reason to believe that.

What makes non-white middle American men and women gun owners feel secure?

From what I can tell its when they cant see a police man.
Not because they have done anything wrong, but because in America the police seem to a branch of the KKK.
