The delusion created when small minded people & men with little penises emasculated at birth through circumcision have to bolster their egos to such a ridiculous extent but still allow themselves to be emasculated.

We Americans have gun obsessions. Somehow we think there is an Amendment that says we have rights to own all sorts of guns and weapons just in case the government tries to "take us over." This is a lie, but I have seen cartoons of a man inside a military tank and people claiming we need every weapon and even bombs as our arsenal of weapon capability grows. I find this idea ridiculous. It is also ridiculous that our major political parties distort gun ownership for personal gain. I also believe that some people here follow this to a milder extent and even teach it to their children. This would be why we have school shootings and other horrors here.

It has little to do with movies or violence on film IMO. It has everything to do with personal suppression of feelings and a need to be known. Work cultures in America suppress us as a person and this is easily passed on to our children. Before long we have 2 kids in trench coats wanting to become known by shooting kids in their high school. Kids act as though this is a fad and soon what I call "monkey see, monkey do" kicks in. It has others saying they will kill more people than the last guys did. Suppressed feelings have a great need of attention. A lot of us have desires of attention. I'm not sure what the fix for all this is. Maybe more education and more attention towards our children. Maybe bringing back the military draft system and even teaching government in our high schools again. We have been following a corporate line of thinking lately that has led to a dumbing down of America.

I'm a gun owner too. Earlier in life I thought I was Matt Dillon or even Paladin from TV westerns. Nothing real about this but I thought there was for a great many years. It led to my desire of what is called "plinking" where you shoot tin cans and other objects just because you can. A carry over for me on this type of shooting led to a recent purchase of a magnum revolver modeled after the 1873 SSA design that looked like the pistols of TV western fame. Shooting these involves a gun range today or some secluded property away from people. Aiming the weapon is like pointing your finger. Yeah, I go out sometimes and think I am Paladin. Not much chance of me wanting to do a school shooting or engage in a standoff with cops. In fact, for your own safety you load a six shooter with only 5 cartridges. Otherwise you might end up being shot.

I carried a revolver of a different type in the U. S. Army. My job title required that I have both of my hands free as I was an Engineer doing demolitions. The pic here shows the 2 types of military revolvers. Officers carried pretty much what they wanted. My base commander carried 2 western revolvers like the magnum I am showing. Patton carried one like it with pearl handles. Who knows. Maybe these guys thought they were cowboys too.
