Our society has been fed an unending diet of fear. Soccer moms are scared of white vans lurking around every corner, and the "crime waves" heralded in media reports. Cops are scared of citizens, because they know Remington pumps out both their favorite tool and the cause of harm. Criminals are scared of better armed rivals. The gun companies are one of the few industries where BOTH THE CAUSE AND THE CURE ARE IN THEIR HANDS!! Imagine if Pfizer could legally sell cancer causing kits AND chemotherapy?!? We are a fear fueled society that has been sold on guns being the best, and often only hope, against a myriad of fears. And since selling fear is so darn profitable, the likelihood of reform is almost impossible.
