When I was in AA I learned the maxim “I can be right or I can be well” and it neutralized about 80% of the people and things that pissed me off. Another 15% has been reduced to a nuisance that I say “fuck off!” to, and the remaining 5% are inanimate objects which I respond to rather violently.
If you are not prepared to arm up and defend yourselves it will never get any better, and calling everyone who tells you that “gun nuts” and “ammosexuals” is not gonna inspire anyone to defend you. Begging is not going to work; violence is the only reasonable response.
