2. The right-wing gun lobby

and it's apologists claim that the annual 30,000 deaths from gun violence are just a drop in the bucket, and insignificant because Freedom, Liberty, and Second Amendment. Besides crime rates are going down because Billy Bob Sixpack carries a gun in his pick-em-up truck. Just ask Bundy -- he knows all about right-wing gun toting bigots and rednecks.

The extremist gun culture in this country is not only a laughing stock to the rest of the civilized world, it is a very sick culture which worships an inanimate object as if a gun could bestow power and courage to those who are too paranoid to face the real world.
