It's extraordinary to see so many acting out their childhood abuse on this site.
Just as it is extraordinary that so many here have been taught to love and fear God.
And just as extraordinary that so many have been taught to love guns which are designed for one purpose.
But why should we be surprised to see that the abused become the abusers?

People have more responsibility in what they say and do than you allow here.
Instead of talking out your ass.
Throwing away guns won't end child abuse. Nor will hating them.
Just picked up the last few lines of this thread and wanted to make a few comments. These will be about my experience with people who love guns.
I grew up in a time and place where nearly every family had them. They were a practical piece of equipment for prairie families at that time. Families were isolated and many of them raised animals which contributed to their well-being. And those animals had to be protected agains predators.
It was a matter of survival and I know that many of the farmers had a respect for and love of creatures. It was a necessity, though, to kill at times.
I have also known true sportsmen who held themselves to high moral standards and made hunting a true sport. I say "true" because the concept of sports as we experience it today seems to have little to do with the honorable ideas of the Greeks.
The guns are with us. Some of us use them in a safe and sane manner. Others of us use them for control and power.
A gun is an implied threat.
And a gun pointed at you is an explicit threat.
If a husband has a gun, it is an implied threat to the wife.
How do you think a wife feels when she gets into conflict with a husband with a gun?
How do you think children feel living in an environment where people need guns?
The fact is that children are afraid of people with guns.
Of course guns have their proper uses. Here, if you are a farmer or a sportsperson, you can get a gun.
But if you have no legitimate use for a gun, you can't get one.
i didn't know people were suprised to see the abused become the abusers. i thought that was a generally known and accepted fact. also the context of "fear" when you say "fear of God" is incorrect. its not a literal fear.It's extraordinary to see so many acting out their childhood abuse on this site.
