The last few days I've seen the term "gun culture" thrown around and it bugged me. I've figured out why it bugs me. The term "gun culture" is equivalent to the term "gay agenda." Really. Both are used by the ignorant and fearful to demonize that which they seem unable to comprehend. Both signal to me that the person using the term doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
And if the title of this post made your head explode, perhaps you shouldn't look here or it's likely to happen all over again.
