I can't imagine what it must be like going through life being afraid of everything all the time and also having a fantasy in which you get to kill someone.

It's not fear. The guy in the picture walks around with guns because he wants to, not because he's scared. He wants to be challenged. He wants to be able to pull out his gun and shoot someone.

These people are not "scared" as much as they want to be feared.

They want an excuse to kill. That's it.

I'm surrounded by it in Texas and you're 100% correct. These guys fetishize their guns and the idea of killing people. You'll note after being around a 2A nut that they aren't discussing things that worry them. Most of the language that you hear is along the lines of "I wish they would" or "I'd pop a motherfucker for trying that".

They are genuinely looking for an excuse to legally murder someone and you should not feel safe around them.

Someone could just pull this guy’s own back-gun and plug him at the grocery store. Looks like he could barely reach it without cramping up his old man arms. Though I assume he has to remove it before sitting in his truck all day.
