The NRA's entire narrative revolves around fantasizing about killing
people -- killing the "bad guys." It is propped up by fear and paranoia
about runaway "gang members" (which as a bonus is probably racial
coding) who are going to break into your home while you're there (also
statistically unlikely) so you need a gun to protect your family --
protect them by blowing away the bad guys. To purchase a gun in the
unlikely chance that you would need to use it against an armed intruder
or in a public shootout is to fantasize about violence in a much more
real and dangerous way than those who fire up their video-game
consoles.
