Guns inflate the gun wielder's belief in his right to impose his will on the world. A lot of what gun wielders regard as "self defense" is in reality arrogant aggression. https://t.co/gpW6t3F2tH https://t.co/414aK33rbN — PolitiTweet.org

The Americans were horrified. They (all men) regarded it as emasculating to need permission from a wife/girlfriend to bring a gun into a shared home. Which tells you a lot about what this debate is really about: intimidation, domination, and control. — PolitiTweet.org

Anglo-American law historically balanced the right of self-defense with a duty to retreat. The US gun lobby has sought to remove this duty with "stand your ground" laws that are licenses (for some but not other) to kill if they feel offended or disrespected. Very Reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org
