Guns Are Magic

 Guns are magic!

They turn men from cowards into mighty lone warriors defending their life, their family, their culture, their home and property.

They are ONLY wielded by good guys.

The targets are well established non-persons, or the gun turns them into non-persons very quickly and conveniently. That's part of the magic. Non-persons don't have families, culture, or their own property.

It's much easier to kill the second non-person after killing the first. That wasn't so hard, was it? Automatic weapons mean you don't even have to aim so well. 

Let's get back to the coward. Where does that fear come from? How is that fear concentrated and directed? Why is there a feeling of injustice when others share the same rights you do? And why is a violent solution the preferred, even cultivated, "solution" to these fears? 

Why is a solution for security involving community support and connection, and reality checking, not the first place to go, rather than, say, a militarized police force, or self appointed individual.

That's where the real transformational magic is.
