People fear that gun folks are going to suddenly get angry and start shooting everyone. Well, I just found out (a few days ago) that I was cheated on and had four months of my life wasted by a selfish brat of a boy, and not once has shooting him entered into my head. Allow me to clarify; This was not a drunken accidental slip. It was premeditated, fly to another state, lie by omission, try to rationalize it, cheating. It ended with him getting caught and being forced to come clean to me, but only after I had picked him up from the airport... I was used, no doubt; But while I'm deeply hurt, I'm not thinking of causing him any physical harm. I'm leaving all my anger to the theory of, "What goes around, comes around," and letting the whole thing go.However, this incident causes me to consider why some people, with access to a firearm, reach for them at stressful moments like this. Frankly, I think people who turn to violence to solve non-violent issues, are not normal, they are criminally unhinged. (In my professional opinion) they are missing that part of the brain that knows the difference between defending one's self against a real threat and using force to appear stronger, or more powerful, than another.
