That is because normal people have to provide their own protection.  Always remember that when seconds count the police are only minutes away.

So your right to protect yourself, in the unlikely event you need to do so, means the rest of us have to be concerned about you.  If you are afraid of the boogieman to the extent that you need to go around armed at all times, how do you think we feel having to interact with you and your arms?  How much of a walking breathing hair trigger are you?  How can we know?

Life isn't that scary, but folks like you manage to make it worse.

Indeed; pretty scary. I am wary right now of the places where those folks live. They expressed their anger and fear peacefully at the polls, with likely very unfortunate results. How else can they express it?

You folks on the left are way too paranoid.  The more law abiding gun owners there are in my neighborhood, the less crime, and the safer I feel.

There are a hell of lot more folks killed by gun-wielding mass murderers than by terrorists.  So I would say folks on the right's paranoia about terrorists is ever sillier than the same about spree shooters in the left.
