Hi Straggler,
1) Economic disparity and the concentration of power that comes with concentration of wealth
3) The government fostering an ever greater climate of fear in which civil liberties are ever diminished in the name of national security (whilst the most right wing of gun advocates avidly cheer them on)
Especially when (1) and (3) are currently working together ....
Now it might get interesting if the Tea Poopers ever got in a situation where they were defending their homes from foreclosure by the banks with a little armed resistance to see if their actions fit their mouths ...
Enjoy
