I have come to a conclusion, that many have probably had, that the ‘gun hugging’ of AR’s and AK’s is not about ‘tyranny’, per se, but about racist anxieties, the fear that brown and black people will ‘take over’, marginalizing white males and their centuries of supremacy. A powerful, fast firing large magazine weapon is for killing ‘them’, not government agents. Gun huggers are, if they realize it or not, racist paranoids.
