There does seem to be a certain mentality in this country, nearly always among men, who engage in fantasies about themselves as being big, tough heroes protecting the world against the "bad guys." Actually, they are not heroes at all, they are schoolyard bullies who should have outgrown that nonsense long ago. And when the bullies are armed and only too eager to start shooting, we have tragedies.
If there are no actual bad guys around, they are happy to make bad guys out of anyone whom they find even mildly annoying: a woman in a car parked in the wrong space... a teenager wearing a hoodie and walking down the street in a neighborhood where he does not live... a teacher he once had who was "mean" to him... the list goes on and on.
The problem with the SYG law is that it enables this sick mentality. Anyone who starts shooting for any reason can wiggle out of criminal responsibility by saying he felt "scared." If I lived in one of the states with that insane law, I'd be working day and night to try to get it repealed.

Well, since you opened the 'gender-bashing' door..let me add my observances regarding woman.
They are the ones strolling through life seeing the world through rose colored glasses, due to ignorance unable to see the actual world around them.
But when life does offer a threat, these are also the folks ready & willing to run to a man to deal with the threat.
These are also the folks willing & ready to use what ever sexual wares they may possess to get what they can from men, so as to ease their waltz through life.
So now....since we have , due to your lead, completely strayed from the topic & facts of the thread....what's next?
