This photo is prized by the ultra-conservative right: A blue UN Helmet shot an torn by bullet holes. They brag about it; make posters with it. Photoshop blood dripping from the holes and post "F*CK the UN!" all over the place. No kidding: one forum (a domain name dedicated to the AR-15, of course) had hundreds of comments, all from different people, with variations of "F the UN"
This is what we’re dealing with here: hyper-paranoid hate combined with delusions of “patriotic” self-defense against made-up ghosts. If these people were kids (or at least minors), we’d send them all to a shrink… and be worried about their mental well being. But they’re adults who own a lot of guns, all we can do is hope they don’t have a breakdown and start shooting up the place.
These people are convinced the UN will take over America, and convinced Obama is some sort of anti-christ, foreign-born dictator… which is why even the mention of a gun law, to them, is a threat to… everything. Fight to the death for the sake of fighting to the death!
