The Gun Seeks a Society, and the Society Seeks a Crime

   The gun seeks a society, and the society seeks a crime.
   Perhaps, we should say it is the gun owner who seeks friends to play with, for the gun is but an inanimate tool. But, the gun defines its owner --not all of them, but many. Their world revolves around the gun -- or guns, plural, for many have arsenals.
   Not all of them seek friends to share their love of guns with, but many do. Some join militias. Some just talk guns with other gun owners.
   Now, not all those who get together to talk guns are out looking for crimes. But, I will say this: Of those who own arsenals, many --maybe even most -- do so with an eye towards the day their tools will be useful.
   Some are wary of government, and hold that the day might come that they need to rise up in rebellion against it. Some already feel the government is corrupt and in need of a cleansing. I suppose I do not agree that our government has reached such a stage. And, I am much less sure than they that it ever will.
  So, I say, the gun seeks a society, and the society seeks a crime.
