susanna in Greenfield Massachusetts ascend to be a champion haces and what's
up
from crunch time I just wanted to make a couple of comments about how to be on
the gentleman had called much earlier in your program
and with talking about guns and you were trying to get him to explain
well who would you be shooting and he never quite explain himself
rent and the first thing I want to say
years I don't know if you've ever looked at it from the standpoint but it looks
like
some of these people who like to stockpiled guns
I wonder if it's sort of a male version up to harding mentality that sometimes
women get when they get older
where they start to hoard you know dolphin things in the house becomes
for junk could be I wondered begin ok
men are socialized to like guns its taste or deport them for
some sort of psychological reason could be and there's the whole
you know for its Eunos take on that tan
yeah yeah I've ever heard that one before her to but other
comment I had a little more serious was and this is something I've been
concerned about as well and maybe this is what that gentleman was getting cabin
never explain
maybe some people are concerned that if
there's a collapse in the economy because nowadays
people have left connection to each other
and have more violent media that they're exposed to
that folks might panic and take history
and starts tour of the and rampage
and some folks think all or if I go into my house and I have a gun
I'll be able to keep my neighbors that have gone crazy from taking my food
yeah well i think thats I think that is the
the the image in the future that these people are creating for themselves as my
callers earlier who
a apparently from the way he was talking has more than just a passing familiarity
with psychology said
you know this is an anxiety disorder there could were causing a panic
disorder
and an army but any other this kinda rhetoric in this kinda worldview is
causing people to imagine
a a dystopian future a blade runner future
that in all probability will not exist and then
be take the feelings have that future and bring them into the present moment
and freak out
that's true and I think that might actually influence
CEO george Zimmerman case where in his mind
he automatically assumed somebody walking at night
in my neighborhood who I am personally not for me know your limits must be a
burglar out
to do evil rather than thinking all some kid that went to the store somebody it's
lost or something
right yeah died oh I don't disagree and and
this were word now experiencing a national psychosis in this area
um excellent points is and thank you for calling to make it
