You just post any nonsense that pops into your head. More access to guns? .22 caliber and shotguns but nothing remotely close to the firepower available today.What would these "on the edge" types have done during the Depression when they couldn`t pick up an assault rifle and go on a shooting spree? Better that they shoot themselves if they`re so miserable.PovertyI don`t know any of these people you describe. Why are they on edge?It has absolutely nothing to do with Liberals, Conservatives, Moderates, Republicans, Democrats, or any other label that you might think of. It has everything to do with people being frustrated, on edge, and ready to strike out at any authority.

Moron...they had even more access to guns in the depression........and they were less violent....except, again...for inner city gangs and bootleggers....
