Out getting a haircut, missing the fun.
As Lawrence gave the game away and Tsing Tao is a cold fish, I doubt the coward taunt will get him to reveal himself soon enough.
They are on the psychopath spectrum. Both have an itching desire to kill. It may or may not be what they really want as GWB hopes, but that is a reality of a core of gun nuts, they just want to kill someone.
Boys, if you can find a "sin-eater" or some other magical entity, you can have some of mine. I can give you a 95% guarantee you won't go to hell carrying them, the were bad guys I am sure... A friend could could give you some hot ones. We were discussing this last week.
A lot of lads harbor a desire to kill, particularly when a childhood has been tough but not always.
A friend finished out the last two years recruiting. He has innumerable stories of guys who straight out said they wanted to sign up as they wanted to kill someone, legally. Had he been a recruiter for the US military, might have taken them.
If not past this phase by about 24-25 then the man is an organic psychopath to partial, nature nurture..
This is not an on-off thing, Hare who invented the most popular psychopathy test estimated that around 7% were 'partial psychopaths'. Partly explained below, there is an overlay with the idea of sociopaths.
A lot of the NRA guys have a secret(or not so) wish to kill, pop their cherry etc.
It is an old feeling they carry. Their motivation is not to protect 'rights', it is too abstract, they could give a shit about the 2nd etc, but to keep a window of opportunity open and they feel safer with the cover of others.
Best to hide in plain sight.

"Partial" Psychopaths
Regardless of whether they are characterized as compensated psychopaths, partial psychopaths, subclinical psychopaths or subcriminal psychopaths, these psychopaths cause others to suffer immeasurably from their own psychopathy, and conveniently for them they do it without a trace of their always nonexistent conscience.
Dr. Robert D. Hare, the world's foremost expert on the psychopath, has described psychopathy as “a socially devastating disorder defined by a constellation of affective, interpersonal, and behavioral characteristics." Particularly characteristic of the psychopath are shallow emotions, the utter absence of empathy, guilt, or remorse, glibness/superficial charm, manipulativeness, inconsistency, deceitfulness/lying and a grandiose sense of self-worth.
Lacking any genuine remorse, psychopaths also lack the motivation to change. It's generally thought that not only do psychopaths not get better with treatment, they actually get worse because they learn how to better manipulate the system, as well as the clinicians who try to treat them. According to Robert Hare, "Administrators actually took it to mean that not only are they not treatable, but if they're going to be worse, let's do everybody the service of not treating them." Dr. Hare believes in developing a good treatment plan; there just isn't one yet.
The term Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) was originally meant to replace the charged (and not clearly distinguishable) terms psychopath and sociopath to describe psychopathy, but Dr. Hare argues convincingly that ASPD and psychopathy are in reality, by their actual definitions, describing different disorders.
The incidence of ASPD has been estimated at 3% in males and 1% in females, while the rate of psychopathy is about 20% to 50% of the rate of ASPD. With 300 million people, the United States therefore has a range of roughly 1.2 to 3 million psychopaths within it's borders in 2006, and because there are fewer than 100 (clearly dangerous) serial killers, this suggests that about 1.2 to 3 million other socially dangerous psychopaths, existing on a continuum of varying degrees of severity, are wreaking their havoc in countless other devastating and socially dangerous ways."
