re: #98 No Country For Old Haters

I have a friend who owns guns. He’s on the same page as we are regarding nuts with guns. He met some wingnuts in AZ, and saw their bunker and gun hoard, and was as horrified as we would be.

I think a lot of the gun nuts have lead poisoning. It turns out to be pretty common in people who play with guns often. It impacts thoughts, without the victim being aware that they’re not thinking clearly.
Both the people I know who shoot have been diagnosed with lead poisoning.

That’s a better guess than mine. I was thinking toxoplasmosis—the transfer of the parasite in cat feces that takes over the human brain and commands it to do odd things like get more cats. But there’s a weak correlation.
