    The cognitive dissonance over guns isn’t the worst one, though – it’s the part where a traffic accident on the parkway could leave you in the hospital through no fault of your own, and bankrupt soon after; and that this could happen any time during your car-based commute, morning and night, even if you had a good third-party insurance carrier who didn’t wriggle out of paying for care.

      Meanwhile getting shot by someone (accidently or not)… Not much you can do about it…
