Thing is, it’s not fear, it’s a power fantasy that a lot of gun nuts have that they can be the heee-roow. They want to so badly stop that bad guy that it gives them an ego trip that short circuits reason and data. If they win that lottery they won’t be able to get their gun out in time, won’t be able to target things properly, probably will die in the process or kill a bystander. It’s sad that the religion of guns has trumped every other option in the US.
