"Paranoia is responsible for thousands of gun deaths...."

Link please.
No link, just logic. There are about 330 million guns in this country, many millions of them bought by people for security, ie they are afraid for their safety, ie paranoia.

Establishing conditions so as to be protected, or reducing the likelihood of danger, risk, injury, or other types of harm is an act performed for personal security and safety, not paranoia.

Your claim is not even close to being logical, in fact it looks very deranged. Your projection of paranoia on to right wingers seems to be taking a toll on your mental well being. We all know you are a retired old sot living on retirement and the govt dole in a secure community; it would be to your benefit to lighten up with regards to others who take responsibility for their own security.

Considering the odds of you being a victim of gun violence as a gun owner is 3 times that of someone who doesn't own one, I'd say you are correct.
