Projection - attributing one’s own unacknowledged feelings to others; includes severe prejudice, severe jealousy, hypervigilance to external danger, and “injustice collecting”. (remember that projection is a primitive form of paranoia, so it is common in today’s world)
Not just a reaction to your own ignorant arrogance then?

Actually my point was that the system failed. Every day we see posts of stories here where the Government failed in some manner in what would appear to be a simple thing. We here grouse all day about how the Government does it’s job and then we are willing to turn over gun rights just because the NRA says it is OK? Not this cowboy.
As a side note in many states you can be committed by relatives on very little evidence. In many it only takes a cop and a judge to send you in for “psych hold”. The system is completely broken.
I have a very good employee who served in the Army for 15 years. A family member was killed in the first Gulf War, on the way to the funeral his wife, son and both his parents were killed in an accident - more than any human should have to take. He checked himself into the psych ward at the VA and stayed for two weeks to get his head on straight. He now has a psych record. One of the most level headed guys I have ever known and I trust him with fortune and my life. He could have his gun rights denied and then have to go to court to fix it - how is that fair?
I have told my Congress critter and my “good” Senator that this is unacceptable on numerous occasions.
