I am not even ready to hypothesize causes, but I suspect it has something to do with the confluence of foreign wars, movies about foreign wars, Whitelash since the Civil Rights Act, attacks by "the Muslims," immigration, and some smart political marketing--all grafted on to the already ingrained self-reliance and readiness to posse up.

I think it has much to do with fear and polarization. I'm sure you listened to the NRA spokespeople, like Dana Loesch et al. Listening to them is outright scary. Believing what they have to say means believing in a civil war-like surrounding.

Forgidve me for not addressing the rest. I find little valuable to add.
