You've come to the wrong place if that's your goal.

Be informed and upset, or uninformed and blissful, but you can't have both unfortunately.

Incorrect, there are quite a lot of folks who are uninformed and very upset about the things they know nothing about.

I buy, build, modify and sell firearms. I figure it's only a matter of time until I am pulled over by a SWAT team because my tail light is out.

Hard to pull me over if I can't afford to leave the house.
