Actually, you should feel pity. If you haven't read this article already (it's posted on other threads), read this article about WHY these people are the way they are. Then, next time you confront one, tell them how sorry you feel for them for being afraid all the time. How it's unhealthy and how they should seek professional help. Especially with the irrational fear of inanimate objects. It's absolutely unhealthy. And a psychatrist says so. And then give them a copy of this article. And tell them, if they need help finding a good shrink, you would be happy to help them find one. Why, you would even go out of your way to drive them to their psychatrist's appointment.

Be understanding, tell them you feel their pain. They will absolutely have no idea how to respond to compassionate conservatism. Be kind. Offer to help them in their obvious time of need. And again, give them this article. Hey, you could make copies of just these three sentence summary.
If I were to summarize this article in three sentences, they would be:
(1) People who identify themselves as "victims" harbor excessive amounts of rage at other people, whom they perceive as "not victims."
(2) In order psychologically to deal with this rage, these "victims" utilize defense mechanisms that enable them to harm others in socially acceptable ways, without accepting responsibility or suffering guilt, and without having to give up their status as "victims."
(3) Gun owners are frequently the targets of professional victims because gun owners are willing and able to prevent their own victimization.
