I've tried that. There's really not much out there. Regarding trying to understand why, I think it's something like cultural differences. Despite being born here, and raised by British parents, I am the only Pro-Gun, pro-self

No... but I'm not sure what to do about it I spoke with a therapist, but it hasn't helped me much; he basically admitted he didn't know what to suggest. Maybe I'm weird, and need to find the right therapist, which is wha
