i'm a bit confused about the way in which this is an "issue"---i can easily imagine donning such gear as part of a travis bickle ritual that enframes going out in a blaze of blah blah blah and little else.
it seems like a straw man, both out there and---particularly---in the bizarre-o characterisation of the (real? imaginary?) Persecuting Other that you imagine wants to take away all your toys and reduce you to a less than manly state of manly man-ness.
do you have any examples of such arguments actually being advanced by anyone?
