What similarities are you finding, Russell?
Here are some of the more relevant parts, you really should read the entire article. # Could it be that as you get farther out on the right, you find more people # whose boundaries are more rigid?

If you imagine that you live in # a world where an attack by Them is always imminent, defending those # boundaries becomes very important. # # That seems to be the world of gun-rights crowd lionizing Zimmerman. Their # cherished scenario is the defense of boundaries against those who are # clearly Not Us. They stand their ground and defend themselves, their # families, their houses and property, even their towns and communities. It # is a story they never tire of, repeated time after time in NRA publications. # Zimmerman is a hero because his story, in their view, embodies the narrative # of righteous slaughter.
