   If you ask a normal, healthy person to say what they think about students,   
   none would ever describe them as "potential victims".   
   That's because normal, healthy people approach such situations objectively -   
   from a position of objectivity   
   Objectivity is where you analyze a situation for what it is.   
      
   But if you ask someone who's mental health is such that they are afraid all   
   the time, they can't be objective.   
   Thus, they approach the situation from a position of cowardice.   
   That's why he sees students, and everyone else, as "potential victims".   
   It's not because of who they are, but rather because who he is - a craven   
   coward.   
      
   That's why Mainstream Americans don't really pay much attention to gun-nut   
   racists, gun-nut bigots, gun-nut nationalists and other gun-nut groups.   
   For all their hooting and hollering, gun-nuts are fundamentally, at their   
   core, craven cowards.
