ORIGINAL: meatcleaver Under the auspice of a mass murder, this thread is really gun porn and reading it really illustrates the poplarity of gun fetishism in America. The gun as penis extension, as love toy, an aphrodisiac, as man badge. Baudrillard would have had such fun deconstructing this, it's quite enlightening. Not just porn. You don't see the humour...? Pretty much the common view of the gun humpers in this thread is that more guns are the solution for America's gun violence. You know, armed guards in the schools now. And when the next massacre happens in a shopping mall, or a railway station, or on a bus...? You just know the magic pill for that, too, right? My favourite is the pretext of "home defense". Three cheers for the hallowed 2nd amendment n all. And for the conveniently ignored question; who are they defending their homes against? Blow me down if it isn't other Americans with the same right to bear arms. So then the challenge is to own more guns or "better" guns than some potential home invader...! The neighbour's idiot dog likes to chase its own tail. Poor mutt, he's a rank amateur to the comedy show of gun logic playing out on these boards. This 2nd amendment is the holy grail of perpetual motion - a self-sustaining entity - that can apparently only grow with each slaughter. Vintage & classic "only in America" - and thankyou Lord, for that. Focus.
