“Desert Storm atmosphere.”

[phantom power]

A "Desert Storm atmosphere?" The fact that these fucknuts think a goddamned war is something to be emulated for family entertainment says everything you need to know about how fucked up America's relationship to guns has become.

Sprawling across more than 30 acres in the Mojave desert 26 miles from Vegas, Bullets and Burgers advertises itself as an “Outdoor Machine Gun Adventure” with a “Desert Storm atmosphere.” “Our guests have the opportunity to fire a wide range of fully automatic machine guns and specialty weapons,” the Web site says. “At our range, you can shoot FULL auto on our machine guns. … Let ‘em Rip!”

The shooting range’s Web site says the minimum age for the “ground adventure” is 8, and children ages 8 to 17 “must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian at all times.”

1. In other parts of the world, war is the stuff of nightmares

In the United States, it's family fun time! Bring the kiddies down for a chance to experience the Desert Storm atmosphere of our Outdoor Machine Gun Adventure! Let 'em rip.

And then we have the brass to get all upset over a video of some guy getting his head cut off. Those barbarians!
