Violence and sex sells everything. Welcome to the human race.

"Gunners," along with everyone else, can see, say and watch most anything they so choose, particularly as it may concern constitutional rights.

Nevertheless, your sexual ideation concerning firearms and their owners is most unusual and quite disturbing, but provides a window into your thinking, not other people who support firearm rights. Similarly, I don't believe I've ever even seen you post in a thread without mentioning George Zimmerman. You should know that most adults manage to live their lives without obsessing over over insignificant individuals we don't even personally know, no less find reasons to attribute all things we perceive as bad at their feet. Do you ever wonder why your strategies and tactics haven't actually led to more gun control?
