4. "Gun porn," really?
Sat Nov 7, 2015, 08:00 AM
Nov 2015

I'm curious why we don't see any articles and news stories complaining about the pervasive (and often unrealistic and without consequence) firearm violence in so many of our popular movies, television shows, and even music, particularly all the easily accessible magazines and other media that media glorify, publicize and promote such firearm violence, including clearly visible firearms. The dozens of mainstream entertainment and music magazines are far closer to anything that could ever be categorized as "gun porn" than any of the various, and far less numerous, hunting, sport, collectible or defense magazines on display.

Any pretense of "gun safety" by the usual gun control suspects has now been rendered totally and completely moot.

As always, the quest has been the elimination of purported "gun culture" (i.e., mostly rural and exurban culture and history, including hunting and firearm sport, focused on the South and Midwest), and the push-back will be unrelenting and politically disastrous for Democrats outside of some urban enclaves.

It's so very sad to see people who claim to be liberal and progressive acting like elitist, tyrannical, and repressive Puritans.
