hunter's JournalGun fetishes must be denormalized as drunk driving or smoking in the workplace were.
That begins with spouses and lovers, parents and children, friends and community.
We must empower people to reject gun fetishes.
"Honey we love you, but it's us or the guns..."
"No, you don't get to see the grandchildren until you get rid of the guns..."
"Guns. Eeeeewwwww. Bad date. Blocked number."
"Dude, that's fucked up..."
Three-quarters of us can't be bothered to own gun. Most gun owners have one or two they don't think about much, the guns are locked up and come to think of it they haven't been hunting with uncle Joe and the cousins for a few years now. Forty year old guys who wouldn't buy a gun porn magazine at the liquor store any sooner than they'd buy a "just eighteen" porn magazine.
Most new guns are sold to the fetishists, just as most beer is sold to the alcoholics. That's the problem population, that's the gun culture that psychopaths are attracted to, those are the people who keep guns carelessly for burglars to steal or sell their guns to sketchy buyers who let them trickle down into the illegal gun trade.
Gun love is disgusting.
I'm fine with calling them gun fetishists.
Three quarters of us can't be bothered with owning a gun. Most gun owners have one or two locked away somewhere and don't think about them much. Most of us with family hunting traditions can't be bothered to hunt even when we have easy access to the necessary tools. (Frankly I'd rather go to Disneyland. If I'm visiting the forest I'll bring a camera, not a gun.)
The gun industry sells most new guns and ammunition to the fetishists, just as the alcohol industry sells most of its booze to alcoholics, something close to 90% of it.
Gun fetishes are disgusting and a public health hazard. We have to empower family, friends, and community to reject gun fetishes, just as drunk driving and smoking in the workplace were rejected.
The first sign that anybody might be a little "off" is that they want to buy guns for anything other than utilitarian purposes.
Gun fetishes need to be denormalized.
Gun love is disgusting. I have no trouble saying that.
Gun fetishists have much in common with the folks who defend cigarette smoking and drunk driving.
There's no reason to be polite.
The second amendment is bullshit. It has no place in the 21st century.
It's directly comparable to the Three-Fifths Clause of the United States Constitution.
