In reply to the discussion: Gun porn: Magazines found in easy access to kids [View all]Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)1. A media outlet actually wrote that?
Gun porn is described as photos of guns that display them in the same carefully posed and lighted manner as the models in traditional pornography.
Ummmm -- not to draw too fine a point but that's literally every staged photo to ever appear in any publication ever in the history of visual media.
Ever see a cooking magazine? Is this now food porn? Is my subscription to Mother Earth News peddling organic farming porn? (I'd ask about woodworking magazines and porn but I can already hear the giggling and snickering.)
It's creepy that everything controllers -- as controllers -- fixate on reduces to a sexual level. People who are sex obsessed and demand control of their targets are deeply disturbed and dangerous individuals.
"Why are you looking at him? You were talking to him weren't you? You're fucking him, aren't you? I need to know where you are, who you're seeing and what you're talking about. If you don't answer your phone when I call there's going to be trouble. I don't want you hanging out with them anymore...
"I love you," said every stalker, always.

Remember these are the folks that want cops to shoot first and citizens to attack gun owners.

Is it wrapped in plain brown paper? As the gun-worshipping porn that it is?

Just as we were getting into sexual stereotypes, a Maurice Chevalier refrain is heard!
