Funny thing is, if you go to those links and look at the covers, you won't find a single scantily clad model, female or male. The one image the article tried to use to support their "porn" meme was a professional-looking woman in business attire aiming a gun while calling 9-1-1 (on the cover of a magazine that caters heavily to female gun owners), and the Duck Dynasty guys. Yes, the Duck Dynasty guys. If that is "porn" to you, then you need to get out more.
What's even more hilarious is that this TV station serves central fricking Georgia, where half or more of households likely own guns, meaning that half of this station's target market is pointing at their TV and howling with laughter, and the other half is scratching their heads and saying "they call that porn?"
Edited to add: The magazine in the second row, left, has a guy in a T-shirt on the cover. Second row, right, has a rifle with a flashlight on the cover. "Porn", indeed.

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!
