These Modern Day Gun Fashionistas Think They Look Fabulous With Firearms!
by Richard Rowe
At
one time, guns were for the most part either tools of defense, tools of
assault or tools of sportsmanship. Of course, for far longer, monarchs
and the very wealthy have been commissioning guns engraved with delicate
murals of deer, duals and woodland scenes. The gilded firearms of the
Victorian era are even today considered works of art in their own right.
So, guns have had a long history of being both tools for firing
bullets, and tools for establishing status.
These
days, they still are. The difference is that in Gunland, where death is
cheap and life ends at the borders of standing one's ground, the gun as
a status symbol has become as much of a fashion statement as anything
else. A fashion statement that communicates status, not of wealth, but
of ideology. Open carry of guns today no longer say "I'm prepared," or
"I'm wealthy" -- they say "I hate the government, I hate Obama, I hate, I
hate, I hate...and I'm scared."
Perhaps
no weapon communicates that message quite like what fear-biters like to
call "the scary, black guns." Scary black guns are exactly what they
sound like -- guns designed to look tactical, military, to exude an
essence of superiority and intimidation. They're forged steel voter
suppression devices, delivering a very certain message:
"I'll kill you if I don't like you...and that's FABULOOUUSSSS!!!!"
Often
called the "Barbie doll of guns," the AR-15 has in recent years become
the fashion accessory of choice for the hateful and terrified, and
open-carry laws have allowed grown men to carry them around in shopping
malls, displaying them as any women might her latest Prada handbag. Of
course, unless you're a Chinese child working in a sweatshop, the sight
of a Prada bag won't usually inspire terror in passers-by. Which is
exactly the point of this particular fashion statement.
Conservatism
draws its strength from fear; where there is no fear, everyone becomes a
liberal. That's exactly what these people are most frightened of...and
they do love showing you their scary, black Prada purses to show it.
Maybe the solution here isn't to act frightened of these people;
clearly, they get off on it, as the comment under this first picture
proves. Perhaps the solution here isn't to protest that "you guys are
SCARY."
Taken at the Parkdale Mall, where police confiscated the weapon. Read the AATTP article on it here. Comment posted under this pic:
"No
jerk with a gun shot up the place. No jerk with a truck ran over any
girl scouts in the parking lot. Np jerk with a trench coat flashed any
old ladies. In fact nothing happened at all except some sheep
overreacted when the bull came thru the gate. The "penis extention"
(sic) wasn't the problem. Its just getting harder to find people with
any balls."
Spotted
walking down the streets of Houston. Note the horse on the left-hand
side of this picture; this is one of Houston's "Mounted Patrol" police
officers.
Taken
at the Serramonte Mall. Police were dispatched by scared onlookers, but
they determined he was in legal possession of the gun. The man was sent
along his way to parade his gun through the mall.
Snapped on a street in 2012, reportedly in California.
Idiot in Washington.
Take
note, fellas. If you're wearing your black gun to the front, make sure
to coordinate it with your scarf and hipster beard, as this Ohio man
did.
Taken near a farmer's market in Appleton, Wisconsin. Bomber jackets are still in style there.
Black goes with everything, especially a Starbucks double mocha Venti...
...and
Ron Paul T-shirts. Note the white shirts and board shorts on these two
gun fashionistas -- essential for drawing attention to your black
accessories.
Scary black, guns...fashion, American style.
NICE PURSE!
