A "man" and his guns

This poor Klingon/Human hybrid is all over the internets for some reason. I assume some websites found his sincerely posted pictures and ran with the comedy - folks, remember, anything you do or say on the internets is forever.

This fellow is about as clear an example as you can get in photographic terms of a man defining his masculinity by the accumulation of weapons. I'd hazard to guess that 70% of the gun nuts in America are really cowardly fools worried about their penis sizes, or some other abstract masculine worry. 15% are probably psychopaths, leaving 15% of reasonable, responsible people who own guns. Prove me wrong!

It's the old "projection" giveaway: Anyone trying so hard (yet so pitifully) to look or act tough is no doubt terrified on the inside - of everything, really. To cope with this fear, a delusional world is created, filled with guns and macho heroics and USA! USA! kicking ass with laser guided bombs blowin' the shit out of someone I DON'T CARE ABOUT!!!. Etc.... In the end, though, they're just scared little boys who will never grow up.

Pop-psych 101, sure. But it's true! And this is practical, actionable insight! Use it wisely.

that guy really needs a job....that's at least the 4th picture of him doing very odd things.

Yeah, this guy's everywhere. In his defense though, it looks like all these pictures came from the same unfortunate evening he though it would be a good idea to strip down to his undies and show the world what he's got. Which ain't much!

Glad to see you back veralynn!

nice to be back :)
had to go to the rally and work the election and a wedding in the family....I have only been sleeping and working....I am getting back in the groove. And now I am enjoying Jon Stewart on Rachel Maddow. :)

Stewart and Maddow are two of the only voices of reason left on the air these days. Thus, I imagine they won't be on much longer, especially Maddow. Enjoy them while you can!

Most gun owners are a complete opposite of what you stated, being large earners, who have this also as a livelihood and would show you the error of your ways. you posting a picture like that to defend your weak statement proves an elitist weak minded liberal, with sincere and wide lack of societal norms who knows not of which he squeaks(meant).

You speak to "Gun Owners". I was talking about "Gun Nuts". There's a difference.

I agree that most gun owners are responsible, law abiding folk. Gun NUTS, on the other hand, are usually crazy in some way or another and use guns as an expression of that mental state.
