“Gun Culture USA” – as seen from the eyes of a loony liberal.
Someone should explain to that guy that paintball
gunsmarkers are not actually firearms nor do a lot of paintball players even own gunsI’m a little disappointed at the choice of pictures. They have pictures of people at a paintball field, but nothing from an IDPA or USPSA match, and nothing from something like say, a high power match or sporting clays competition. It seems kind of half assed to do a photo piece on “gun culture” and almost completely leave out competitive shooting.
Good point Sam, still even this half-assed attempt has got to sting a liberal rag like Time.
We’re winning!
On a similar note a nurse at the hospital the other day told us in unrelated and unprompted conversation that she had a Mass Firearms permit.
Maybe no big deal in Maine, New Hampshire, Texas, or Florida…but in Massachusetts it was a sure-fire sign that we’re winning BIG.
What is the deal with calling toy guns (for kids) a part of the gun culture?
We called it being a kid.
And I agree with John Ross (Unintended Consequences) that I am part of the gun culture and that the gun culture is a good thing.
When I played in paint ball tournaments, we would chastise one another if you referred to your marker as a gun. Also, most of the paint ball players I knew did own guns, lots of them actually.
It may be a hit or miss type thing, and perhaps my comment was a little overly simplistic. I just meant that just because someone is a regular paintball player it does not really pigeon hole them into being a gun nut.
On the one hand, all my shooting buddies do play paintball with me pretty regularly, but I do know a great many who play and would never own a firearm in their life….. They are not anti gun by any means, but they are just not gun folk.
Megan must be really good with that pistol, a couple of elk, deer,a pheasant, etc.
White people with guns, OMG SCARY SNIPER, think of the children!!!!, “dress up soldiers,” and dead animals galore. Not to mention the gun store owner missing a finger.
No, this wasn’t slanted at all…
What an odd selection of pictures for something called “Gun Culture USA.”
