Gunz are like prescription medicine. More & worse side effects than the cure they offer!
A gun commercial:
Tired of burgalarz making off with your stuff after tying you up and raping you? (video uv police taking a report from a desheveld crying woman)
The new Glock 21 is a self defense solution suitable for many circumstances and situations, such as bad neighborhood rezidence, suburban home invasion, car jacking, bank robbery, etc. 13 roundz uv effective stopping power, with reload in 1.3 secondz.(video uv same woman in nice clothez, hairdo, smiling, walking in a picturesque park with her huzband and 2 little children. A gun in a holster, so comfortable and unobtrusive looking on her hip, continuez for the rest uv the commercial)
Gun ownership haz been associated with higher rates of domestic quarrelz escalating to shooting injuries and deaths. Temporary thoughts uv suicide are more readily acted upon if you own a gun. Accidental shootings, including self injury/death are greater than zero when a gun is prezent. Burgalarz are not garanteed to be defeated becauze you own a gun. Firing a gun without hearing protection, especially indoors, will permanently damage your hearing including possibly complete deafness. Gunz are often stolen by burgalarz. Glock strongly recommendz that you keep your gun with you when leaving your rezidence unattended. Having a gun duz not protect you from being shot, it only givez you the ability to shoot back if you are still alive.
You can feel safe again. Ask your gun dealer if the Glock 21 iz rite for you.

Hello,
First of all, it has been made about me. This stereotype isn't "Out there." It's in the minds of people like Mal. She is utterly incapable of dealing with me or any gun owner except through the lens of that stereotype.
MAL... I'm a gun owner, would you deal with me the same way you would deal with Tony?

I think its no bad thing to talk about stereotypes and do some reflection on how much they impact on your behaviour and I mean that for both men and women.
I think the thing about advertising and use of stereotypes is that they do seep into your subconscious, so that in the end as a woman you can get suckered into to a whole lot image issues that can end up in you buying stuff.
So I might get my hair and nails done and go on some latest fad diet. I know that I'm not trying to please any man, cause my man is happy with me before all that stuff, but part of me is still caught up in prevalent stereotypes of what it means to be a woman. What a woman should look like...
Don't know if I am making myself clear, but I guess I think the conversation about men/manliness and guns is worth having.
What Mal said. Anthony, for me this isn't about you, and I agree with Mal...we've discussed stereotypes for women, but I guess discussing them for men isn't kosher when it comes to guns. I'm not "desperate" about anything--I still think you're getting over-emotional about this--I saw the article on CNN and still think it is a viable subject for conversation. I had no intention of discussing it further, I just saw the article and thought it was a valid one. Nothing more. As far as I'm concerned, it ceased being about you a while back--in fact it was never about you, it was about what someone said and the rejection of the stereotype. I can think of at least one other person here who, in my estimation, it IS about, but there's no talking to him, or anyone else apparently, so fine.

If you read your posts, they are pretty much on Anthony's side or defending Anthony, and telling someone to leave him alone on top of that kind of indicates you have a side. JMHO.
I did that because the penis thing was wrong, and kiki calling Anthony authoritarian was wrong - just as Frem calling you liars and hypocrites was wrong.
I've been stepping in where I have seen insults. It may not be necessary, people can defend themselves but I can at least try to help keep this civil.
With this penis gun stereotype, ask yourself if you think it applies to any of the people here. If you don't believe it applies, then it does not add to the discussion and there is no need to defend it. Not any more than conversations about the stereotype that Muslims are violent - how is this different?
Big men/small men are inherently violent and guns are an extension of that? That's like saying guns and car bombs are an inherent part of Muslim culture. It's not about finding advertisements that depict the stereotype, it's about rejecting the stereotype wholesale for a saner society.

This whole discussion is so disturbing. People carry around the ugliest damn thoughts and refuse to let 'em go.
Okay, look, you may think the stereotype is "valid," but imagining that Anthony stands naked with his gun in the mirror "stroking" it is fucking sick. It's completely grotesque. And, seriously, that "stereotype" is bullshit. How many men does anyone here imagine literally do this with the mirror? What percentage of gun owning men and then what percentage of men over all. Hardly any, okay? That's not a stereotype. Any more than a thousand different misogynistic fantasies are "stereotypes" about women. Men buying fancy sports cars to "compensate" for their "endowments" is a stereotype. A guy making love to his gun in the mirror is psychopathological.
It's disgusting to any sane person. It's the enormously offensive accusation that's been leveled at Anthony and not a single person has apologized to him for going there. All we get is, You're over reacting! You're over reacting! You're over reacting! Gee, I wonder if any women reading this thread have heard THAT ONE before??? No one who opposes Anthony's stance on gun control has even suggested that it was "too far." Only that the "stereotype" is "real." Doubly insulting. So, around here at least, opposition to unrestricted gun ownership comes bundled with hatred of men, complete dismissal of their feelings and ugly presumptions of their sexuality. Good to know, I guess.
I don't think some folks see how ugly and personal that attack was, which is fascinating in itself. It's dehumanizing. And, of course, suggests to any sane participant in this debate that there is absolutely nothing to be gained by even discussing this issue further except more insult, and more dehumanization. So amazing to me when otherwise thoroughly decent people become vicious and unkind without even knowing it.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
