The below is from a group e-mail I sent out to my little group of "gunnies"...
I was listening to the Armed America Radio podcast the other day and they were ROTFL (as was I) about an Atlanta TV station that went “underground” to visit various stores in search of “gun porn”!
The fellow at AAR seemed to have never heard of the term, but I’ve seen it used on gun forums and the ‘Net.
I guess the TV folks just don’t get satire (or continue to show how clueless they really are).
Gun porn is a term used (owned by the gun community) to describe gun magazines etc. - the term is used satirically, often as an inside joke in order to make fun of folks that don’t have a clue when it comes to firearms, SD, 2nd Amendment, etc.
It appears the folks at CBS46 in Atlanta took the bait!
If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you’d swear this story was ripped straight from The Onion…
VIDEO AT 11!

Don’t forget – as gun owners you’ve often been lumped in with sexual predators (we’re notified if a sexual predator moves to our neighborhood, so why should we not be notified when a gun owner does so?), have been called ammosexuals, and are often accused of trying to overcompensate for one’s lack of manhood (wonder how they describe women with that one?) by owning firearms.
As Massad Ayoob likes to say…
If carrying a firearm was my way for compensating for my manhood, I can assure you I would not be carrying a snub-nosed revolver…
