This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think you probably know what I mean by gun culture. by LondonDomer
And of course it’s not the standard gun owner. But America’s fascination and obsession with guns, even the guys as WB says below with the Yeti cooler and a $3500 AR, is absolutely unique to America. No where else in the world is like that even countries with very high rates of gun ownership. It would be very weird for a Swiss man to pull out his new AR15 at a dinner party and show his friends. That shit happens all the time in American suburbs. Now do I think Joe the accountant with his AR is a danger? No. But the gun culture around him needing a semi auto weapon with a 20 round mag is weird.
