I don't know how many times I've heard some gun control advocate try to attack my...manhood, simply because I support the right to keep and bear arms. They seem to think that we're so insecure that making fun of our junk is going to not just change our minds, but will somehow convince others of the righteousness of their cause.
Meanwhile, we make a joke out of how fixated they are on our genitals.
It's especially true because a lot of women are gun owners, and none of them have suggested it's a surrogate for genitals they don't possess.
But a website called The Poke, which features some absolutely moronic takes on guns--I've talked about them before--seems to think it's a rhetorical win.
The headline for this "piece" is: "An American gun lover shares his bed with his favourite weapons and this woman’s bulletproof comeback was a proper hall of famer."
Is it, though? Let's look at what was said:
Terrible news from the US over the weekend where at least four people were killed and eight others injured after a gunman opened fire at a Mormon church in Michigan and then set the building on fire.
The terrifying incident put the issue of gun control at the top of the news agenda again (don’t expect it to stay there for long, obviously) and was presumably one reason why this classic comeback from back in the day went viral all over again.

No, it's not. It's dumb.
How does anyone think this is a rhetorical win?
They think this actually accomplishes something?
I mean, they're blaming an object that they admit is inanimate for every vile incident that takes place on American soil, and yet they also think that it's a substitute for sufficiency downstairs?
Never mind that there was an actual study that found dudes who own guns are more likely to be confident in what they've got downstairs. I guess the party of science doesn't really pay that much attention to science.
Years ago, Massad Ayoob said something about how if a gun was really a phallic substitute, no dude would own a firearm with a three-inch barrel. That was, to me, the ultimate shutdown to this entire line of "thinking," but unfortunately, some people are too mentally disabled to recognize that their little comments like this aren't clever. They're stupid.
And, honestly, a little worrying.
The only person who needs to be concerned with what's going on in that region of my body is my wife. Not some random people on the internet who seem to think they know about the physical attributes of an individual based on an opinion that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
But, as fantasy author Larry Correia has quipped, they're right. My junk won't sling a 124-grain projectile over 1,000 feet per second.
Making jokes about gun owners' genitals isn't a win. It's proof that the anti-gun side is so devoid of arguments that they're reduced to trying to make personal insults in a way they seem to believe we'll really be upset about, and maybe just go away.
At least we don't have to take a survey of our feelings that day to figure out which bathroom to use.
