Gun rights? Try gun pride: Display firearms machismo

There was a time when politicians professed their enthusiasm for gun rights by donning camouflage and hunting pheasants. Now, Republican presidential hopefuls campaign in active shooting ranges. They invite the media to watch them fire assault rifles or demolish the tax code with an AR-15. Or, as Cruz did in August, they wrap strips of raw bacon around the barrel of a machine gun to cook them with the heat of gunfire.

“Machine-gun bacon,” Cruz said in a video, taking a piece of meat off the gun to taste it. “Ha-ha, ha-ha.”

Republican politics have hardened from gun rights to gun pride, as candidates embrace and show off the more militaristic features of weaponry.

“If you’re a Republican candidate these days and can’t handle a firearm, all you can run for is the border,” said Mark McKinnon, a veteran GOP media strategist. “Republicans are all about being tough on crime, tough on terrorism and just plain tough.”

Why don't they perform these antics in their favorite places like Iraq, Iran and Syria along with their beard-wearing-buddies. Oh! I forgot they're called chickenhawks for nothing.

Firearm machismo is no different from the internet machismo we see from our resident limpdick here. It is a form of compensation to make up for inadequacies in the you-know-what department.

Given his alienation from the human race and frustration over his limp dick and dead-end job, I wouldn't be very surprised if Wanker-gaaru goes ape-shit one day and and turns up at his workplace with an automatic rifle and finally makes his mark in this world as America's first desi mass-shooter.

I watched the machine gun bacon video on YouTube. This guy is a leading presidential candidate!
