ATLANTA (CBS46) - The next time you are in a grocery or convenience store, check out the magazine aisle. As CBS46 investigative reporter Karyn Greer found out, gun porn appears to be more popular than travel and cooking magazines and in plain sight of impressionable children.
Sexually explicit and tabloid magazines are kept on the top shelves of stores to keep them out of sight of precious young children, but gun magazines are in plain sight and easy reach for anyone to grab and take a peek.
"It just proliferates the spread of guns and glamourizes guns and everything that goes along with it," said Glenn Sutton.
Gun porn is described as photos of guns that display them in the same carefully posed and lighted manner as the models in traditional pornography. The magazines include glossy covers with sexy young women armed and ready to shoot.
"For some people this may be gun porn...but I think it's their right," said Genarlo Lawhorn.
CBS46 went undercover to Publix, Kroger and Walmart to find the magazines. In one Publix, we found 15 gun magazines, more than travel, cooking and beauty magazines, at eye level, easily accessible to young children. A Dr. Seuss display was directly in front of rifle and gun magazines.
We contacted the stores to get the policy on gun magazines with no response.
Are you freaking serious? This is journalism?
Amazingly there are still those that think putting liberals in cages is a bad idea.
What’s even worse is the pornography of Liberalism which is flagrantly displayed in such tawdry publications as the New York Times, Time magazine and The New Republic. It’s scandalous stuff which surely leads our young ones down a dangerous path, and yet many stores openly display this trash. It just needs to be banned, and the publishers arrested.
“Oh man oh man, look at the barrel of that gun.”
Nice pair of 45s.
Have they looked at all the automobile and motorcycle magazines?
More of the cultural effort to make guns into the new SMOKING:
Dirty, shameful.
I don’t like smoking, but behold the shunned, shivering clutch of smokers 20 meters away from the building of their place of work, and you can now see where The Left will have us in 10 years.
They will have us as dirty, suspicious people boxed in, tighter and tighter.
Guns = the new smoking
Be aware, and warn your shooting friends.
Yup, kids are taking those magazines into their bathrooms and doing God knows what with them. Probably gettin’ gun oil all over the place.
At some time you think you have identified the most stupid progressive in the world and damn if another one comes along and out-stupids them!!!
Well, they have a point. When I see “Guns and Ammo” in the supermarket checkout lane, I always cover it with a copy of Cosmopolitan, to protect young eyes.
Gang banging promoted as glamorous by rappers is a far greater cause of gun deaths than hunting / fishing magazines.
I know porn. Gun porn is 5 rds in a 5 inch circle at 5 meters in 5 seconds.
Oh, so NOW the young children are precious.
A few years prior, these same filthy libs would be celebrating the murder of these children by abortion.
Gun porn?? The anti-American propaganda department deserves a prize for that one, ha ha ha. ( If there were Really truly any good porn, I can assure you the kids would have found it by now. However, there are about two dozen firearms magazines at the grocery and not a single kid is to be found drooling over any of them. Ergo, no porn. Case closed. This article is pure BS. Ps: Sorry about that, it sounds like a promising idea....ha!)
I believe the man who came up with the term “GUN PORN” was an anti-gun social commentator back in the late 1970s.
The name Jeff Greenburg, Greenbloom, Greenfield, Green-somthing or other comes to mind.
Yep. I fully expect in the near future one will have to be 18 or older to purchase a gun magazine.
Include TV and movies in that group too.
What they do not realize, is that by demonizing it, the young will seek it out.
