Is this what you had in mind?

How much ya' charging for a 4'x6' placard?

<"life is hard enough knowing there are men out there who don't sit cross-legged.

I'll never understand how these sissy men can sit with their legs crossed over the knee like a girl can do it. I tried it one time just to see and it actually hurt to do it.

In short, he is a man begging for subjugation. He longs for its promise of equality in helplessness. Because only when that strange, independent alpha breed of male is helpless along with him will he feel adequate. Indeed, his freedom lies in this other man's containment.

Either that, or he's just pretending to be anti-gun so he can go to the meetings/rallys and pick up clueless, gullible women.

The difficult position is sitting cross legged on the ground. It took me a while to learn how to do that so I can score better in the rapid sitting position in High Power Rifle. After I learned how, I have been scoring 98's out of 100.

Bleagh. Nuts to that. I'd rather find me an SAS babe. :)

I realize it's a disgusting idea, but not nearly as disgusting as the thought that these guys might actually be died-in-the-wool, Koolaid drinking gun grabbers. Just trying to look on the bright side.

BUMP!

Men who are afraid of guns are Nancy-boys.

Compensating for not being born with legs fast enough to out-run a bullet. I'd rather fight than 'swish.'

The Anti-Gun Male

A long-cogitated thought...

I only saw the movie Deliverance recently. For a long time I had heard about it, and was puzzled at the viceral terror expressed by many men who have seen it. Somehow it seemed the one true horror film for men. Just mention the title, or sing a few a few notes from Deuling Banjos, and watch swaggering officemates shudder in abject fear.

I finally rented & watched it. Yes, it is disturbing - deeply so to the male psyche. But I noticed a difference between myself, the pro-gun male, and the anti-gun males: seems they identified themselves with the buggery victims, helpless and humiliated...while I identified with the Redford character and his "just shoot the b@st@ards" attitude.

Though "gun nuts" may often be maligned by the anti-gun males, 'tis interesting to note the different reactions to Deliverance. Which would you rather be, or want around, when predators pick you? Anti-gun "call 911"? or "front sight, press"?
