He often accuses men with guns of "compensating for something."

you're only compensating for something if you're carrying a BFR or a raging bull as your daily carry gun.

it's just that in America we don't need to have them in our Home

And where exactly should they be? The garage would be a long way to go if someone broke in. The home is the best place for guns. Guns require responsibility in more ways than one. First owning a gun means your the first line of defense for your family and home. But owning a gun also means your responsible for its safe keeping, meaning that anywhere other than your home is unsafe. Unless of course your in an area that having another one also in the garage or barn is warranted.

Working in liberal New York City I run across this sort of 'male' all the time. Nice guys, but almost like women. Men need to be men; not 'males'.

". It's one thing to not be comfortable with a firearm and therefore opt to not keep or bear one."

I disagree here. In order to exercise one's right to keep and bear arms, one must actually keep and bear arms. I know in some locales it's difficult. Carrying in NJ (unless you're blowing a judge) is damn near impossible.

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.

The small-souled, neutered Left in a nutshell.

He's a lover, not a fighter.

The only person this type of male loves intensely is himself. He plans on living forever and fears anything that has the power to end his existence.

Evern notice how we try and make four letter words for things we try to get people to hate?

Guns is the perfect example. We no longer call them pistols or rifles or weapons as they denote a tool or a word deserving respect now those that hate them call them four letter words.

Irresponsible photographer or photoshopped image. Even if the rounds were added to the pic, he's breaking the rule of pointing the weapon.

But, perhaps the camera was set up on a tripod.

Special exception should be made for *really* big guys.

I have a Marine friend who's 6'6", 290, no body fat. Anything less than a Desert Eagle or BFR looks like a child's toy in his hands. He's big enough to conceal a BFR, too.

The unasked and unanswered question is this: to whom does your life belong? To answer that your life belongs to you is to admit to all of the consequences and corollaries of that decision. This is what the moral modgets and craven cowards on the Left fear: personal responsibility and everything that comes with it.

Any other answer to that question opens the gates of hell.

and the kid in the picture has his trigger finger outside the trigger guard. I'm also assuming that the safety is on.

he's breaking the rule of pointing the weapon.

Primary rule: His finger is not on the trigger.

Man, I certainly hope the photographer was smart enough to photoshop those hollowpoints in. Otherwise, that photograph shows the worst irresponsibility toward gun safety in many ways.

Pointed at a target not intending to kill.
Finger on the trigger
A gun big enough to knock junior flat on his butt for starters

Sorry, I stand corrected, finger not on trigger. Bad photo anyway though.
