At the 145th National Rifle Association annual meetings and exhibits, you could see and purchase replica flintlock muskets like the kind Daniel Boone used, “wardrobe” handguns the size of a cellphone, a carriage-mounted 1883 Gatling gun, historic firearms from the Renaissance down through the latest Surge, bullet-splat jewelry, deep-concealment holsters, triple barrel shotguns, and camo everything – coolers, flasks, four-wheelers, deer blinds, infant-wear and sexy-time lingerie.
Mingling with a crowd striking for its nearly uniform whiteness, I did lapse into a kind of fugue state from time to time, a retail trance brought on by sheer sensory overload, but with all this American ingenuity and weirdness on display, actual boredom was out of the question. Old people and those less old but morbidly obese trundled about on motorized scooters, their baskets filled to the brim with corporate swag

You can feel the smugness.
Boone must have been able to stalk remarkably close even by the standards of his day.

This is the tripe fed to the gullible in Eurabia.
The US has saved Europe three times in the last 100 year, from Nationism, Fascism and Communism. Now they face Islam (again) and the post -Christian elites sneer at the rube Americans bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles.
I bet they’re not laughing in 10 years. They’ll be pleading for help and reminding us about our “share heritage”, etc.
Pathetically predictable.
“Mall Of Death”?
Gee, mister writer person, hyperbole much?

The Contempt just OOZES off the screen at The Guardian!
Well they are so upper crust don’t you know. Stoopid ‘muricans thinking a gun will save them.
How many people died in the mall of death?

I don’t think we’ll be saving France and Germany, I think we’ll be fighting them again. Same as it ever was. US and the Brits and the Russians with help from the Canadians and the Aussies are going to have to do the job again. It’s very clear to me now. Churchill said something once about how nobody ever recognizes a menace until it threatens to devour civilization and then it becomes incumbent on men to rise up like in days of old and face the onslaught, with no certainty of victory. I wish I could find that quote, haven’t been able to.
On the other hand we may have to fight Canada and Mexico, but I think the Canadians will come in on our side. Probably most of central America will line up with the Mexicans.

Where as I see it as the Mall of Freedom and Liberty.
Is this dude related to that Kuntzman fellow?
This meme actually works to our benefit.
Hoplophobes are likely to stay away.
Self sufficient good citizen types are more likely to come and stay.
I promise that I will NEVER use my firearms to defend a liberal from an assault.
Period.
Insert racist slur here:
a crowd striking for its nearly uniform whiteness
Note to author, most firearms are black so it evens out.
Love it or leave it.
The galactic level mega-hypocrite Fountain resides in the super rich and super white
neighborhood of Preston Hollow in North Dallas. Residents include
George Bush, Ross Perot, T. Boone Pickens, Mark Cuban, Roger Staubach, a bunch of rich athletes and a whole host of rich Rats.
Two faced buffons like Fountain make one want to puke.
PS, his man-love of a drunken pansy like Hunter Thompson is truly
laughable.
PPS, Preston Hollow used to have a requirement that estates could only
be sold to whites.
Wonder how the author would feel walking into the Arms museums in London or Vienna.
