TTAG and thefirearmblog.com are locked in editorial combat. We’re looking to overtake them as America’s most popular firearms-related blog. We’re getting close. Still, we respect TFB as our elder and, in many ways, our better. So when I saw this image on their pages, well, I was stunned. I thought Oleg Volk played it close to the wind. But this . . . this is obscene. I’m not speaking here of the unspeakable amount of ammo this would provide a spree killer. I refer to the image’s phallic connotations. Gun grabbers often accuse gun rights enthusiasts of “over-compensating.” This image will erect bigger barriers between us. So to speak.
