Manufacturers, distributors, sellers, and enthusiasts are all marketing guns as cool, sexy, benign, necessary to your health, well-being, and identity. Full head-to-toe weapon accessories and attire are available to personalize your preferred target hunting experience.
Guns as answer to all things is a marketing gimmick based upon the lowest base emotions (fear and domination).

There is no 2nd amendment right to gun advertising. Regulate it.
