I think your being needlessly argumentative and stand-off'ish about the entire thing, to include your framing it as a "pump vs gun culture 2.0" issue. It's not; the two are not mutually exclusive. Plus, if you're posting stuff simply to garner a particular and expected negative reaction, I don't think that's particularly useful.
It's not specious, it's pointing out a logical fallacy through illustration. A logical fallacy which you've basically already admitted was simply to evoke a negative reaction.
