There was a time when firearms may have been more ubiquitous in American homes, but most of those were working tools of one form or another. Now, we seem to be experiencing a reproliferation of firearms. However, we're also living in a time where everything seems to become fetishized and made into some kind of lifestyle talisman. The average American also seems to be less mature, holding onto their childishness at an ever increasing rate. Consequently, firearms seem to be viewed as cool toys, or tactical fantasy fashion rather than the serious weapons they are. Firearms like this play into that trend, one that personally concerns me.
