It’s not surprising that the sycophantic lapdog of a wanna be terrorist dictator would emulate the trappings of a real life one. This gem, made by the gun factory owned by the son of the Moonies founder, which incidentally also owns the Washington Times, was commissioned by Sebastian Gorka. He and his hero appear on the handgrip of this monstrosity. Oh well. Eye of the beholder, and all that.
If you have forgotten Saddam’s favorite trophy piece, voila.
You and I laugh now, but if you see a copy of this rifle, except with Trump’s face on it, in Christmas catalogues in a few months, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This is exactly the kind of treasure that a wingnut would want to show off with in a MAGA clubhouse, you know the places where they show Trump on the cross and Madonna Melania? If that wretched image escapes your recollection, here.
Again, eye of the beholder. I wish Rod Serling was with us to do a Night Gallery episode on this, that’s all I can say.
It’s a cult alright.
It’s a real shame that guns and the second amendment have been perverted to this lunacy. I have known gun owners all my life. I grew up knowing people who hunted deer and later on met ranchers. I used to own a gun, a .357 magnum, which I took to Beverly Hills Gun Club and shot for sport. They had moving targets there and I liked the hand eye coordination challenges of hitting the targets. The guy who taught me how to shoot was a retired L.A.P.D. detective and very laid back. There were no crazies in that gun club back in the day, I can tell you that. What it is today, I don’t know. But in the 90’s it was a mellow pastime and we all observed the laws and regulations, put our guns in our trunk, unloaded, you name it.
I see nothing of this mentality in today’s gun culture and it makes the sad. And what has happened to the NRA is unbelievable. I also was a member of the NRA for many years. I was given a gift membership back in the day and it was a lot like the Kiwanis Club, it was a civic group devoted to good things such as gun safety. They put out different periodicals on hunting and marksmanship and again, back in the day, there was none of this crazy macho stuff. This was long before Wayne LaPierre.
I am stunned at what guns have become.
Every time I see that ridiculous painting of Trump I can’t help but think he hates it. For one thing, having “Melanie” at his feet in a business outfit wouldn’t meet his approval. Only Ivanka with a “barely there” covering of some sort would do! But what really has to piss him off is the artist’s strategic use of the American flag for modesty. If you look at the way the thing is done it’s twisted to its smallest proportions (to a pretty tiny covering!) right over his “junk” and it’s easily enough to cover Trump’s!
I can easily imagine Trump’s rage: “What the hell? That TINY bit of cloth? It would take a WHOLE flag to cover my junk! YUGE! The bigliest flag ever made!” and so on.
As for Gorka’s “Golden Gun” two things come to mind. First is that the character with that moniker in the Bond movie got himself killed by Bond. Second, Gorka doesn’t appear to have learned his lessons properly. If Trump commissioned such a gun it would be shiny gold! That dull color of gold simply wouldn’t cut it with Trump. It’s fun to think of Gorka trying to impress Trump by handing it over as a gift and having Trump throw it back at him with a “What the hell is this dull ass piece of junk?”
When my brother was in Iraq he had his picture taken with that golden gun. He was a Chaplain in the Air Guard. Good Republican. However, after coming home from that war he has admitted the war was wrong.
Gorka really needs a golden gun? Maybe it helps him get girls. Don’t know much about the little Nazi. I had a very fine Remington 550 as a teenager. It didn’t help with the girls as much as my dad’s Mustang convertable. It was grabber orange which is sort of gold.
Engraving one’s own image on their firearm butt is a good way to become literally the butt of the joke.
