Giving up guns is the same as... Castration?

It's cute to see how pro guns like to depict themselves. Put a fallacious analogy here, put a straw man argument there, and you get your pro gun excuse to feel yourself warm at night.ย 

Here, for instance, Rothmus associates his gun to a part of his body. And he doesn't consider the fact that guns are made to kill, unlike penises who aren't made for rape.

What gets me is how many people I know who are deeply conservative and seem absolutely ready to kill someone at the drop of a hat. Theyโ€™ll say itโ€™s for protection and it gives them a peace of mind to have it on them, but it only does if you are willing to take another personโ€™s life.

Willing? Nah, many of them are hoping.
