The failing NASCAR (to use whozit’s favorite phrase for the New York Times)** seems to have decided that big scary ads for AR-15s and AK-47s are alienating the few people left at their races, and the gunnies is pissed, man. Sandwiched between images of huge tits and dead-eye snipers, this editorial is way steamed about NASCAR’s sudden rejection of assault rifle ads this racing season – and if you put this together with Beto’s thing and the letter all them corporate leaders sent to the Senate, things are looking a bit on the shitty side for those who like to pretend they are part of the Tet offensive.
** NASCAR’s failing cuz it’s boring when no one dies. (“Pretty soon there will be 50mph speed limiters, mandatory turn signal usage, and spring loaded bounce bumpers. NASCAR has become a joke.”)

“…things are looking a bit on the shitty side for those who like to pretend they are part of the Tet offensive.”
Good point. The national ethos is pioneer/wild west/everyone for himself with guns to purtekt the fambly from the gurvmint while saluting the flag and country right or wrong at every opportunity. Also wearing team apparel expecting that the coach will pull one in through the screen to save the big game.
All that baggage will only fit in a split-level head and we’re seeing that there are a lot of those out there. Unfortunately the medicaments can be worse than the disease.
No illusions that the gun situation will change let alone stay changed though.
