"I am saddened and disappointed by the bigotry and hate speech I see on this page on a daily basis, by those who have held themselves out as champions of tolerance and diversity. I am an "ammosexual". Despite the false narrative presented by gunophobes, being ammosexual isn't a "choice"....I was BORN an ammosexual. I knew things were different, when I found myself attracted to guns at a young age. I didn't know what to do with these feelings inside me, but I knew I was different. Growing up, I had to endure bigotry and hatred by those who were misinformed afraid of guns. I learned you could hug a person with a deadly disease like HIV/AIDS, but an inanimate piece of metal was to be treated with abject fear and disgust. I was confused and scared. But then I learned to embrace my inner ammosexual. And over the years, I have seen the pendulum swing. We are now able to openly practice our hobby, without fear of persecution. We even march in parades. I have to thank the determination and strength of the other civil rights activists who paved the road for us. Its still an uphill battle, but we have come a long way. I can proudly stand today and proclaim "I AM AN AMMOSEXUAL". We continue to battle bullies like those on this page who taunt us with slurs and death threats. And they will dismiss this as satire, but it is far from that...its a statement that we will no longer be bullied by you. We have not only constitutionally protected rights, but HUMAN RIGHTS the same as you to be who we truly are, without fear of retribution. All we ask is that you accept us, as we accept all of you."
