    Among serious gun nuts, the Punisher thing is scoffed at. It’s a sign the person displaying that bullshit is borderline childish.

      Indeed. There’s a big fucking difference between “firearms as an interest/hobby” and “firearms as an identity.”

      As someone who claims the former, but not the latter, people of the latter usually piss me off.

        If someone brought a friend to our camp to shoot and they came with Punisher shit on their guns or gear, or god-for-fucking bid, Spartan shit, I wouldn’t take my eyes off them for a second. Something about it screams, “My gun is an accessory, not a weapon.”

          lol yes

          That and the idiots that slap those gun decals with something like ‘we believe in the 2A’ or some dumb shit on their trucks. Which is basically just slapping a ‘free guns—break glass’ sticker on their vehicle.
