As Michael Moore said, "We are a nation of gun nuts." He could have just as easily said, "We are a nation of gun fetishists." For, as a nation, we have fulfilled the very definition of fetishism: we have transposed genital sexuality onto a non-sexual object—the gun. Obviously, there's a phallic element here somewhere, it's not exactly a giant leap for mankind to figure out what that shiny, steel shaft is supposed to be. The image of a scantily clad (or preferably not at all) hottie packin' heat broadcasts an interesting mix of messages. There's a definite vulnerability implied in a beautiful girl in nothing but a thong, teasing the camera. Contrast this (or compliment it) with the bravado brought about by bearing a Beretta, and you've got a powerfully arousing female archetype, kinda like an ass-kicking superheroine in sexy little bikini briefs (a la Wonder Woman).  It saddens me that, unlike when this fetish first cropped up a couple of years back, there doesn't seem to be many free sites where you can check out silicon-stuffed strumpets stripped to the skin, strapped and saucy. I guess you can say this about a lot of sex-related content on the 'net—free stuff used to roam wild and free online, like wild buffalo on the great plains. Also, many of the American sites you see try to play down the prurient nature of their content by espousing National Rifle Association-friendly Second Amendment propaganda. Of course, you can always do what I do, which is ignore that shit and check out the chicks.But you need look no further than American television for a gander at gorgeous gals 'n' guns. Pamela Anderson's recently defunct (though it will live an eternity in reruns) series VIP was a virtual showcase on the subject. Many a nerd has knuckled away a night watching Natalie Raitano blast the hell outta bad guys while never failing to show a healthy dollop of abs 'n' cleavage. How could there be a higher calling then watching a TV show based on women shooting their way out of treacherous (if ludicrous) situations. The greatest part of it is that you can enjoy it with the sound down and not miss a thing. Or this weekend you can head to The Shooting Gallery for The Gun Show. "From the invention of the gun in the 13th century to today, guns are works of art. From the overall shape and design to the decorative hilts and materials used. It’s not easy explaining to others how one could feel this way. But what I‘ve done is put together a show of over 20 artists with their own thoughts and ideas on the subject. Artists like Charles Krafft and his porcelain guns, Anthony Ausgang and The Pizz and their low brow point of view, Marco Almera and his Bond Girls, Winston Smith and his political collages, Lee Harvey Roswell and his antipropaganda machine, Sirron Norris and his racial statements, and the gun as work of art. This is not a glorification of death but rather a celebration of sculptural art."
