There are a fairly limited number of excuses and reasons that Elmers will try to convince normal people of as to why he -- Elmer -- has to have as many high powered assault weapons, handguns, et al. that he can get his hands on. The real reason is his sexual dysfunction which he attempts to alleviage by -- in effect -- purchasing and using a high-powered penis in the form of firearms which grant Elmers with sexual problems a way to pretend he's sexually powerful and "manly."

Among the most salient -- and among the most numerous -- claims, excuses, and outrageous notions that the typical gun nut Elmer Fudd will advance are:

• I need these high powered rifles and hand guns for hunting to provide food on the table. I mean yeah, there's got to be deer, bear, elk, elephant, hippos, and other good things to eat some where out here even though I've never seen one and wouldn't know what to do with them after I killed them, but I need these guns and I need to take to the hills every year to shoot at rocks to put meat on the table anyway.

• I need these guns to protect America, the Constitution, freedom, and the American way of life -- against the government, you know, because the first thing Adolf Hitler did after invading Poland was seize everyone's guns. I mean yeah, President George W. Bush who I support and defend totally and completely without thought has set aside the Constitution, our rights, freedoms, and liberties with his "USA PATRIOT Act," sure, but I need these guns to protect our way of life anyway.

• Guns are American! Yeah, the whole world is awash in guns, murder, and crimes committed by gun nuts, but guns are American! Some how.

• I need these guns because some day The Nigger or The Jew is going to make his move! and then it'll be God's white man against Satan's mud people. Sure, niggers, spics, and Jews have guns so they'll probably get me first while I'm shitting my pants but hey, they got guns so we gotta get 'em, too.

• I need these guns because there are invisible terrorists out there trying to kill me and my family because they hate freedom. I mean yeah, nobody's ever seen any of these invisible boogymen that our Fuhrer Bush keeps screaming bloody murder about, yeah, and true, I'm far more likely to die by rolling my SUV than I am by some vague, invisible, non-existant terroris, but you know they're all out there! They're everywhere! I need my guns to protect me from the invisible terrorists under my bed and in my closet!

Here's some typical gun nut extremist Elmers, every one of the Republicans and -- almost certainly -- quite a few of them wearing their wive's pink underwear -- while their wives are back at home wearing bruises.

They're out there patrolling the woods pretending to be safeguarding America's freedoms (our heros!) making sure no Mexicans, Commies, Hippies, Catholics, or Jews are hiding out in them woods planing the take over of the American Way of Life.

Across the United States we have these right-wing extremist gun nut Elmers prancing in the hills pretending they're a "militia," blowing up Federal builings and killing babies, shooting abortion-providing doctors from ambush like cowards, being protected by Christian Republican churches as they're on the run from Federal law enforcement officers.

Among the many things that motivate gun nut Elmers beyond the need to masturbate with firearms are:

• The Branch davidian Slaughter at Waco, Texas, committed in large part by the FBI, the BATF, and Janet Reno, a woman who believes that there are upwards of 300,000 babies being ritually birthed, murdered, and eaten in the United States every year. (Bizarre but true: Extremist Christian Janet Reno is a believer in the so-called "World-Wide Satanic Conspiracy" which is why she was a firm believer in the McMartin Preschool fiasco.)

• Ruby Ridge, committed in large part by the FBI and the BATF and Janet Reno.

In both cases the Federal law enforcement agencies and the U. S. Government in general were violating the law, committing felonies against innocent people, and completely in the wrong, acting like Nazi killers, using Nazi tactics and military weapons against citizens of the United States (which is what the Bush regime is doing today thanks to "USA PATRIOT Act" and other fascist Acts.

And because the U. S. Government has committed atrocities against its citizens in the past, gun nut Elmers think they have to acquire as many weapons, explosives, ammunition, and stockpiles of same as possible -- while at the same time ignoring the far greater destruction of American life and America's laws at the hands of the Bush fascist regime.

We mention all this here at the Stop Elmer Fudd web site because it must be pointed out that the U. S. Government motivates and eggs these gun nut Elmers along, giving them justifiable paranoia to go along with their race hatred and bigotry -- not to mention to go along with their sexual dysfunctions which motivates them to acquire firearms in the first place.

Here's a little bit of "freeway blogging" that's not only amusing, it's completely accurate and telling. We here at the Stop Elmer Fudd web site won't bother to delve into the statistics covering how much more likely someone is to be killed or maimed by his or her own firearm than by armed robbers or armed intruders -- but when a freeway sign puts into words the stupidity of gun nut Elmers so eloquently, it's got to be included here.

You have to wonder why gun nut Elmers are so willing to kill their own kids, and so willing to let their own kids kill each other with their firearms when these Elmers claim they need their guns to protect their kids.

But then they're Elmers: They have an IQ ranging anywhere from 70 to 80 or there abouts. There's no reason, no thought, no sanity to them. Because they derive dysfunctional sexual pleasure from owning and shooting firearms, having guns takes priority over all else, even the health, safety, and lives of their own children.

And this freeway blogging sign puts that fact into words so well that we just had to include it here on the Stop Elmer Fudd web site.
