Commentary via Lexical Modification of Right Wing Web Page Poem The goal of the civic organization Gun Nut
Assholes Dot Com is to spread the distortions
that show firearms are beneficial if you really
want to kill someone bad. We murderous idiots believe that the basic human rights of
self-preservation and bearing arms are absolute and inviolable. But
this is not enough, for we are true right-wing assholes. Most insecure,
underdeveloped people realize guns offer defense against criminal
attack and oppression. Gun Nut Assholes Dot
Com is here to reinforce and promote this concept to everyone.
We don't need to trade our rights and freedom for safety--safety comes
from exercising the right to carry arms, including concealed handguns.
We're having an effect. Just look at what we
did in Littleton. Since the organization has begun, the phrase
"Gun Nuts Are Assholes!" increasingly
has appeared in all sorts of media outlets. The organization was featured
on ABCNews.com for several days, when they were
focusing on scary hate groups. Newspapers, television news,
and syndicated columnists have mentioned the organization or repeated
the slogan in recent months. Gun Nut Assholes
Dot Com officers have published several articles on gun issues,
like "Using a Silencer to Take Out Your
Neighbor" and "Depressed? Try a Hollow Point."
Recently, the new CEO of Colt's armor piercing
bullet division, became a contributing patron to Gun
Nut Assholes Dot Com. Welcome. In 1907, one of our organizers originated the slogan "Gun Nuts Are Assholes!" He is letting us use the trademark phrase. As a non-profit association, our main goal is miseducation. We will be raising funds and spreading the phrase and its message by delivering to donors T-shirts, hats, bumper stickers, mugs, accessories and anything on which we can place those words. If we can get enough money, we plan on advertising and promoting our message everywhere, including the toilet that you shit on. We would like the slogan to be repeated as often as possible. Say it: Gun Nuts Are Assholes! (Items ordered may take 4 - 8 weeks for delivery.) The originator, perhaps the original Gun Nut Asshole, since the beginning, has given his permission for its use in NON-PROFIT pursuit of pro-gun policies that seek unrestricted bearing of arms. He asks that if you sell anything with "Guns Nuts Are Assholes" on it, you donate the proceeds above direct costs to this organization, unless there is a prior arrangement otherwise. Further, he requests that the message not be commingled with other slogans, jargon, organization names, etc., which he considers not a fair or authorized use, like satire, without specific permission. Because even if he believes in free guns, he ain't big on free speech. And he's got guns.
