        First off, this reads like you're selling something.  DU2 used to have the "DU Marketplace" forum for this kind of stuff; I don't know if DU3 has it, but this Group is not a marketplace.
Second, the connotations of "ammosexual" are the same that the RW puts on "homosexual".  In fact, there are browser extensions that RWers can install that, when displaying a page, will automatically replace "gay" with "homosexual".
It is my belief that using this term feeds into the smearing, degrading tone that the homophobic use when they put so much verbal emphases "homosexual" in conversation, rather than making such language socially unacceptable and rare.  
Regards,
Krispos42, Group Host

        We are not overpaid. But I will ask the wider DU community about your assertion that we are.

        WTF? WHY are you promoting advertising which equates people who "fetishize about guns"

        Well honestly, I can't think of any that would qualify to wear a "Got Off The Couch" one anyway.

        So, is gun control is a deep seated urge to grab other people's phallic symbols?
