Honestly I think this thread should be NSFW or NSFS. Opening up a website filled with guns will raise people's suspicions in liberal states.

none of them but in reality all of them, because all guns scare the people who came up with the term "assault weapon" and any weapon that scares them is an assault weapon...

So if they are all the same what's the attraction in making #1 look like #3?

I thought they were just tools. I don't stick a bunch of extra crap on my hammer and paint it black.

A car is a tool, but people stick spoilers, decals, tinting, and all sorts of bling on them. I know of plenty of other tools that get blinged out as well. Just depends on the person and what they like to personalize.

A car is not just a tool. It can be a tool to some people but it certainly isn't to the people that you're describing.

If a car isn't just a tool then what is it? A family member? An outside pet?

I said a car can be a tool.

A device to serve a purpose.

Once you start sticking spoilers on and hours polishing and tuning its no longer really just a tool. (Unless you happen to be in formula 1 or similar)

Tell you what, go look up what fetishise means.

they're fucking hammers dude...

Hammer as a tool = device for banging nails in kept in a toolbox.

Hammer lovingly modded with extras and painted black, polished daily and practiced with daily. Kept on wooden rack in lounge and photos posted on various websites starting debate about minutiae of usage and semanics is no longer just a tool.

uhm, yeah it's still a tool, the owner just really cares about his/her tool...
