Ammosexuality

From Urban Dictionary:

A sexual fetish that finds pleasure in the power to kill dozens of people with the pull of a trigger. An ammosexual may understand the desire of other people to live, but feels all the greater pleasure in contemplating that he has the power to overcome that desire with his power. Ammosexuals are very protective of their fetish, and attack even the slightest gun safety measure on the grounds that they interfere with their pleasure.
Many ammosexuals practice the religion of gundamentalism or demand the invasion of weaker countries as a means of reaching wargasm. 

To best describe this phenomena that America is currently facing is what I would best describe as America emotionally and mentally decaying and/or returning to an immature state, as if American citizens are all becoming children. From FreakOutNation:

There is nothing more telling of the Open Carry groups in Texas than to have the National Rifle Association call them ‘weird’. In this one instance, I agree with the NRA and I’ll probably never be able to say that again. The NRA has a few other choice words to describe the groups’ narcissistic behavior while besieging restaurants with guns strapped to their backs. Some of the choice descriptions from the NRA of these groups includes, “downright foolishness”  “not neighborly” “counterproductive” “a lack of manners” and many more.

Wow. And it gets worse. The open carry, oh, I'll call them another type of "truther", carry around their weapons like as if they are members of the LGBT community at a pride parade. (My sincerest apologies to the LGBT community for comparing you all to these gun nuts) It's sick, disturbing and troubling how gun owners flaunt their weapons in public. For once, the NRA ACTUALLY makes sense.

Now we love AR-15s and AKs as much as anybody, and we know that these sorts of semiautomatic carbines are among the most popular, fastest selling firearms in America today.  Texas, independent-minded and liberty-loving place that it is, doesn't ban the carrying of loaded long guns in public, nor does it require a permit for this activity.  Yet some so-called firearm advocates seem determined to change this.
Recently, demonstrators have been showing up in various public places, including coffee shops and fast food restaurants, openly toting a variety of tactical long guns. Unlicensed open carry of handguns is legal in about half the U.S. states, and it is relatively common and uncontroversial in some places.  Yet while unlicensed open carry of long guns is also typically legal in most places, it is a rare sight to see someone sidle up next to you in line for lunch with a 7.62 rifle slung across his chest, much less a whole gaggle of folks descending on the same public venue with similar arms. 
Let's not mince words, not only is it rare, it's downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one's cause, it can be downright scary.  It makes folks who might normally be perfectly open-minded about firearms feel uncomfortable and question the motives of pro-gun advocates.
As a result of these hijinx, two popular fast food outlets have recently requested patrons to keep guns off the premises (more information can be found here and here).  In other words, the freedom and goodwill these businesses had previously extended to gun owners has been curtailed because of the actions of an attention-hungry few who thought only of themselves and not of those who might be affected by their behavior. To state the obvious, that's counterproductive for the gun owning community.

I've never applauded the NRA for anything. Well, now I am. And wait a sec??? I thought it was Chipotle who was...okay, that was AFTER the fact. That was May 19th. Chipotle's ban occurred later the same day. Guess where I'll go for lunch sometime in the future? I'm tempted to tweet Chipotle and let them know how much I appreciate their move towards modesty. And how about we move away from a society that embraces violence? Michael Moore is right on the money on the issue. And so was FDR: Americans are afraid of everything.

By the way: I did mention after all, here be dragons! I discuss ANYTHING, no matter HOW controversial.
