I recently was at a friends house and he has a really cool silver ring with a small semiautomatic gun shaped charm where the stone should be and I wanted it really bad (see image below). But I am wondering why? Why are we so infatuated with Guns? As American’s we feature guns, alot, in our movies, television, literature, and now even our fashion, graphic design, and interiors. This kind of baffles me because I’m not exactly a big gun fan, yet I keep finding myself drawn to the style that comes from being a gun slinger.

Some of our greatest movie icons have been filmed using a gun in one film or another. John Wayne is pretty much a poster boy for the NRA. I guess I was raised with the stigma that “Guns Kill” and now I find myself more and more attracted to the shape, color, and style of the gun rather than the actual use. (I also have a brother-in-law who is a cop and feel that if there is going to be a gun in the house while I am babysitting shouldn’t I know how to use it?)
