This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

and gun culture weren't such a black hole of awfulness.

I wouldn't let things like this dissuade you though. I try not to let a culture/fanbase/annoying people that I don't like convince me that something's not worth getting into. I know lots of guitar junkies with attitudes I can't stand, but that doesn't make me like guitar any less. If gun enthusiasts are awful, then oh well! go on with your matthewsmanship!
