...to disparage gun-owners. IMO, the insult carries little weight without the alliterative use of &quot ho)mosexual" which carries with it a history of negative connotations, despite its almost technical-sounding detachment. I have brought this up before when people use the "ammosexual" expression. Lord knows, there is a lot of PenisTalk© we put up with in the Gungeon, but the "ammosexual" expression crosses the line into a grafted-on prejudice and hatred.
