@ me — I’m not sure what you mean, do you think MO is being hypocritical? I dunno. I think that shooting guns is a lot of fun, and I love seeing women pose sexily with weapons (most especially if they look like they can use them). putting femininity and power and danger together is empowering for quite a few of us. but it is impossible to separate guns from gun violence, I’ll agree, and making a distinction is important, if tricky. but I don’t think anyone is being hypocritical here — unless I missed something? and yes, I know I picked a random gun photo for the image, but I saw Merrick’s recent set with firearms and have been wanting to feature her re-launched site for a couple days now, and thought this was a great opportunity to do so. thanks for the clarification on the gun!

so wait … using an ak-47 is booboo but posing with it is yummie? this is getting dangerously close to H-bomb territory. you know, hypocr… yeah, that word.

also: I don’t think the weapon in above picture is an ak47. the one in the youtube video clearly is but what you linked to above looks more like a HK MP5.

“The reason is that the AK-47 is more than just a rife.”

Agreed! I love my AK. The only thing I’d love more about this gun is if I owned a dozen.

I love Marina.

I can’t pinpoint one thing about her. The accent is fantastic but I’m a sucker for any accent. Especially yours violet, the audio books are awesome for that.
She gorgeous eyes, the kind of blue that you remember and then she’s so smart, nothing more attractive than intelligence raar. :P
I usually prefer darker haired women but it’s impossible not fall for the mistress of words.
