Dear Alice K 47,
I know this sounds crazy, but I think I’m in love. Yes, it was just one night, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the Union County Gun Show last Friday. Alice, baby, you are the most gorgeous semi-automatic gas-operated 7.62x39mm assault rifle in the entire world, let alone the wide world of fuckin’ awesome firearms.
Sure, I was woozy after guzzling seventeen ice-cold Schlitzes at the Funky Bumpkins Saloon when I asked Dale the arms dealer to roll out his wares. And suddenly there YOU were, resting between a Bushmaster M4-type Carbine and a Remington Model 522 Viper…a totally fuckin’ badass rose between two totally fuckin’ badass thorns. My heart stopped beating for a split second. (Of course, that could just be my stupid overactive thyroid, but anyway…) I knew the instant Dale placed you in my hands—after asking me if I was drunk and had proper ID, to which I answered, respectively, “not very”, and “does the fishing license on my hat count?”—and I cradled your cold steel butt and smooth, smooth bolt assist mechanism, that I wanted to blow the living shit out of something, anything, with you one warm sunny day.
Rush Limbaugh in lederhosen! Just thinking about that moment again causes my palms to sweat. (Of course, that could just be my stupid hyperhidrosis, but anyway…)
I’m convinced it was pure Manifest Destiny that intervened when Dale let me pawn my Make America Great Again camouflage fanny-pack- and-police-baton combo to whisk you away from the Bentleyville Fire Hall for one glorious night. I’ll never forget the libido that pulsed through my patriotic loins as I hauled you like a cocked, locked and loaded newlywed back to my doublewide for a Schlitz nightcap.
What happened between us all alone, without the Putin-financed NSA peeking around the corner, was sheer ‘Murican magic. The way I slooowly removed your barrel jacket…How I geeently stroked your charging handle…When I teeenderly fingered your ejection port. I leaned in to deep throat your sight housing but nudged your trigger in the heat of passion and shot half my goddamn ear to smithereens. Ronald Reagan in a rickshaw, our forefathers probably creamed in their graves! Who knew your safety was off. Mmm…that’s so fuckin’ hot! As I scrambled to McGyver myself a makeshift tourniquet to keep two gallons of blood from spraying out my earhole all I could imagine was running off with you to a shotgun wedding. (Ha, Ha. See what I did there, honey gunny.) But seriously, after the bleeding finally stopped and you’d shot your precious load, I pushed aside the empty bags of Cheese Curls and laid you on the futon beside my Glenn Beck Fathead wall decal, wrapped you in the quilt personally knitted by Chuck Norris, and quietly whispered the Second Amendment in your piping-hot greased barrel.
Two days later my mounting passion for you, like my right to keep and bear arms, shall NOT be infringed.
I’ve been sitting here, alone, in my 1994 Chevy S-10 pickup, listening to Godsmack deep-cut ballads and Clint Eastwood Reads The Old Testament, and thinking about you. All I got is my memories, and a permanently disfigured earlobe. Like the gunshot residue, I can’t get you out of my head. I’m possessed by thoughts of our possible future. Imagine, Alice…long walks on a beautiful beach and mowing down a majestic flock of seagulls…just because. Sneaking you into Arby’s on a 5-for-5 deal day in case some shifty bugger tries a lil’ funny business and we indiscriminately spray several rounds of metal peacekeeping darts all up in his shit and save other clientele from potential harm. Hiking through the park and stopping to instruct the children on the merry-go-round how to properly defend themselves when the government inevitably attempts to overtake the Upside Doodle Playground with their Boeing AH-64 Apache attack choppers and laser-guided bombs. Can’t take no teeter-totters from us, Obama.
Shit, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is you and me, Sugar Nozzle.
I miss you. I need you. The last few days without you have been torturous. I feel so vulnerable right now, like any ol’ Allah-lovin’ rapist gardener can piss on my freedom without knowing I can pump their shriveled nuts full of lead. Every single night that passes without you resting in my warm alive hands will slowly kill me anyway. What good am I with cold dead hands? Who will defend the G.I. Jesus statue or Sean Hannity nativity scene on the county courthouse lawn from the atheist lib-turd dingle-fuckers? Who, Alice? Not me. At least not without you.
I love you. Let me help you help me help myself by helping you in turn helping me to help America by virtue of making myself great again.
Be great with me, Alice K 47. Bang! Bang!
