"I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a woman holding a handgun." Says husband after photo of his wife is rejected by People magazine.

An Illinois couple is questioning People magazine's decision to reject a photo they sent in for a contest.

"I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a woman holding a handgun," Bob Ferris said.

Those feelings are the reason why one day last summer, when's Bob's wife Sandra came home from church looking especially fetching, he grabbed his camera and his .45-caliber Colt and started taking photos.

"That was my husband's idea," Sandra Ferris said.

So was entering the picture he took in a contest called "Real Beauty at Every Age", sponsored by People magazine.

"It just so happens that the photo I liked the best has her holding a .45 automatic. I didn't think they'd reject the photo," Bob Ferris said.

"Bob's wife Sandra came home from church looking especially fetching, he grabbed his camera and his .45-caliber Colt and started taking photos." There is literally so many things wrong with that sentence that I almost don't know where to start.

Bob then sent in another picture of his wife, also holding a gun and it too was rejected.

Bob sent in a third photo, this one sans firearms, and it was accepted.

This, to Bob, meant that was an attack on his rights.

You know, the "right to take a picture of your wife holding a handgun and having it accepted by a magazine for a beauty contest." I believe it is listed right after the amendment stating that "you CAN teach Creationism in public schools," and that "Christianity is America's official government sponsored religion."

You know amendments that only Right Wingers can see.

Of course most of us recognize that not everybody in America believes that happiness is a warm gun, or that holding a .45 caliber handgun makes a woman all that more attractive.

These people are gun fetishists and they need to recognize that they represent a small segment of the population, just like the BDSM community and the Furries.

I would imagine that People magazine would have just as likely rejected a photo of a woman in full on bondage gear or dressed up like a giant panda bear.

This is not about the 2nd Amendment, and only the MOST extreme gun nut would think that it was.

And that is a statement that I cannot believe even needs to be made.
