There are many merchandising attempts for goatse.cx around the web-- none of them are real, none of them are official. Do not buy this gimmick merchandise. The official goatse.cx merchandise is coming soon!

What about the right to keep and bear arms?

I'm not a democrat, but I'm certainly not a republican. That said, what in the hell do you need an assault rifle for? Most the anti-gun people are after the insane automatic high-power weapons. No one is saying you can't have a hunting rifle. Nor do I see a problem with having to register if you own a rifle or handgun. I have to register when I buy a car. Both have the power to kill.

I have never seen a valid argument for this gun nut crap.

I rather doubt he's marry one of those vapid pageant ho's either, but I also doubt that he'd pull some dude out of a car, put a tire around his head and set it on fire.
