I have no racial prejudices against guns. I don’t care if they are pink, black, white, yellow or purple. I am prejudiced against rust and it cuts deep to see a gun owner intentionally rust up his rifle¹ !

tailo at AR-15 wanted a “battlefield pickup” look so he used bleach to rust it up.

Specifically the red oxide of iron, I know that blue is technically rust ;) ↩
