…. Yeah man, I focus on Nazi because that’s what’s mentioned in the post lmao
And the post focuses on it because of the abundance of Nazi war trophies, due to how recent and how massive the conflict was. This shouldn't be difficult to understand, but too many people go looking for reasons to shoehorn something into their preconceived notions rather than actually attempting to understand it.
… I think you might be overthinking things a bit man. Gun stores have a lot of Nazi merch. A lot of people in the US are literal Nazis who buy nazi merch. Many Nazis get their nazi things from gun stores. It’s a funny joke.
Are you like… a ‘collector’ yourself or similar? You seem oddly invested in making sure everyone knows that not every single person who owns something with a swastika on it is racist, when I think that’s implicitly known
My explanation is a direct line between professional soldiers taking trophies from the Nazis they killed and gun stores having a fair stock of Nazi war trophies for sale. You're the one attempting to imply extra information.
