I agree 100% with the people taking objection to the firearm portion of this.

And for what it’s worth a gun is a firearm, NOT a weapon, until it is used as such.

A. This is not an accurate Ven diagram, as detailed earlier.
B. I own a gun, a flying saucer and a rabid pet and I am not a conspiracy theorist, redneck, or Michael Jackson. Actually I just own a firearm. I have it for home protection and target practice and I don’t think that makes me a racist, no-nothing hillbilly.

You’d think that will all those crop circles out there, at least 5 in the world rednecks actually own a flying saucer.

Why does everyone always assume that people that own weapons (especially guns) have to be crazy backwoods hillbillies? I live in Missouri, so it’s a little bit country, but I am by no means a redneck. People have no idea just how theraputic it is to go to a target range and squeeze off a few rounds from a handgun.

This diagram doesn’t make sense as a Venn! An overlap means that something belongs to both categories. How can a firearm be also a rabid pet? How can a home-made saucer be a pet?

The person who designed this has no idea how a Venn works.

This would work if the main categories were Things crazy rednecks own, things alien conspiracy theorists own and things Michael Jackson owned. At the overlaps we’d for instance have firearms for conspiracy theorists. Or flying saucers for Michael and the alien conspiracy theorits.

I love it! Given that the kid allegedly launched the balloon this is all true(although it now sounds like it was a publicity hungry family prank). Not that I want to paint everyone from Colorado as rednecks given that Telluride is amazing and people from Alabama and Texas would get angry but altitude less oxygen equals bad ideas!
