"Gun nuts" is a phrase that is tossed around a lot by people wanting to severely curtail gun ownership in the United States. You have to ask, "What is a gun nut?" To me a gun nut is someone who has owned, trained, maintained firearms. In that I am a gun nut. I suppose when the gun control freaks talk about gun nuts they are referring to people who own hundreds of guns, millions of rounds of ammunition and carry a dozen or so on their persons. Kinda makes me think of Tackelberry from Police Academy. I hate to break it to those folks, but there are 10,000 people of my definition of gun nut to one person of the gun control freaks definition.
Who I am? I own a few guns. I've hunted for a great many years of my life; started from my pre-teens. I'm also a former police officer. I am also a veteran of the War in Iraq. There are literally thousands of people just like me. Have I ever threatened to shoot someone? Other than in a professional capacity I have never threatened anyone with a gun. So, I'm a gun nut.
You don't like me being a gun nut? Sorry, you can kiss my ass.
