Shouldn't it read "Whom are you?"

Nope. Who is the subject. You is the predicate noun. But whom is only used as a direct object. You can say, "to whom shall I give the gun?" (hint: give it to me). Thank you. I needed another one.

Actually I believe "you" is the subject as questions often invert the subject verb order. That leaves "who" as the predicate nominative (sp?). "Who" is correct. Whom would only serve as a direct object, and indirect object, or the object of a preposition.

Okay, I am getting ridiculous, and what is worse, it is possible that I may be wrong. Oh well!:eek:

By the way, I am...a bit of a geek. What you couldn't tell?

You are probably right. :D

I am Sam.

Sam I am.

I am a rock.

A rock am I.

Any way you slice it, whom doesn't work.

And, to make this post gun-related:

I am he to whom another gun is due.
