That's nice but what the hell is a gun nut? A crazed individual with a gun? An insane gun owner? An unstable gun owner? A crazy person that owns firearms? Are you meaning to say that you're a gun nut?
I don't understand why some people do it. That really shows us in a good light for all to see. I've said it before and I'll say it again. A gun owner, a gun enthusiast, a gun collector, a gun hobbiest...? Yes. I'm all of these. I'M NOT A GUN NUT!!!! You can be a gun nut but keep it to yourself. That is a term best used by the antis to describe gun owners. We don't need fellow gun owners imparting the term on us! There is nothing flattering, cute, nice, endearing, cool or complimentary about the term to a gun owner. It seems to be the fad today for supposed fellow firearms owners to refer to our group in this negative manner especially in this day and age. We have enough enemies and negative publicity.
