Very confusing. If you're a gun owner, then what distinguishes you from the "gun nutters" who simply support the right for you to continue having your guns?
Seems like a fair question. I would answer that by saying that I am not a gun nutter BECAUSE I don't suffer from the several "fears" that gun nutters seem to suffer from;
For instance, I am not afraid that some one is coming to take my guns. ie take my "rights" away.
I am not afraid every time I leave the house that I have to be carrying a gun.
I practice very safe gun ownership. (not always the case with a gun nutter)
I condemn others who don't practice safe gun ownership. (they hate that. say shit happens when a kid gets killed)
I see no need to preach to others the attributes of gun ownership. Or condemn them if they don't "believe" in guns.
I believe some more restrictions on gun ownership makes sense.
I don't support the NRA anymore. ( I used to)
A true gun nutter can't make the claim that they believe ANY of what I just wrote. And there is the difference.
Beside that, the gun nutters do more to jeopardize my rights to a gun by refusing to be more responsible and understanding of the tragedies that guns can bring about. In other words, IF ALL legitimate gun owners would behave in a more responsible, understanding manner, be less obsessive about guns, that takes away a great deal of the AMMO that the real gun grabbers have to use against gun ownership. As well as reducing the needless deaths by gun.
Make any sense to you?
