I've noticed that the usual liberal fanatics have been using their thread titles to insult normal people
Curiosity Question for the Gun Nuts | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
What's ironic is that the pejoratives they use to try to denigrate others, apply far more appropriately to themselves. But they'll probably never get it.
A "gun nut" is someone who thinks silly and ridiculous things about guns, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Many people think that letting all law-abiding adults carry a gun will make criminals think twice about committing their crimes, even if most people don't bother carrying. Those people aren't "nuts". They are simply right.
But a few people feel that governments making more and more laws restricting law-abiding people, will somehow discourage the lawbreakers, muggers, and murderers whose victims are disarmed. Those people are demonstrably "nuts". How many times have we seen criminals, mass murderers etc. deliberately go into the liberals' "gun free zones" to steal things, assault people, and even commit mass murders, knowing they will have plenty of time to commit their crimes and rack up huge body counts before the police finally show up?
The term "gun nuts" usually DOES apply when the liberal fanatics use it. But it doesn't apply to the normal people who oppose govt regulation of guns. It applies to the liberal fanatics themselves, who hold such kooky and long-disproven opinions on the ability of govt to discourage lawbreakers by making more laws. Even laws that have already failed.
Now those people are "nuts".
About guns.
