Gun nuts - Hunker down, draw the shades

[packman]

Only a few days left before that black man comes to take away your guns.

[HoneyBadger]

1. Gun nuts is such an negative term

Why not say pro gunners?

[SecularMotion]

3. Would you prefer ammosexual?

Pro gunner is a misnomer. Pro maim or kill would be more accurate.

[MicaelS]

15. What is with you Gun Prohibitionist's

Obsession with the sexuality of gun owners? You sound like a nasty closeted homophobe who is outwardly terrified some gay man is going to rape him in the restroom.

[SecularMotion]

16. Are you taking ammosexual as an insult because it sounds similar to homosexual?

You're missing the point. The connotation of the term "ammosexual" is one who is sexually attracted to ammo & guns.

5. Because folks who believe that Obama was going to take their guns away are nuts

One can like collecting guns, like using them in a lawful manner, and support the right to keep and bear arms without being a lunatic.

Folks who think that the President would send the military in to confiscate their guns are nuts. Period.

[forthemiddle]

18. Maybe not use the military

But is there any question that if Obama had a more friendly Congress and Senate that he would have made gun laws much more onerous?

[n2doc]

19. Dems controlled Congress 08-10

And didn't pass 'onerous' gun laws. So yes, there is a big question, in fact, it falls under a RW fantasy.

[forthemiddle]

20. That was before Sandyhook

And before many of the other tragedies
I think those events profoundly changed President Obamas outlook, and he would have pushed for more Australian style laws if he could have.
Those events scarred and haunted him more than anything else in his Presidency.

[bluecollar2]

27. yes....

[Hoyt]

8. Why do we need to sanitize a term for people whose sick hobby -- and often ideological

leanings -- are a blight on society?

[HoneyBadger]

10. Because it is divisive

[Hoyt]

11. So are peoples' affinity for, and promotion of, guns and all negative connotations that go with it.

Maybe you should reconsider your position on guns.

[SecularMotion]

17. Do you have a problem with liberals rejecting RW gun culture?

[MyNameGoesHere]

9. "Sorry" your feelings got hurt.

I prefer gun nutz.

[shockey80]

2. I am pro gun.

I have never once in my life thought the government was going to take all are guns away. I hate the NRA leadership. They are all about money. They are liars.I believe the american people are incredibly stupid when it comes to gun laws. We license are dogs and don't license are guns. In the age of terrorism you can still by a gun without a background check at gun shows.The reason so many people are getting killed by guns is because we are stupid when it comes to gun control.

[TrekLuver]

4. Fear Sells

[ileus]

6. You'd think they'd realize guns kill people.

[Hoyt]

12. Why else would you guys buy them?

[sammythecat]

13. Yep. You got it.

17 years ago I bought a pistol so I could kill people. My father had 2 rifles and a shotgun. He died when I was 8 so we never got to talk about it, but i suppose he wanted to kill people too. I mean, why else?

[Hoyt]

14. I think most people who carry a pistol in public are just another George Zimmerman or Michael Dunn

waiting to happen. If your dad had a couple of RIFLES for hunting and/or kept them at home, he was nothing like today's white wing gun fanciers.

[sammythecat]

22. I have a thing about tailgaters.

I live in a rural area and drive about 30 miles every day to and from work. In my experience 90%, at the least, of drivers will tailgate. If they're a quarter mile behind me, they speed up until their stupid face is in my rearview mirror. I pull over, they go around, and then catch up to the next car half a mile ahead and then hang on his ass. I drive a little faster than the limit but that's irrelevant. No matter what the speed, they want to get close for some dumbass reason. Tailgating is not only annoying as hell, it's dangerous and illegal. Are you a tailgater? Maybe you don't even drive, I have no idea. My point is that without any knowledge I shouldn't make any assumptions about how you drive. I said I have a pistol. Unless you were just making a PSA, your first sentence sure seemed to imply that I carry it around. I don't.

33. I buy mine to save lives, family fun, hunting...

Never bought a gun designed for killing, but that's just me YMMV.

[Rex]

7. They've lost their minds, hate radio turned them into Hate Zombies.

Waiting for something that will never happen.

[cwydro]

21. Lol. I've seen recent DU threads about getting armed.

All kinds here bragging about how they carry and won't hesitate to shoot trumpers.

Hypocrisy on this site never ceases to astound.

[Skittles]

24. there are tons of gun humpers on DU

they make me SICK

[cwydro]

28. Well, the threads to which I was referring

were not by any known gun-humpers.

They seem to be new converts.

[Skittles]

32. that's one of the goals of fascism

turn people into sniveling cowards

[Skittles]

23. they are such fucking cowards

[Different Drummer]

25. The sad thing is, there really are people like the guy in the comic. n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. Gun nuts are ok. But, Trump has taken the joy out of peanuts. nt

[Devil Child]

29. I never once worried that Obama would take my guns

Too bad he's not starting a third term. All of my "weapons of mass destruction" and "penis compensators" sat secure and snug in the safe during Obama's presidency.

[hack89]

30. Obama was good for gun owners

RW authoritarians are the ones that take away rights. Progressives work to extend individual rights.

[HassleCat]

31. I am a gun nut.

I own several, mostly handguns, and I load my own ammo. I do realize Obama is not going to confiscate my guns, send me to a FEMA camp, etc. In fact, such measures are more likely on the next four years.

[aikoaiko]

34. You laugh, but gun nuts won the day on preventing federal restrictions to gun ownership
