The gun nuts do go craaaazzzzzy. Then they get Alzheimer's and die. We've had hunters in our family goin back to the 1800-s but they've never been gun nuts like the ones today. Anyway today's gun nuts are always good for a laugh. We've known a few of the neo-gun nuts. They seem to be very insecure with no life and very much like to push people around. So if it makes them happy being a gun nutcake so be it. Guns aren't goin away in this country. Gun nuts and right-wing religious nutcases go hand in hand and they're not goin away either. They get their kicks thinkin they are savin the world by filling everyone's heads with their paranoia and hate. Man that's a world we don't want to be in that they're savin us from.

Some Nut wrote that the Clintons helped smuggle AK-47's into the country. So does that mean Gun Nuts now like the Clintons, as I have never known a true Gun Nut who said, we already have too many guns, send them back.

Yeah ...
Knew this lassie once, very early on when I was in the USN, who hailed from Georgia.
Myself being the properly raised laddie, would never attempt to raise the issue of certain improprieties in public.
Well, not a few times in the past, the other guys had raised the matter of 'Georgia Peaches,' and myself being none the wiser, took that to mean 'the fruit of the tree,' having heard only a part of the conversation.
Well, said lassie and I got to joking around about things one day, and I asked her if she would show me her peaches (I was asking about the edible fruit!), and she quipped: I'll show you mine if you show me yours!!
:-))
Well of course, I caught the drift that ~that~ remark, blushed a deep red, and everybody else took to a good laugh at my expense!!

Wow. Could you be any more biased and dishonest in this piece? Nice try at getting your anti-gun bias across with a little skewed and dishonest reporting. Next time, talk to a real gun collector.

The word "ass" comes to mind after reading your headline and story. Even gun collector finds gun nuts scary! Oh my! Sounds dangerous!
The only sentence with "gun nut" in your entire story is, "Gun nuts scare me, especially the cold-dead-hand types." Perhaps you can explain just what or whom this 63 year old idiot is talking about? The article fails to define "gun nut" and I'm guessing not even Leo knows what "cold-dead-hand-types " means.
I want to congratulate John Bogert for a achieving in writing what only one other man has ever achieved in any profession. That man Is Jerry Sienfeld. The achievement is writing about and getting paid for NOTHING.

Post #59 {The truth on guns}
Via Jack Burton
Jack has posted many times that he is ONLY on the Guns Topix to "correct" statistics that he thinks are wrong about Australia crime and gun rates.
Now... there was nothing on this thread about Australia, stats, or Jack for that matter...
Yet... here he is...popping up on a thread that only has to do with America and the American right to keep and bear arms.
As you all read Jack's posts please keep the following in mind...
1) Jack is a liar
2) Jack has admitted in the past to looking for specifically bad information to post about America without regard as to whether or not it is true.
3) On dozens of other topics Jack has been proven over and over to be flat out factually WRONG about the stuff he posts.
4) If Jack doesn't like you he'll take something else another poster wrote and just accuse YOU of writing it without any shame on his part.
5) Jack tells us that he knows all about American gun laws but he thinks it is legal to kill a 15 yr old kid strolling onto your porch and picking up a newspaper.
6) Jack admitted that he doesn't actually bother to read posts before responding to them, but calls everyone answering his own posts "liars" anyway.
7) If you ask Jack an actual question he'll claim you're just a "playground bully" for putting him on the spot.
8) He is constantly trying to post bogus statistics about gun control but his math skills are so weak that he also constantly makes tremendous errors in his posting -- such as claiming that 100 feet and 100 yards were the same thing, that 10,000 and 100,000 equaled one another, and that 100 feet had 12,000 inches in it.
9) Jack declares all American-Topix gun owners are part of the KKK even though HE is the one who would deny every black person the right to carry a gun, and WE are the ones who believe that everyone should have the right to self defense with the most effective tool.
10) He's never been quite the same poster that he used to be since he was forced into admitting that if the Aussie legislature voted by a 51/49 percent margin that all Aussies had to turn ALL their guns into the government by three days he would be in line the next day with all his firearms to turn in like a good little boy.
11) Like the Ghurkas of old India, Jack has posted that every time a gun in drawn in self defense there MUST be blood flowing ~before~ it can be reholstered.
12) Jack insists that he is an expert on American government but he believes there is no difference in America between a "state" and a "federal park." They are one and the same. He also thinks that a "brief" before the Supreme Court is an "order" telling the Court how to rule in a case.
13) AND, my all time favorite: Jack has posted that he thinks armadillos are sea creatures who live underwater like lobsters.
In other words... don't take Jack seriously...we all consider him and his posts pretty funny jokes.
