Btimbit, captain, etc. All normal nut-free gun owners. I don’t know, “gun nut” means “gun nut” to me, not “average gun owner,” so I wasn’t sure why people got upset over the image. I don’t know many people who see a hunter bagging a deer and think “THURS A NUTTER!”
EDIT: I guess my question becomes: why do ordinary vanilla gun owners take any talk about “gun nuts” (their psychology, predispositions, etc) so personally and as an insult? Don’t you think you’re categorically different from that type of person?

I'm not sure Captain is a gun owner.
Either way, glad to see you're engaging with law abiding gun owners and finding out that they are normal people just like everyone else.
