That is, in the spirit in which it was intended. It's really more of a meta joke about the gun debate as a whole.

definitely makes you a nut. And civil conversations are impossible with gun nuts who will not acknowledge reality. There! Solved that sticky problem for you, dearie.

unless I agree with you 100%I am a gun nut? Like I said I'd rather be a gun nut then a control freak.

because they want to protect their freedoms to make choices about their own bodies?

I know, I know - the only people some trust with guns are the military, cops, and rich old white men who can afford to hire security with guns and everyone else in the US is a potential terrorist/killer.

But some of us don't let what the few do dictate to the many.

I don't own a gun - but I do have a horse in the race. It is called freedom to choose and make choices that affect me and my life without other people trying to tell me how to live because of their fears/religion/beliefs.

And when dialogue on issues becomes 'go fuck yourself' well...we have lost the ability to intelligently discuss core issues (like what causes people to hurt others - poverty, mental issues, alcohol, hate, etc).

But those are hard issues and I realize not all are able to talk about them as adults. So let's just call each other nuts instead.

a domestic house cat "in a physically aggressive / agitated state" could make a tough guy/gun freak think twice about his toughness. Or, at least make his sensitive parts wish they hadn't come across the 'working end' of a feline's claws (weapons). Others might not get what I mean, but I think this is great on several levels.
