He views guns as a substitute for a penis - then again, he never uses his

And now I'm certainly convinced. Your argument is a perfect example of why the controllers are making massive gun control inroads in every state.

Criminals and the criminally insane are why we have massacres. Your knowledge of criminology is severely lacking. The vast majority or those involved in gun mayhem have long histories of criminal behavior.

The fact that you broad-brush gun owners as "gun nutters" speaks volumes. But please keep it up -- as it's been backfiring so grandly for so long!

Because I'm looking at this long list of 27 worst mass shootings in the US and a cursory reading reveals that most of these killers were not felons before they committed their mass murders. But you've assured us that law abiding gun owners are not the problem. Of course, they're only law-abiding, responsible gun owners until they murder a bunch of people - then they're criminals. So, you're absolutely correct, Professor, criminals are the real problem, not law abiding gun owners who haven't committed a massacre yet.

Mass murders with guns make up a very small percentage of total murders with guns. Of course The Controllers just love the political mileage they think they get out of these tragedies -- as does the media.

A "gun nut" is someone obsessed with owning as many guns as possible, and carrying them absolutely everywhere he/she goes, because they're too paranoid and/or scared to do otherwise. A hair-trigger temper, and vicarious murder fantasies, are other common traits.

What are you doing for you "cause" besides slinging insults which give aid and comfort to the GOP by reminding citizens how nasty and dishonest The Controllers are?

How does that theory work for you? If it sounds moronic and infantile, maybe you need to check yourself.

And of course in dodging my question, you answered it.

I went through all that miserable training just to compensate for my small penis when I could have just bought a bunch of guns.

how can I not be convinced of the wisdom and effectiveness of an assault weapons ban...

How about we put on our big boy pants and discuss the Department of Justice and National Institute of Justice reports that found the treasured 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, and AWB's generally, to be effectively useless.
