Would you date a gun nut?

[Anonymous]

Yes!

No way!

[SakuraBlossoms87]

Nope.

Because the typical "gun nut" is irresponsible and prone to anger / mental health issues. Statistically proven. Most gun nuts who make the news after all either think the government is spying on jack shit nobody or go back to work after being fired due to their shitty work ethics and shoot up the place. Definition of social loser / reject. Or worse the morons can't keep guns properly stored & some relative shoots someone.

Unless you're a hunter - and statistically gun nuts can't hunt to save their live - there is after all NO need to have more than one gun per person. Absolutely no reason whatsoever. And because the average gun nut doesn't practice at the range routinely and/or as above keep their weapons stored properly they're more threat than not.

Gun nuts get multiple guns for the same reasons men with small dicks buy sports cars and supped up pickup trucks to compensate for their inferiorities. As proven, as above, with the fact these losers when fired will go back to work and shoot up the place.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

By the way I've owned guns since legally able to. I hunt. I have a rifle for my hunting and a handgun. I practice at the range every 2nd or 3rd day. I don't have 5 to 6 guns to compensate for inferiorities because I don't have any.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I have 6 or 7 different hammers because they do different things. If you only need one hammer you're a handyman, not a carpenter.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep And yet even a carpenter would refer to your response as a fool's. Hammers have a purpose. What purpose do your guns have except to shoot someone?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@SakuraBlossoms87
Well that's their primary purpose, yeah. I've never shot anyone that didn't deserve it, but it's certainly easier than pushing the bullet through their body with my hands now isn't it?

[BoopBoopBeep]

When I say that's their primary purpose, I mean MY guns. Others may use theirs primarily for hunting. I don't hunt anything that can't shoot back, so to each their own.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep So you have a multiple of guns for no other purpose than to cause harm to others. And kindly don't say its in self defense. That requires 1 gun.

[BoopBoopBeep]

No it's not to cause harm, shooting to wound is illegal, if I'm shooting you it's because I want you dead, and that's how you'll end up. If I wanted to cause harm I'd slap you. If I'm out and about in town I have a small gun that's easily concealable. I have at least one gun in every room of my house because I dont know where i'm going to be if someone tries to break in. I have some 5.56 for medium penetration because I'd rather not have a shootout in my living room with someone who broke in and has a gun, and I have 7.62 NATO if they are fat and it's winter so they have a lot of clothes on. Saw one fat guy take a buncha rounds before he went down but he was morbidly obese. I have some higher caliber if the people coming inside have on body armor. Different tools for different jobs. I have a couple bullpups so if me and the old lady need to clear the house because someone broke in on a different floor we can easily maneuver through the house with something that isn't long and bulky like an M-16 (there's a reason the military got rid of them). I have a long range configuration on one so if someone is on my property who intends to cause harm I can effectively reach out to whatever distance they are at, because if I'm not doing it with an accurate weapon then I'm blindly firing and that is irresponsible.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep I've a 98% shooting accuracy sweetie, former military police & sniper trained. This includes training to shoot a moving target between the eyes. In a shootoff you'd be dead long before you can shoot me... Don't think just because you have guns that you're going to have the upper hand. That's a flaw of ALL gun nuts. You give a summary of the weapons you have as if any encounter is going to be like at a gun range and under your control. I suggest you get one useful gun and learn proper self defense.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@SakuraBlossoms87

Do you personally plan on attacking my home? That's not very nice. You want to make out you should just ask.

I've got 9 tours with group, and Activity sweetie. Tell me about your MP training. It's getting me hard. :*

[BoopBoopBeep]

Not to mention, a lot of people would call "sniper training" a lot like "gun nut" I reckon... but you'll dish it out won't ya now? I'm many things love but I'm not a hypocrite. Good for the goose good for the gander.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep Sniper training with the military is most certainly not being a gun nut. That's real, you live in fantasy land. Like I said you think because you have a gun you have the upper hand... typical of a gun nut.

Reality is, criminals are meaner, tougher and more adept with a gun than you and other gun nuts.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep by the way how fast can you field strip a rifle, if you wanna pretend you're military. If you WERE military you'd be more intelligent.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@SakuraBlossoms87
Miss, you're just making yourself look silly now to the very few people here who could do the research to figure out what i'm talking about. my time with Group and my Activity time both trump anyone's who went to the farm, and until you've been to the palace or under the mexican restaurant, your bona fides come up lacking.

say "field strip a rifle" to me again... breathier this time :*

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep ROFL. Sweetie the fact that you're NOT military except for on PC games was obvious with your summary of your weapons. Years ago there was a famous magazine that recounted the stupidity of Americans and their guns. The civilians who had never hunted & never served in law enforcement had multiple guns thinking they were save... the daughter of a detective and the ex state trooper each had one gun.

[HighValue]

Answer this, you have one gun, it is in your bed, someone breaks in your house to harm you, ut you are in the living room or restroom. How effective is the gun that you have no access to?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@SakuraBlossoms87
I dunno... this DD214 sure looks like a hell of a forgery then. Same with this badge in my pocket but you got MP training so you'd know. What TF were you on?

Oy! Say "field strip" again it's sexy when you're saucy. Bet when you go out with the other birds they think you're quite the little rambo don't they

[BoopBoopBeep]

@HighValue Sakura doen't need one effective access, she'll just say how fast she can field strip something and they'll cower in fear.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@BoopBoopBeep I've a 98% shooting accuracy sweetie, former military police & sniper trained. This includes training to shoot a moving target between the eyes. I mentioned field strip because REAL military would know what I'm talking about - PC "warrior" ROFL that you are it's a little too hard for you to understand

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@HighValue Since you're writing as if the guns aren't stored properly - typical of a gun nut - how effective or even intelligent is it to have guns all over the house for the would be burglar to get their hands on & shoot you in the head while you sleep?

[BoopBoopBeep]

@SakuraBlossoms87
nobody is refuting what it means, i've just never seen anybody think that matters in a firefight. What's your time in a shoot house? Ever do the one in the swamp?

What TF were you on? You never answered. I was TFO and 222, and one more I'm not putting on here.

[HighValue]

With your illogical thought, someone with a pocket knife can defeat you. Just because they are loaded and available in every room, that doesn't mean they are visible for a criminal to even know they exist or where to find them.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@HighValue Yes someone with a pocket knife can indeed easily defeat someone with a gun. It's quite easy. Come up behind & slit their throat before the person even draws breathe to scream.

As said former military and speciality trained, including with local police. My father used to work with the FBI and US Marshals as a federal employee.

Breaking down scenarios that make most criminals laugh at the stupidity of gun owners is incredibly easy.

As for this "that doesn't mean they are visible for a criminal to even know they exist or where to find them" --- most gun nuts leave their guns lying exposed and obvious. It is WHY gun nuts are far more prone to shooting themselves, shooting a relative, being shot by a relative (even a child as happened over COVID to that woman during a live team session), etc then they're likely to shoot a criminal.

[HighValue]

Suicide is where the "more likely to shoot themselves " stat comes from. It is often used by ignorant people trying to mislead others about how many successful legal defense use with guns happen every year. Far more people are saved by legal use of guns every year than killed by criminals with guns.

[HighValue]

Repeatedly giving false information doesn't help your point. Ignoring that most people that die from their own weapons is from intentional suicide just so you can LIE about the numbers doesn't help you either. You are wrong. Over half a million successful defensive gun uses per year FAR exceeds accidental gun deaths and the few circumstances where a criminal gets ahold of someone else's gun.

[Peter_Penetrator]

I am not a “gun nut”. But l play one on TV.


Just kidding. I couldn’t resist. I do own two though. Both are long guns. One that doubles for home protection and hunting, the other for fun and hunting.


I do not advertise or brag to people that l own them. I live outside the city limits. I very, very rarely ever, ever fire them on my property.


It is best that my neighbors stay oblivious to my ownership.


I am a sensible, responsible, gun owner that values human life. Mainly mine. I will never make newspaper or TV news headlines.


And the next time the grocery stores run out of meat and other food items, both my belly and deep freeze will be full. I live in the south, so for me, only owning two long guns and no pistols, makes me the odd man out.


As l said l live out in the country and can always grab a handful of leaves when the stores run out of toilet paper again.



I do date women whom own pistols.


Better to have one and not need it, than need it and not have one.


And God forbid if you have a crazed gunman threatening your life, you will quickly realize why we have that oh so important and wonderful 2nd amendment.

[Lliam]

What is a gun "nut"? Is that a liberal term for anyone who owns a firearm?

I own a few. I enjoy target shooting and am great on the trap range. It's fun.
The ability to hunt for food is handy.
I also think being prepared for defense is a good idea. I own fire extinguishers, too, even though I hope I never have to use one to put out a fire.

I wouldn't date anyone who was a phobic "anti-gun nut" and opposed gun ownership.
But I wouldn't date any crazy person or anyone who handled guns irresponsibly, either.

I would indeed date a woman who was familiar with guns and enjoyed practicing. In fact, I'm married to one.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Literally the last 5 girlfriends and nearly everyone I've dated for 25 years. Some I don't know about. If you're scared of an inanimate object there's a whole lot in my life you wouldn't have liked.

[AshViper]

No thanks.

Typical American who has more than 1 gun has mental health issues. Every nut case who should be locked in an asylum but instead makes the news for shootings - be it at schools, work or elsewhere - has more than 1 gun or access to more than 1 gun.

Proven by the fact that there's an eastern country where, per population ratio, just as many civilians are as armed in the US however shootings, etc. are far far less common.

.

The US is so bad that people in other countries joke that the time someone isn't shot in the US is the day you know everyone inside the country happens to be dead.

[DarkWinterNights]

A girl that calls herself a gun nut would fit right in where I live. I’d be good with it, range dates are fun.


My buddy met a girl from Spain who visited him over the summer and she had some major culture shock. The one thing she couldn’t get passed was the commonplace of firearms. She thought we were all “gun nuts” even though my friend only has 5 or 6. I’ve never really understood why having 20-30 over just 1 or 2 is such a hard concept to get over. They all have different purposes. If you get into shooting as a hobby you’re just naturally going to acquire more and more. As long as you’re safe and responsible it shouldn’t matter how many you have.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

What does your friend need 5 or 6 guns for anyway?

[DarkWinterNights]

You realize there are hundreds if not thousands of different calibers and tens of thousands of different variations and styles right? Protection from other humans looks very different from protections from coyotes and mountain lions which look completely different from protection from moose and bear. Depending on where you live a handgun or revolver is fine for hiking a semi populated area, whereas if you’re in the deep woods you want something with more stopping power and capacity because no one is around to help you. I live in a place where more people go missing than most places on earth.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@DarkWinterNights - I grew up in the Rockies sweetie in a town that was so close to wildlife we had elk and black bears in the main street during spring and fall. Even there you'd not find many with a multiple of guns because one or two rifles would do all of the work. It's gun nuts without a clue about caliber, range, capabilities and need that buy 6 guns thinking that they actually know what they're doing.

[lulziphukedurmom]

@SakuraBlossoms87 why do some women need 6 different pairs of shoes

[DarkWinterNights]

@SakuraBlossoms87, Fair, I’ve had my fair share of predators in my back yard. My neighbor had a 1000lbs brown bear break into their home. It’s actually it’s the enthusiast with so many types of firearms that typically load their own rounds, so they kind of have to have a clue about calibers, range, pressures and capabilities or risk it blowing up in their face. Again though, why does it matter if someone has no guns, 1 gun, 50 guns or 200 guns? Everyone has their interests, why shame people who have the most interest in encouraging the safe, responsible use of firearms?

[Angelo75]

Sooner or later I'm the one who's gonna be at the other end of that gun looking down that barrel.
It can be because she's angry, because she wants to show me something, because she's playful, or because she could be depressed or so.
Either way, sooner or later I'll be near that gun.

Then it's just a matter of time before I'm on the news becomming a statistical number.
With headlines like "angry wife shot husband"... "husband killed by wife by mistake while she was playing with gun"... or worse "kid killed while secretly playing with mothers gun".

[BoopBoopBeep]

Strangely, of the dozens of women I've been with, none has ever pointed my gun at me. Perhaps you should stop dating unstable women.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I'm not sure what the qualifications of "gun nut" are, but I've been to the range with every woman I've ever dated. It's always an easy way to try out something new. She shoots mine, I shoot hers, you see what you like and what you don't that way.

[Bilboes]

As long as they are mentally stable, why not? Frankly, one of the activities I want to do the most is to go to the shooting range.. So, I would not say no to someone who can accompany me in this activity.

[strateguy632]

too bad we aren't in same city. which state you?

[Miristheiss]

I am for someone having gun/s and taking protection serious.

I am not sure about the "nut" part where they are obsessed with guns and own 30 of them and want to go to gun shows all the time... etc. We may not have had that much in common.

[CuriousInquirer]

Where I grew up anywhere from 40 to 60% of the population has guns. It's among the top 5 countries for gun ownership. We have less than 1% of death contributed to guns. We don't even make the OECD 2010 summary of gun related violence.

In comparison where gun ownership is excessive in the Americas 120 guns / 100 people the violence contributed to guns in the OECD 2010 summary for America is more than twice that of the runner up country.

So no I'd NOT date a gun nut.

[mobiusforniner]

Someone who is a gun "nut", i. e. someone being obsessed with firearms, glorifying guns and violence using it to boost their self image- such people suffer from low self esteem, poor confidence, and high fear.

Women will NOT find this personality attractive at all.

I think the poll results align accordingly.

[Meropatrick]

If they r not gun nut how i can know they r not a knife nut? An axe nut? The kitchen is filled with so many knives after all. And one stab can end it all quickly.

The right question should be would u date or be around any toxic person? Then no. A toxic person is the nut that can turn anything into a weapon

[Anonymous]

Voted No, though "No way" is a bit strong. I have no interest in guns and they do make me uncomfortable.

However, my hunch is that a "gun nut" and I would not have much in common anyhow. In that sense, it is not so much the guns and what the guns may suggest about the person's overall personality that would make me shy away from them.

[purplepoppy]

Gun nuts aren't mentally stable enough to own guns or date.

[BoobSlayer]

As one astute observer of milky mountains, Boobslayer finds himself brimming with the courage brought on by the might of his three lethally armed muses. Although armed to the hilt, Boobslayer, true chieftain of the proud chest-obsessed tribe and an embodiment of sexual domination, makes certain that his arsenal remains safely strapped, ready only to serve in the moments calling for a swift discharge of the ultimate orgasmic explosion.

[provokeesmokee]

Not a gun nut.

Someone who is a firearm owner or enjoys target shooting or hunting? Sure.

Someone who unironically describes themselves as a gun nut? Absolutely not. Not interested in the least.

[strateguy632]

it just means someone who OTHERS call gun nut.

[scentoflavender]

How many gun do you have to own before you're a gun nut? But yes I would as long as they were mentally stable

[HelpfulWoman]

They're illegal here in the UK, but just no all around

[strateguy632]

but without a gun nobody does stab crimes, right?

[HelpfulWoman]

@strateguy632 Relevant how? Knife attacks are their own thing?

[musicbrain5]

A gun owner sure, but not a gun nut. We don’t really have those types in the area I live in, though.

[ArrowheadSW]

Only if she was a safe gun handler. I have high standards when it comes to gun safety.

[BCA6010]

I said yes because I don't consider that a bad thing, but as a shooter myself, I've lost a lot of interest in the hobby over the last two years or so.

[Nikki1989]

I would never date anyone that lives in fear so much they need a gun.

[crmoore]

This sounds like "I dislike gun owners but I can't formulate a viable argument so I'm going to suspend rationality in order to come up with a more damming argument" to me.

If people "live in fear so much that they need guns" then do you also describe yourself as a "fearful person"? Because I'd be willing to bet you take steps to keep yourself safe, right? Do you like yours doors at night? Do you expect someone is going to break into your house tonight and that is why you locked your doors? Or are you just being safe?

Is taking precautions to keep yourself safe an indication of fear, or is it simply an indication of awareness or even responsibility?

Lastly, not to be offensive to non-gun-owners, but I'd imagine the average gun-owner is probably a lot burlier, manlier, and more physically capable than the average non-gun-owner. So no, gun owners aren't wallowing in fear, that's just silly.

And I wouldn't generalize like you (statistic averages are different, my prior point isn't hypocrisy), but if I did, I might even say gun-avoiders are the fearful ones, being scared of being in the presence of a gun.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@crmoore That was very maturely done without attacking. Good job.

[Agape93]

Yeah, I have a few myself and arguably indecent amounts of ammunition

[Miah05]

No. A person owning a gun is okay, but you said a gun nut.

That seems like a bad combo. Crazy with lots of guns

[Apple1996]

Nah having guns is fine. Being a nut about guns is too far.

[DarkWinterNights]

To be fair, it’s generally a disparaging term that’s often blanket labeled on anyone who owns a firearm.

[strateguy632]

we would have MUCH in common. date at shooting rAnge yay !

[normalice]

A gun owner? Sure. I wouldn't date any kind of "nut," though.

[annabananna]

My husband has a ton of guns in a safe. However, he never talks about them or has touched them since I've known him. Not sure if he qualifies as a gun nut or not.

[lilBigPotato]

He can be interested in guns but don't need them at home

[CallmeTheKnight]

No I wouldn’t. I’m not against firearms at all, but someone who is obsessed with them and always has a want to use one is a red flag to me

[Grond21]

Sounds great to me. It's not a hobby that I have but I would be more than happy to date a girl who had that hobby.

[Anonymous]

Most likely not. If she's a gun nut, she's almost definitely an NRA member. If she's an NRA member, she's most likely a maga-head Trump supporter. If she's a Trump supporter, she's too stupid for me.

[Pohjolan]

What exactly is a gun nut in this context?

Like is a guy who competes in some shooting sport on a championship level a gun nut?

[strateguy632]

a gun nut means anybody who doesn't agree "guns are bad", in their warped view.

[LiamJHayden]

If by "gun nut" you mean someone who owns / carries, yes.

If by "gun nut" you mean an armed insane person, no.

[safricanluke]

A gun nut, no. Someone who owns a gun, has respect for what it can do and either has training or experience to use it responsibly, of course I would.

[strateguy632]

like practice at the gun range

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If you mean gun obsessed then no. Gun obsessed people at least to me are kinda crazy.

Having a few guns is fine, but having a arsenal of guns looks insane.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No way but I do support the Rights to Bare Arms

[MysticDevice]

Yes. Provided she was a safe and responsible owner.

[zato1abuser]

Why would I want to date a nut? Also, I only like peanuts and macadamia nuts.

[zagor]

Some one who has a gun (s) and sometimes goes shooting, sure. Someone who makes it a huge part of their life, no.

[Anonymous]

Sure, he can teach me proper gun safety and even take me hunting.

[justabuddy]

I use to shoot competitivly, so I guess that classifies me as a gun nut. Or someone extremely passionate about gund. So theirfore I would have no problem with her being one.

[Anonymous]

I would not date a gun nut. I would date a guy who lawfully owned a gun.

[douride2]

I have no issue dating a gun owner. A gun nut is a different story all together.

[Sparkie460]

Owning a gun for personal safety is one thing. Being nuts about them is too extreme for me.

[Anonymous]

I love with a conservative with some guns. hahaha A family member.

[AngryCarl2]

I'd rather date a gun nut, than a nut with a gun.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Actually, yes! Our third date could be at a shooting range.

[Anonymous]

Depends on you definition of "gun nut". A gun enthusiast yes. A right wing conspiracy theorist who's stockpiling gun and ammo. No.

[Anonymous]

No. On of the reasons why I wouldn't date a guy in the military.

[exitseven]

Yes, we could go to the range together

[EmmaMary]

Hell would need to freeze over first.

[Yucy_Gluttony]

Only if they're no nuts in the head!

[Siri137]

God no. Those people are paranoid.

[petitedollbabee]

Definitely not.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

No. I don't want any guns near me.

[stepyo99]

I'd probably propose

[jshm2]

Only to shoot them... full of man juice.

[Fireguy17]

Exactly what is a gun nut?

[worldscolide]

My wife married one..

[gothbxtch]

absolutely not

[clampfan101]

Not even if it was just video game guns. lol

[boobliker]

why not dated other nutters.

[electromagnetic]

Yes I would.

[Lynx122]

No, never.
