Would you date a gun nut?

Question

Yes.

I would date a gun “nut” as you call us.

Gun “nuts” as you call us, can feed our families when the grocery stores run out of food or restrict the quantity of food because of a pandemic.

Gun “nuts” as you call us, most likely live in rural areas of America and can just walk outside, pick up a handful of leaves, and wipe ours asses, when all the grocery stores run out of toilet paper.

Gun “nuts” as you call us, can protect our families long enough for the authorities to arrive and cart off the body (s) of anyone that commits a home invasion against us.

Gun “nuts” as you call us, carry a.380 semi automatic in a purse, or a 9mm, and possibly a.40, on our hip and have no issues with stopping a violent act from being perpetrated against us or the innocent.

My definition of “nut”, are those individuals that do not value human life. That choose to self medicate their mental health issues rather than seeking and continuing to pursue professional help.

My definition of “nut” are those that believe in taking guns from responsible gun owners while advocating lighter sentences for those that obtain a gun illegally and use that gun to take the life of an innocent individual.

That innocent individual could be you some day.

I can lay an AR 15 rifle on the ground in a public place. When l do that, 3 things can happen. (1) It will just lay there all nice, politely, and quietly minding its own business. (2) A responsible gun owner will pick it up and most likely turn it into the authorities. (3) A person that doesn’t value human life will pick it up and commit a heinous act with it.

Of course being a responsible gun “nut” owner, l wouldn’t dare just lay any weapon on the ground in a public place to begin with.

I am just proving a point. It ain’t the fault of the gun when used to take innocent lives.

If someone is hell bent on mass murder all they have to do is get drunk, get behind the wheel of their vehicle, and speed down the highway and plow into a family of four and kill them all. Then sit there unharmed themselves until the cops get there.

A vehicle in the hands of someone that doesn’t value human life can still commit mass murder.

All without pulling a trigger.

Depends on the gun.

provokeesmokee · Accepted Answer

Nope.

I don't mind a hobby shooter or hunter, or even a gun historian, but a "gun nut" with a need to own many firearms is metally unstable to me.

I'm uninterested in someone so passionate about such a violent weapon. I'd likewise be leery of an avid "blade nut".

Sounds like a teenage edgelord who is only technically and legally an adult, but not mentally or emotionally mature.

I don't particularly like guns, but as long as they don't expect me to handle or shoot them and they are responsible and have them locked up. Then yes, as long as they aren't actually a "nut", crazy, or unstable mentally.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I guess it would depend on their attitude towards guns. I have a few. Mostly because I inherited my grandpa's collection. Which included a good enough gun for carrying so other than a rifle or two and a pistol that shoots 45, I don't think it's going to get much bigger.

That said, if I ended up meeting someone who was really into them, I'd be a little excited about that. Most people who actually like to buy and shoot guns are the complete opposite of the type that goes out and does something crazy.

Just use your common sense. If the person is physically healthy, positive person of good character, discipline and follows some kind of moral code which is some flavor of family, respect towards others and a healthy social life, you have the exact opposite of the type of nut this lady's talking about.

Maybe you should talk to some people who were in the military its probably going to give you a better idea of the reality of gun culture than anything you're going to read on the internet. Just look at how this question is worded.

Do you consider yourself an open minded person who considers ideas that challenge your perspective?

What’s a gun nut? I have 20 guns? Am I a gun nut? Lol I work for the state, put in a lot of OT. Volunteer in my community. Take care of my wife who is getting ready to go on dialysis after we’ve been together for 20 years. We have 6 dogs, one adopted female and an adopted male to which she gave birth to 4 puppies. My kids are grown, one is a nurse. One works in admin in a hospital, then my son works at planet fitness, his first job being of legal age to work. I spent 10 years in the military. Kids have good morals. My guns don’t run around on their own unattended looking to shoot whoever lol if that’s what you call a gun nut then yes I’d probably date a gun nut.

Most gun "nuts" don't keep their weapons as loaded as this question.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

No, thanks. It's not the guns that bother me but rather the gun "culture" mindset behind it. High school dropouts with a persecution complex who have "funny" things to say about "negroes, kikes and the government".

CatVader · Answer

I'd hope one of the qualities of my future wife would be adamant handling of firearms.
goes together with opposing tyranny by any means necessary, able to hold her ground and anything that goes with it being a "gun nut". ofc not enough just being crazy about shooting..

MiddleAgedClimbee · Answer

I am married, we both respect those who exercise their right to own/bear arms. We own arms, not a large collection. If either of us were single, we would likely evaluate potential dates on a mental level before we inquired about their gun collections.
I personally would wonder why a person might have a large collection (10+), but how they presented/appealed to me overall would deter if we were going to date further.

While tools are useful they aren't that sexy... I date women. I do own a rivet gun, but not a pneumatic riveter with gun nuts.

No. While I personally have no issue with guns--what's coming to mind is:

Curmudgeon · Answer

I would love to take a girl target shooting with me. She might like it very much, and she would learn the realities of handling firearms, not the movies crap.

DizzyDesii · Answer

No I’d be uncomfortable. If he has a gun, i rather not know about it nor be around it. But I do like knowing that he knows how to disarm someone with a gun

Spongebobssocks · Answer

Someone who collects gun legally and responcible sure. But if he has no control over it.. causing him to get in debt and in trouble then no.

Giddyup · Answer

"Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" Leave the guns for the nuts.

Agape93 · Answer

Yeah, I have plenty of guns and enough ammo to start a small war.

Awesomesauce2005 · Answer

Im assuming that you mean a gun "collector" or gun "enthusiast" but i would love to be with a woman who loves guns as much as I do. Metal or physical guns😉

Screenwriter · Answer

Precisely what do you mean? Someone who likes to collect and shoot guns?

HelpfulWoman · Answer

Nah. Illegal in the uk, plus show's they're a bit deranged if I was anywhere else.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Someone that was reckless and careless with their guns, no! Someone that was very careful with them and wasn't a fanatic about them, yes.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not really someone I would be interested in, if they loved fishing that would be different.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

No, I don’t need to lose the storage of the garage for a man’s rifle collection.
