I would think that being a "gun nut" has more to do with attitudes about
firearms and less to do with how many firearms one buys, sells, or keeps.

One thing that makes a "real" gun nut is resistance to gun regulations.
You probably don't qualify as a "real" gun nut.
But you're close. So am I.
Of course I get to decide whom I call a gun nut.
Greg is a gun nut. It's a genetic deal.

Like I say, liberals don't tag liberals.

What a joke!

I don't have any resistance to serious gun regulations. I don't think
current gun regulations generally are nearly strict enough, and I live
in a state considered to have fairly strict gun regulations. The
neighboring state of Virginia, sadly, has extremely lax gun regulations,
especially as they pertain to private sale and transfer of firearms.

But Harry, if your state has tougher gun laws than Virginia, then why does your state have double the murder rate per capita than Virginia ? http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/murd...-state#MRalpha

You know, Tim, you presented a good source of data. Maryland's murder rate, 6.3 per 100K, isn't
quite double Virginia's 3.8, but darn close.

What makes Krause's comment even more ludicrous is a comparison of Maryland's rate to the top ten
lax gun control states, to wit: Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, New Mexico,
Texas, Utah and Wyoming. None of those states approach Maryland, land of liberal inspired gun laws,
in their murder rates. http://weapons.about.com/od/gunlaws/...dly-states.htm

I wonder why? Hell, even Illinois, land of the most beloved of liberal gun control laws, has a
higher murder rate than that unconscionably lax Virginia.

Kinda makes you wonder if the **** being spewed is, well, ****.

Harry's state has more low life that need murdering.

Gee, Tim, why did Virginia have nearly as many gun murders (250) in 2010
as Maryland (293)?

Oh, I get it. You're playing the dumb stats game.

There have been any number of news stories over the years that discuss
the number of Maryland criminals who take advantage of the "paperless"
and "recordless" private sales of guns in Virginia. In fact, Virginia
has a well-deserved rep as *the* state on the East Coast where anyone
can buy about any firearm they want sans even the instant check.

Numerous as in 'more of Krause's numerous bull**** stories'.

He's made that bull**** comment over and over, but has yet to back it up with anything. He'll be
saying all those Chicago boys get there guns here also. But, I sure don't see a lot of Illinois
plates around here.

I think your post nailed it.

The Virginia gunshow loophole problem has been reported on the news
dozens of times, **** for brains.
