If you have skimped on your housing, your kids, and yourself in order to buy more guns, you are a gun nut.
If you are unable to see past "I like to see targets blown apart by assault rifles" to the larger issue at hand, you are a gun nut.
If it takes a gun on your person to make you feel safe enough to go to a Wal Mart, you are probably a gun nut.
If you see a gun as the solution to life's petty problems, you are definitely a gun nut.
