80. I think you've pretty much summed it up.

And it is true that there is no arguing with gun fetishists. Guns are almost like a body part to them. I work with a gun nut and both her and her husband have pulled their rifles on people simply because they were near (not on) their property. My cousin who used to be sane married a millionaire right wing nut and now they bury their guns in the back yard (without even wrapping them) because they are both convinced that Obama is going to take them away. Gun nuts think they have more of a right to own guns than American citizens have the right to walk down the street without being gunned down. They want to be able to walk into a Wal Mart and buy their guns, ammo, and even AK-47's without question. Fuck them. Fuck their guns. I'm so fucking sick of the NRA, their idiot members - all of them, and every single fucking person in this country who feels the need to own a weapon solely created to snuff out the life of living beings. The intent of owning a gun is to kill. That is essentially what they want to have the right to do at any time. They have blood on their hands. They are active contributors to the very culture that breeds mass shootings.

Shit - that just came out. I'm so angry right now. Never thought I believed in this, but gun control all the way.
