We gun enthusiasts object to the uninformed categorizing of gun owners.
The guy who did the shooting is not a gun nut he is a killer. Not alleged...he killed folks. He would have done something destructive without a gun. Where do you categorize his use of a tear gas bomb. Was he a gas nut as well?
What do you call the suicide bombers? A bomb nut? A vest nut? Of course not they are killers. Just like the guy in CO.
Remember far too many of you approve of the garbage that is being televised and the movies of today. Far too many are way too permissive and not prepared to take steps to bring back core values that exclude detailed and explicit methods of killing a person....a group of people...how to make a bomb....how to report the parents for daring to discipline a child of today.
Guns as usual are not the issue....but it certainly is ALWAYS, ALWAYS presented as though they were.
Our permissive society has contributed to this individuals means to murder far more than the gun!!

I do not see the permissiveness of society having all that much to do with gun violence. This permissiveness usually brings more STDs than acts of violence. Some of these acts are family violence. Domestic violence has been occurring without abatement for centuries in the US. Much of this was done when people were a lot more Puritan in their beliefs and behaviors.
The glamorizing of violence by Hollywood and elsewhere certainly contribute though to these shooters taking up firearms and shooting various people for whatever motivation.
