Focus on that.

Why do you have to shot animals? I've been shooting now for about 15 years and I have not come close to shooting any animal. Now paper, oh I've killed a crap ton of paper....


Focus on that.

Their stock plunge occurred prior to that.

I see no compelling evidence that this has materially hurt them financially.

P.S. I'm pro-gun. But facts are facts. If anyone cares to discuss this rationally, I'm all ears.
I agree. Most buyers don't buy guns at Dick's or alike. I was at a large local gunshop today. It was packed and selling guns briskly. Try the gun department at Dicks. It's crickets. They can take donw the gun section and nobody would miss it.

Everyone has their own definition, glad you have the ability to understand that, so why or how could you be confused?

Same happens in reverse when they realize I have no interest in hunting or fishing.

No, not really. You like the outdoors so you can backpack, hike, booking, climbing, and photographing it.


Good for you, I don't get confused, and many more also do not get confused, so why are you confused that people like the "outdoors" in a different way?


What is "booking"?



Here, I like Ford autos, I don't like Dodge....still an automobile...

While your sentence makes very little sense, I think I get the gist...

So no, you are already wrong as I am the one who said gun nut and I am NOT anti gun, nor do I mean all gun owners when I say gun nut.

But start with...

Gun Nut...a person who believes that anyone who says the words "gun control" means we're coming to take all your guns away so you better go stock up now.

Gun Nut...a person who deflects all reasoning for gun violence to anything and everything other than admitting that ease of access is one part of the problem

Gun Nut...anyone who can't seem to have a conversation without bringing up guns

Gun Nut...anyone opposed to ANY regulations r.e. guns, who believes that everyone should just be able to walk in and buy as many guns as they choose with no background check, no training, no anything ( I suppose I have a different idea of what well regulated militia might mean)

Gun Nut...if you are worried that background checks might prevent you from owning a gun, you just might not be a "good guy with a gun" after all

Gun Nut...someone who gets gleeful everytime they believe a "good guy with a gun" shot a bad guy (even if said "bad guy" didn't even have a gun and wasn't a threat to your life)

Gun Nut is NOT just anyone who owns a gun or carries one for work

My interpretation of the 2nd amendment may be different, but I am not opposed to it despite having no interest in guns or hunting. There is nothing wrong with feeling safer with a gun in your house, nothing wrong with enjoying shooting guns at a range, nothing wrong with legit self defense, nothing wrong with hunting. Gun owners can be reasonable, or not so much.
