I wish somebody would define "gun nut" before they start throwing that term around. Is anyone who owns a firearm a so-called "gun nut?" I don't think so. That's like saying I'm a "can opener nut" because I own one.

It a term used by Folks to negatively describe any one who Owns a legal weapon, Or stands up for the 2nd Amendment.
If you support Border security or terrorist restriction your a Xenophobe ....
If you dont support Same sex marriage your Homophobic...
Don't believe in abortion... your depressing woman's rights
If you support Southern Heritage your a Racist...
We must also take away all Cars and Alcohol.... to protect us from Criminals.....
I MEAN ITS FOR YOUR SAFETY.....

Wow, that's a shopping list of misguided paranoia...

Our police here are being trained to use "bolo" things. They are shot out of a shotgun & it wraps up the perp like a mummy. That's for people in domestic abuse, it also only works at 25 ft. But if a perp points a weapon at any police office most likely they are on the ground & the coroner is called.
I remember going through the army & also through the police CCP schools here. They teach you if someone points a gun at you you have 1.2 seconds to decide if you're going to shoot or be shot.

That is too long to wait, you can't depend on the other party to exercise that much forbearance.

I don’t know why you included me as in ‘we’ but to answer your ‘how can we stop killing’? Annihilate every thing once and for all including ourselves, this will stop the killing. There will be no one to pull the trigger when all life forms capable of killing are dead.

I don't own guns nor plan to.
In a world where overpopulation is accelerating and wealth and wealth seekers control the world, the USA is more fragile than would appear. Consider what has happened during this pandemic and during the 2008 collapse that scared many. If our economic system collapses and chaos follows, one will not be able to count on local police and military to protect individuals from evil doer gangs with weapons. These are also reasons why so many have armed themselves.

I blame drugs for much of the violence in the world today which causes some to tip over into mental illness.

I'm told there is a difference between a killing, and a murder. A killing is when one is determined to be e threat to another's person, family or welfare. It's that a person needs killing. The other is senseless murder, which is a sin. Like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is the difference between a killing, and a murder. When bombs were dropped on London, in WWII, thousands were "murdered", when bombs fell on Nazi Germany, thousands were "killed". I totally agree with mellowyellow that the vast majority of the crime deaths are due to the drug trade. Again, killing is just business, while murders are not

IMO ? .......... tougher enforcement of the laws currently in place.
Again opinion ...... ease up on the drug charges ......... double down on the violence cases.
And make damn sure the street thugs know it if we do.

To me, a gun nut is someone who owns many, many guns and who spouts off all the freaking time about how he will kill people if X or Y or Z occurs. I have a friend who plans to kill everyone who comes from town into the country to try to steal his food, guns, and ammo. He, meanwhile, has never been stolen from, nothing of his has been broken into, etc. These starving hoards will be here because something really bad is about to happen in this country. Please, give me a break.

In the main, local police do not protect individuals, anyway. They are not required to.

If you owned a couple of dozen can openers some might call you a collector and I would probably think you were a can opener nut but I would not think that you are a public menace.
If you owned a couple of dozen lethal weapons I would probably give you a very wide berth.
Having lived in Gun States I knew nice, educated people who had arsenals. U-S-A
