NEWTOWN, Conn. — She was ‘a big, big gun fan’ who went target shooting with her children, according to friends. She enjoyed craft beers, jazz and landscaping. She was generous to strangers, but also high-strung, as if she were holding herself together.

She sounds pretty normal to me. She had an active social life and broad interests.

If this was done by a Muslim we would have the right wing calling for a crusade. One of 'our pretty normal Americans' does it and ....

Muslims haven't done schools in the U.S. yet Destro. They go after bigger infrastructure, transportation systems and buildings of a symbolic nature, okay? I took the bait. Are you happy now?

Not sure how she qualifies as a "gun nut".

Talking about guns. Buying multiple guns. Target practice with family, including a child with apparent mental disabilities. Sounds like agun nut to me.

I know, that seems 'normal', but smoking was once seen as sexy and civilized and even good for you. Gun enthusiasts need to be viewed the same way we view smokers today or the weirdos who buy martial arts throwing stars at fea markets.

It's ok Destro. We already know that you think only Psychos own guns and that you think it's ok to hate us. Will you be taking up Pammy's tactics as well soon?

On like "Pammy" I back up what I say with facts. And I own weapons as well. On 2 continents. Legally. Registered. It's the American gun owners among the civilized world that are bat shit crazy. How can I say such an awful thing? Gun death statistics. That's called math. Science. Reality.
