You lost me at "gun nut".

  Have you seen the US defense budget?

    I think you're myopic enough about your position that you're failing to understand the objection. jonnycoder wasn't saying that the USA isn't belligerent and aggressive. If I may be forgiven for putting words in his mouth, I think his point was that you're using for a negative connotation a characterization of a person who is serious about defending himself and his family while seeing that the authorities do not (and cannot) do so, and who believes in the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution. Your projection of aspersions on such a person is likely to force that person into defending himself, and hence disagree with your position purely as a defensive stance.

      Thanks for the explanation. I meant someone who's obsessed with guns.
