That graphic is a misleading piece of propaganda. It might be technically true, but it certainly doesn't tell the story.

(12,778 posts)First of all, I'm sure most people define gun nuts much differently than you. Second, you made a really stupid comment that "gun nuts" were making a practice run by setting off a bomb in walmart without a shred of evidence. You're a little obsessive.

(12,778 posts)Remember the episode where they "blew up the men's room crapper with a quarter stick of dynamite" (one of the earlier ones)? These are probably the same type of geniuses at work here.
