How to tell if that guy w/ an AR-15 in the grocery store is a gun nut or mass shooter?

106. ...at a store

I wouldn't be concerned. Few AR-15s are used in shootings. The problem is handguns and their purchase by those who have no business owning firearms of any kind. New Town and highly reported, equally rare cases aside, we are diluting the solution to gun violence in the US with so much focus on the various types of guns which will do practically nothing to stem the violence in any appreciable way. Politicians know this full while they write legislation which amounts to no more than a dog and pony show - none wanting to be the one to do anything worthwhile to address the issue - cowards all.

The ARA is an odious organization which must be abolished under the Patriot Act as a traitorous entity, it's actions a direct threat to the safety of the American People.

Guns should not be sold without background checks and then not without obtaining a license at least comparable to a driver's license - pilot's license, in a perfect world, IMO.
