1. Do you post to gun forums articles without discussion more than 3 times a month?
2. Do you post to gun forums articles without discussion more than 5 times a month?
3. Do you post to gun forums articles without discussion more than 10 times a month?
4. Do you feel suspicious of people in general, or uncomfortable around people who don’t want to confiscate all guns?
5. Have you ever called for having people with guns hunt down and kill other people with guns in order to confiscate all guns?
6. Do you spend more than 5 hours a week on gun confiscation forums or reading about confiscating guns on the internet?
7. Do you stockpile more than 1,000 uncompleted petitions calling for gun confiscation?
8. Do you feel unsafe when you don't have an uncompleted petition calling for gun confiscation?
9. Have you purchased books like "How the American Revolution was won without guns" for family members even if they did not want it?
10. Do you always have to have the 'latest' in new arguments on why the 2nd only means muskets or bullets should cost $1,000 each?
11. Have you ever left a blindfold and ear plugs around your home or vehicle, just in case you find that seeing and hearing a loved one murdered by an assailant might change your views on citizens having guns?
12. Do you spend more than $5,000 a year on private security staff to carry guns because police response time is 30 minutes?

If you answered ‘yes’ to 4 or more of these questions, you may have a gun confiscation addiction and pose a threat to your family or nation. Find a nearby gun club or shooting range and go there and you may find out that many "gun-nuts" are just people that like to shoot or take seriously the threat of a tyrannical government, and that most likely stress gun competency and responsibility.

I'm assuming that your post was tongue in cheek and so was my response. My serious comment is that your 'addiction' list would more than likely include serious gun collectors and enthusiasts who do very few gun crimes while your average criminal isn't going to be flagged as an addict. With such bad aim, perhaps there is a reason you dislike guns so much.
