There's a whole spectrum of gun owners, but it's true that the majority of us are politically conservative. Naturally, that includes (but is not comprised of) the worst of them, including violent bigots and twitchy conspiracy-theorists. They tend to be a lot louder and outspoken than the rest of us, so they make the entire gun rights movement look like fruitcakes. Especially on the internet, the worst of the worst have no qualms about grabbing the bullhorn and making a scene. There's no shortage of them on message boards and in chatrooms, but I suspect that there are few who would be so idiotic as the gal you met at the mall. It's unacceptable, and we (gun owners) need to do a better job than we've been doing of shoving them out of the spotlight.
