There are plenty of gun owners that vote progressive fwiw, I say this because “gun nut” reads as “gun owner” to many, and understandably so.

It's fair. I don't know of anyone outside the US with such an affinity for guns that they get offended when you mention anything about gun control, be it conservative or progressive.

Bragging about your firearms raises suspicion and is seen in bad taste where I live. I wish USians could see how weird their gun fever is to outsiders.
