Yeah, pretty much. Your stereotypical media image of a "gun nut" is an overweight, gap-toothed, knuckle-dragging slob with a gun in one hand, a six-pack of beer in the other, and a dead cow at his feet.
It gets a little old and is more than a little ironic, given the number of PhD's, MD's, and award-winning writers I know who also happen to enjoy owning and using firearms.
