Gubs for the day

The guy sounds a lot like Rico, as the article (and video) at BBC.com proves:

Freelance writer Dan Baum is a self-described gun guy. But, even though he has fifteen firearms locked in a cabinet in his garage, and loves an outing at the shooting range, he does not exactly fit the stereotype. "I am a Jewish liberal Democrat, and a gun guy," he says, "which in the US is a very weird hybrid."
The writer, who grew up in New Jersey and now lives in Colorado, says he is representative of millions of ordinary gun-owning Americans. He wants both sides of the gun control debate— the politicians who want background checks as well as the National Rifle Association, which opposes new regulations— to listen to what these "average gun guys" want.
For his new book Gun Guys: A Road Trip, Baum travelled across the country and met a variety of gun owners, from those blasting automatic weapons in the desert to a school teacher hunting pigs. He talked to the BBC about his attempt to explain his own and Americans' fascination with firearms.

Rico says the beret is stereotypical, but the guy does have more gubs than Rico...
