A goofy hat and a speech impediment are the primary features. A penchant for unsucessful rabbit hunts is a must.



I'll leave this definition the the pros around here.

Eta: There are a few of them around town. My personal favorite is the guy who said "I don't see why someone should own anything other than a .30-06 and a shotgun. Pistols bring trouble."

You'll find a large gap between what people assert it means and how it is actually used.

The way it is used, any gun owner who is not - in a given range session - firing a military-style rifle while wearing at least one "tactical" accessory, is a fudd.

FPNI , An example would be the local range that requires NRA membership to join and would allow no NFA . , They now allow limited NFA . The suppressor excuse was they wanted to hear the shooting . A friend of mine leased the adjoining property to shoot NFA and they went to the landowner and bought out the lease and leased the property themselves to keep him from shooting machine guns near the range . This would be Fudds . This is based on a true story .

FP is one of the best explanations yet.  It pretty much covers everything that a FUDD is, in one simple line.


"I'm a huge hunter so obviously I support gun rights, but there is no need for these assault weapons to be on the streets" is the basis of what a FUDD is.

Fudds are people whose interest in firearms is limited to hunting. This includes them only having hunting rifles and shotguns, them not touching their firearms outside of hunting season, and them supporting the RKBA only when it comes to firearms they use for hunting.

In conversation, a fudd is a gun owner (usually a hunter) who, because they have no interest in handguns/surplus rifles/AR's/ etc,  assumes that such guns are pointless and that nobody "needs" one.  Often found using the phrase "I (insert pro-2a statement or firearms-related activity) BUT (insert retarded anti-gun statement here).  Most often found with wood-stocked bolt action deer gun, double barreled or long barreled pump shotgun, .22 rifle with tubular magazine (or wood stocked 10/22)  and MAYBE a canned ham Ruger.  

 









HOWEVER:  At the range or LGS, or in any story taking place at the range or LGS, a fudd is anyone who's AR has fewer linear feet of rails than mine.

According to SCOTUS the 2nd Amendment is about hunting, partly. Read the majority decision in Heller.

I have a RIGHT to own guns suitable for hunting.

I have a RIGHT to own guns suitable for personal protection.

I have a  RIGHT to own guns suitable for miltia service.

OP

A "Fudd" (from Elmer Fudd) is a gun owner that supports unconstitutional restriction on firearms that are well suited to combat.

We need to have a label for those gun owners that support unconstitutional restriction on firearms that are well suited to hunting. "Buggs" might be appropriate.

Exactly! Too many use it where it really should not apply, like to hunters in general. It is a certain type of person, not simply all who have mostly, or even all, traditional types of rifles, shotguns.

That's pretty much the one. I say that based on eighteen years selling guns at retail.

It was especially revealing in New Jersey. I was there after the Florio ban in New Jersey and when the manufacturers made rifles that were compliant with the Clinton ban so we could sell them.

Elmer Fudd would out himself pretty quickly when we put the ARs back on the rack. He'd ask to look at an 1187, see the black rifles, and make some comment about how those should be illegal and what kind of a sicko needs a machine gun...

Even in New Jersey, he was pretty rare.

Fudd's are people who think the Second Amendment is about hunting.

Any asshat who says the above & then complains that "military" guns or polymer are "ugly" and have "no sporting purpose."

The other comments above help round it out--especially the "I support the Second Amendment, but...."

Fudd = Any gun owner who's against "evil black rifles" and of course against anything NFA. Any gun owner who says he's strongly in favor of the Second Amendment but who thinks it's about hunting or "sporting uses." In other words, a Fudd is a clueless "sportsman."

The problem with Fudds is that they give the antigunners the pretext to say that some gun owners agree with them. Fudds are the unknowing Fifth Column of the gun rights movement.

This.

"Fudd" is primarily used as a negative to describe anyone shooting a hunting style gun.  IMO it's very divisive and makes EBR owners come across the same as the Crossfit dorks of the fitness world.  The irony is, the number of ebr owners has exploded in recent years and I have no doubt that many using the Fudd term was once a "Fudd" themselves.  People who only own hunting guns are the majority of gun owners and are our primary recruiting pool for 2A support.  Don't shit in the pool.

My grandfather, several guys at the gun range, a lot of hunters and coworkers who all own guns,
but when they see something I own, whether it is a 500 magnum, black rifle, or BMG, and ask
"What do you need THAT for?"

I've been called a Fudd before simply because I generally prefer classic firearms in wood and blue steel and I like to hunt.  Shit, I even own one of those LL Bean vests with the orange shoulders (gasp).  That in no way means that I don't support the right to own, use, and carry any kind of firearm.  I'm NRA life.  My interest in ARs comes and goes, but my support for gun rights does not.  Calling somebody a Fudd because they don't have the same type of gun as you is a little like saying somebody isn't a real driver because they don't like pickup trucks.



Don't tag a brown gun guy as a Fudd until you talk to him.
