In your worldview your popguns are more important than innocent kids lives, I get it already. Electric Monk Jan 2015 #12

You "get" nothing. That is plain. Straw Man Jan 2015 #13

Interesting how you're accusing me of absolutist views while at the same time saying Electric Monk Jan 2015 #14

I saved you the trouble of cross-posting to GD Electric Monk Jan 2015 #15

You got feedback from *one* poster, who was already sympathetic to your viewpoint friendly_iconoclast Jan 2015 #28

"GD Shaming" used to be their favorite trick DonP Jan 2015 #32

In my experience, 2A activists generally don't know about, care about or defend Maedhros Feb 2015 #51

The 2A activists here at DU certainly do friendly_iconoclast Feb 2015 #52
