8. I posted that yesterday in the gundgeon

I figured it would never survive in GD alone. I hate the Gundgeon, full of trolls.

9. Forum hosts can only lock OPs, not replies, so I think it should be ok here this way :)

10. I think you are right

And frankly, I try to 'dilute' the gun related ones whenever possible, and they haven't been messed with. I was just kind of pissed that a thread I started on a shooting got locked because it was "gun related". It was not an advocacy story (one way or the other) in the slightest, IMO.

11. re: gun toons, I've been keeping a collection (from your posts and others) in the GCRA Group

14. Their greatest concern is how it stereotypes gun owners as fat rural white guys with baseball caps

instead of the thought that some innocent could be gunned down in error because some gun toter felt irrationally afraid.

15. True, but what gets me is the sanctimonious crap

The 'You just don't understand the law' and 'things would be even more perfect if only we had fewer restrictions' garbage.

I grew up in a family that hunted, both for food and sport. My spouse was an avid skeet shooter. At no time in my youth did anyone advocate for the sorts of laws we have now, where military grade weapons can be carried openly into malls. Where people openly point guns at law enforcement and other government officials, and hope for a 'final reckoning' . They would be, and are, appalled. The sort of brainwashing that has gone on these last 30 or so years has turned what was once a noble part of American culture into a psychopathic fantasy.
