You can once again enforce the prohibition against gun threads in GD.
I think it is clear that members' interest in discussing Guns has died down, and we are now focusing on other issues. (Thanks, Mitt!) So you can once again start enforcing the prohibition against gun threads in GD.
Of course, if you do want to lock any threads about guns, you should probably discuss it in here before you do.
FWIW, my personal opinion is that some narrowly-targeted discussion of the tragedy in Colorado might still be on-topic for GD. But we no longer need to provide an open environment in GD for all gun discussion.

That's why we still have "armories", even though they aren't used that way anymore.

You're free to imply that people that don't see things your way on guns don't care about children.
