28. Bullshit. A post commented about gun porn
Sun Feb 18, 2018, 04:36 PM
Feb 2018

(and, let's face it, a video about a pump action gun is that). The group host incorrectly characterised that as "trying to silence people". That was bullshit. It's not an attempt to silence (I'll tell you what is an attempt to silence - that's alerting). You joined in with the mischaracterisation by calling it "witchfinding".

The OP appears to break the group SoP of "Discuss gun politics, gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence." It is, instead, admiration of a gun. That's why it's gun porn. Sadly, the group host seems oblivious to what the group SoP says.
