Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: A pump action AR-15 style rifle [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(102,627 posts)28. Bullshit. A post commented about gun porn
(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.

Thanks. Gunner logic is just plain weird. Where is Dr. Spock when you need him?

Whatever. Not much difference when you are dead, or grieving for the dead. Is it?

I'm confused. In that thread you refer people here. Here you refer people there.

Gun control advocacy draws self-appointed witchfinders the way Trump draws racists and idiots

Then alert on it if you feel so strongly about the matter. It'll either get pulled or it won't

Culture warriors, Right *or* Left, don't handle 'inconvenient' information very well
