It's a well recognized tactic with gunners. Any message that doesn't glorify guns starts a feeding frenzy.

Another well worn tactic is to run down the rabbit hole of minutea about guns getting into the tiny details of ballistics, terminology and definitions until the whole issue being discussed is lost.

There's always the insult. You're too ignorant about guns to have a place in the discussion, you lie, you cite biased sources and hate guns.

Then of course there are the oft repeated "second amendment! freedumb! and liburty!"
