Who is experiencing gun fatigue?

Poll: I think we've had enough gun control and scary gun stories or stories of how guns saved people and I wish the debate would move to the guns/RKBA forums now.

checks and balances--fine.

Four year old stories about kids shooting themselves at gun shows? No.

If it doesn't relate to the topic at hand--the big news of the Aurora shooting--in a direct way, I think it needs to go back to the Gungeon.

IMO.

GC & RKBA as in any other group/forum. But I do think it's time for the general-topic gun threads to gravitate to the place set aside for them, and I think it would be great for those who have a new-found interest (even if temporary) to come along and join in there...

Hosts can't move anything, just lock if something is off topic, and the Skinner caveat trumps that for now.

The discussions just keep spinning around in the same circles, never progressing anywhere.

It's a fact of life today that maniacs armed with weapons of war are welcomed on our streets and no one will do anything about it.

It's going around and around. Having GD clogged with it is getting tiresome. At some point, it has to go back to the gungeon.

None of us GD hosts are happy about the gun posts in GD, but Skinner has said they are to be allowed for now.

I suspect we'd have many casualties by now.
