I am declining any DU jury summons if the contested thread contains the word GUN.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by REP (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Sorry, yes. DU.

Just like abortion, no easy answers. Or that's how I see it.

I've decided to cancel my participation a few times lately when I discover lotsa gun contention... I get dropped into the middle of a sea of nested responses... I take my DU jury responsibilities seriously, but adjudicating those thread wastes time... I've tried to give it a shot, then I give up.

Thanks for the time saving Pro Tip!

Keep the gun posts in RKBA. Nobody's telling you to shut up, but go play in your own yard.

It's really hard not to be snarky here. What the hell will your refusal to participate on a jury accomplish other than you not being on juries? Nothing. So why bother with the vanity post about it? Just refuse to serve.

That might be the case here. Or it might be that I missed whatever this was a response to. Or, and this is entirely possible, I just don't get the joke.
