1. Keep reading.

GUNS
News stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about efforts to strengthen or weaken gun control legislation in any jurisdiction in the United States, national news stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about high-profile gun crimes, and viral political content from social media or blogs that would likely be of interest to a large majority of DU members are permitted under normal circumstances.

Local stories about gun crime and "gun porn" threads showing pictures of guns or discussing the merits of various firearms are not permitted under normal circumstances and should be posted in the Gun Control and RKBA Group.

Open discussion of guns is permitted during very high-profile news events which are heavily covered across all newsmedia.

But meanwhile kids are dying every day at the hands of the NRA

7. Ah, okay. Here we go.

I was wondering how long it'd take.

'Bout a week-and-a-half.

Got it.

8. It's time to take on the NRA.

Gun fetishes are a public health hazard, just like drunk driving and smoking.

It's time to denormalize that shit.

Gun love is disgusting.
