one must resort to muzzling competing ideas, one is insecure in their views.

That said, you need need the right pic to go with your Dirty Harry quote:



In one of the movies, he admits to using .44 Special rounds instead of the magnums.

So it's really going to be hard for you I guess, to post your usual Google dumps since Skinner doesn't want either side cluttering up the site with pointless criminal stories or self defense stories that have no real RKBA bearing.

But I'm sure your dedicated followers will join you in the crime segment below this one.

that you can't write a post without misrepresenting the person you are talking about when the person happens not to toe your line.

Go ahead and spam away with your endless anti-gun diatribes.

After all, we can't have much of a debate if the pro-control side doesn't show up.

"Statement of Purpose

Discuss gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence."

Seems they do.

This isn't a "Pro Gun" forum. Gun Control, and even confiscation threads would be allowed.

The problem is, these threads usually degenerate into flame fests.
