Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Can't tell if this is supposed to be tongue in cheek or not, but it's not going to accomplish anything good.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Let the analogy play.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Post is totally inflammatory, and serves no purpose but to inflame reactions.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Frankly, I find it funny in it's attempt to equate banning guns to banning something nobody would want to ban.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Poster should be PPRed
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I think we should ban those trying to make analogies between guns and other things.

At first I thought you might be using sarcasm to make a point about racial profiling.
