Every Fucking Post Is About Guns or the Shooting [View all]

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

Any idea how long this futile nonsense is going to last?

Can we allow the dead horse to be buried and stop beating it to a pulp in every conceivable way until the next horrendous shooting when all these points will be rehashed ad nausea AGAIN?

Throw me a k&r if you're sick of the Shooterpalooza that is GD.

Most of these gun threads here in GD are started by members who never post in the gungeon Kaleva Jul 2012 #15
