The only time I see mocking is when someone is glorifying their lack of knowledge and wearing it as a badge of honor. We Mac such an attitude among Republicans so I don't see why anyone should receive a pass though I find the action counterproductive and simply ignore such posters.

Most who are here merely to mock gun-control don't last very long. When I have been on MIRT I specialize in removing such trolls. By following a few gunboards I know the lingo and can spot most moles rather quickly.

Yet do you deny those labels I listed and more are throwing around On a daily basis?
