If it ends up a witch hunt, then I'm okay with that.

I'm not really in for half-measures at this point. Its not my job to witch hunt, but if it should happen on its own, then I won't stand in its way. For my own personal opinion, this isn't a site for people who support anything but complete repeal of the 2nd amendment and collection of the guns. That premise is what I will act upon when necessary as I frequent the site. Every other DUer will have to make up his or her own mind as to how they want to handle the issue and the community can decide as a whole how to handle the issue.

There's all sorts of counter arguments to that, but I'm not really interested in hearing them. I don't normally close my ears to argument, but this is different.
