(27,787 posts)And your use of the term gun-creationist is really rather quite telling.
You've apparently decided that any discussion of reasonable gun control legislation is itself an unreasonable effort.
If you were interested in a serious proposals, you'd be making some.
But instead, you are playing an old game used to gum up the works in any effort to reach consensus on a topic when some of those involved are totally against reaching a consensus in the first place.
That game is called ... "Nope, that's not it." You propose nothing, but you shoot down any and all proposals put forward as being "not it." The goal of this tactic is to frustrate the group and get the members to simply give up.
Its a common tactic used in corporate politics. Your group is against some potential change, even of the change is unspecified. So you send some one who will play the "Nope, that's not it" game.
Leaders who understand group dynamics know how to resolve this situation. You simply drop the members of the group playing that game from the larger effort. You cut them out. They don't provide any value to the effort, in fact they impeded progress.
I think this is what's about to happen to the gun-absolutists.
