Pro-gun militants aren't entitled to such a response, and your condescending remarks certainly don't merit any such action. I stand by my prior comments about the racist component of the pro-gun movement---Ted Nugent represents your side of the argument, Gabby Giffords represents mine. Instead of lobbing snotty remarks my way, put some energy into cleaning up the political stance you appear to care the most about; God knows it needs it.
