(18,318 posts)"Zealots/cultists" is some of the mildest labeling I have seen in the Gungeon!
Have you seen the Gungeon threads which sought to merely List the invective? "Ammosexual," "LaPierre-sniffing," various allegiances with the KKK and GOP, "Bathing in the blood of ____________" might whet the appetite.
You wish to control and (if you could) prohibit guns as demonstrated by your posts. My description of those beliefs is measured, accurate and loaded with very little personal insult baggage. In short, the term controller/banner is defensible. But perhaps you can get a "hide," or perhaps get a DU owner to (ahem) prohibit the term. 'Couple weeks back, a "gun-advocate" used the term of art "hoplophobe," and was hidden. I don't know how that stacks up with some of the sewer-hole spew that is readily sanctioned by DU (most "gun-advocates" don't even bother to Alert anymore), but limiting one side's use of terminology has become something of DU high sport lately.
Incidentally, I and most gun-owners are not "gun-advocates," but defenders of 2A. So your pleasantly de-natured expression is in itself not accurate.
