115. I have several purposes in DU. One is persuading DUers that the gun issue is self-destructive...

as well as manifestly non-productive. I believe the pro-A folks and others here are making progress in that regard. Revealed in all this is the stridently extremist tone of the anti-gun "activists" who must rely on smear and insult, and on the outlook's elitist nature, with calls for DU proprietors to ban not only guns, but discussion of them. (Have you noticed how that happens every time GdD becomes Guns Discussion? I think it is because DU has the strongest pro-2A contingent among the other liberal sites. It doesn't take crap, and responds immediately. But another discussion.)
