30. UBC is a band-aid. at best, and gun apologists know it

As for the rest, I frankly don't care if gun apologists don't like the dick jokes, though they seem lately to have decided that it's the "immaturity" that bothers them. Well tough shit. The infantile and insatiable need for Guns! Guns! Guns! does not merit a more sophisticated, thoughtful rebuttal.

As for "compromise," don't make me laugh. There is no compromise with gun apologists because they refuse to concede the basic point that the wild proliferation of guns is making the nation less safe. Any compromise with a gun apologist must only take the form of full capitulation because, you know, 2nd Amendment.

You can reply or not, but I won't see it anyway.
