they didn't rush in here to rage about this. Especially in the uh...two minutes you gave them.

Do people linger on the latest threads page hitting F5 over and over?

But to comment on the actual story, no they probably won't allow guns. If I had their nutty-ass base I wouldn't either. The first time they say anything unpopular with the teabaggers they'll be trying to dodge a hail of bullets.
