He thinks this is a civil war or something and that if he doesn't get everything he wants in regards to gun control, he's being held in slavery. Hmm...I wonder what political factions I've heard that one from before. Reasonable people like you and I can come to agreements, unreasonable people see all discussion as conflict with no possible resolution except for some vague concept of "victory" and even then they have to rub other people's noses in it constantly to the point of ad nauseum. Hey PavePusher, it's not a war, it's a political discussion board!

(Note to jurors: it's a fair point, and it's politely stated, and the goal is more civility not less. There is no blanket ban on "call-outs.)
