Poll: Should the GC&RKBA SOP be modified to allow discussion about firearms?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

71. Regarding the pro-control posters

I can't help but notice that the "No" side of this poll is also predominantly pro-control with some exceptions. I wanted to recognize and suggest discussion about the fact that the current SOP "Discuss gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence." is focused on the legal, political and social aspects of firearms rights.

Many of those posting here on the pro-control side have brought to light concepts I consider vital to the discussion. Regardless of their place along the spectrum preferences for degree of control, it seems they have a decided preference to maintain the focus of this forum in its current state. Maybe I'm wrong in my assessment but I prefer to do nothing that would limit the participation of the minority.

I am quite supportive of the nature of the Bill of Rights to specifically protect the rights therein enumerated. I don't think that those rights are open to a vote to change their scope or focus. It is my preference to find a consensus that all can accept rather than implement a vote that may alienate a few.

Perhaps there is another way to enhance the pro-gun side in further discussion without chancing that some will leave or limit their participation.

For this reason I'm voting "No" for now.
