179. You do realize of course...

...that the majority of DU has a pretty dismal view of this forum precisely because it allows some outlandish arguments to be permitted. There is a sort of groupthink that although you wish to assign to people in favor of reform, actually tends to reflect the monolithic nature of the pro-gun crowd. You see, it's not that we're against responsible gun ownership, it's that when we see the responsible gun owners making excuses for the mistakes as "rare" we become even more motivated to root out the misbegotten belief that we are somehow all in this life alone, and that what matters is not the victims of irresponsible gun ownership, but our own skin. Honestly, there are posters in this forum who I've never seen post much at all outside the Gungeon, in fact, I've looked and they've only made really benign posts and so we start to question who's side their really on. IMHO there are a couple posters here who have much greater allegiance to the Libertarian cause than they do to the Democratic Party. It's plain as day. You asked the question, if I get alerted on for answering honestly, so be it, but I suggest you consult a couple of the obvious one's yourself why they do not wish to share their political beliefs on anything but a near total absence of substantive gun control and full legalization of drugs. Show me proof to the contrary, and I'll accept it, otherwise I'm going to to go with my gut feeling.
