Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Many gun owners are hidden criminals. [View all]fightthegoodfightnow
(7,042 posts)57. OH THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS SIMPLE
The gun clutchers who participate AND monitor this board don't want to have a serious discussion about guns. One of their many strategies is to say it's off topic.
Here's what you do.
You always start a thread if you support gun control by stating the Statement of Purpose (SOP) for the board. Here it is (see about the board):
Discuss gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence.
THEN, you follow up by starting your thread with
My statement that Many gun owners are hidden comments is about GUNS!
Sounds silly that that's the type of sh$t you have to do to survive on this board.
