...put me on ignore and you don't have to read my posts anymore. In fact, I'm considering doing that myself, I mean you keep trying to interject yourself into the fray while pretending you're neutral when really you're clearly on the gun nut side. I didn't respond to Clames in this thread, but he tried to take a swipe at me nonetheless. I think you're a lousy Hall Monitor. BTW - I'm no longer a GD Host and I never really make a point of discussing anything but hosting matters there so I don't see our point on that matter. I've always viewed that as a work space and not a place for personal opinions. The Gungeon and Meta are another story. I will, I do, and I will always speak my mind.
Frankly, I detest all this gun nuttery, I'm not willing to pretend that our failed gun control policies don't do tremendous damage when articles like this are in my morning paper:

Slaying of Idaho football's Ken McRoyal a sad end to a turnaround story
Carson High grad Ken McRoyal's future was looking bright after some difficult years. A gunshot ended it all.

-------
A kid known to be hilarious and loud, as well as angry and quick to fight, McRoyal was obsessed with football and desperately dreamed of a pro career in a sport that, at 5-feet-9 and 185 pounds, he seemed too small for.
"He always told my mom, 'I'm gonna get you out the 'hood,'" said his sister Keahsha McRoyal. "He was going to make it to the NFL, and we was all gonna be straight and never have to worry. There was no doubt about that. We just knew."
Nurtured by an extended Samoan family filled with athletes, Ken McRoyal earned a walk-on spot on the University of Idaho football team and was named a starting receiver for the upcoming season with a full scholarship.
His friends say the anger that had defined the kid who waded out of Katrina floodwaters was starting to fade.
On May 11, he returned to Carson for the summer. Two days later, McRoyal, 22, was gunned down in East Los Angeles. Police don't know who did it — or why.

If stories like that don't make you think there's something seriously wrong with our gun control policies, I don't know what possibly could...
