Gun Control Reform Activism

Most, but not all, of the members there describe themselves as strong supporters of the Second Amendment. This group exists to promote gun control, not worry about shooters more than their victims. Our SOP is:
Discuss how to enact progressive gun control reform in a supportive environment. The group serves as a safe haven in which to mobilize supporters in support of measures reducing gun violence by changing laws, culture and practice at the municipal, state, and federal levels. While there is no single solution to the tragic epidemic of gun violence, members agree that more guns are not the solution to gun violence, and are expected to be supportive of the policies of progressive gun control reform organizations.
We have gun owners who participate here but their worldview is dramatically different from the Gungeon folk. A Gungeon member who has seen your posts asked me to extend an invitation for you to post there. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1172
You can bond over there about how awful we are here. They refer to us as "Castle Bansalot."

The best way to piss off gun nuts is to either ignore them or flood them with facts.

If he didn't intend to shoot someone, then why the fuck was he waving a gun around
