Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: How do you know the things you know about guns? [View all]And then there's apocalypsehow.
They had that ridiculous sigline that read:
'RKBA,' 'pro-2nd amendment,' and 'pro gun rights' are code words for pro-racist, pro-sexist, pro-homophobic, and pro-white supremacist views. It is that simple. Thanks!
They left with tail between legs after this:

1. I'm not going to count up alerts. But I will say this...
That person has been crowing for weeks about the number of alerts (allegedly) sent about his sig line, even going so far as to state the the number of alerts that were allegedly sent.
He has no clue what he is talking about. There is no way for a DU member to know an alert was sent against them unless a post is hidden or a juror shares the alert with them. In the case of this person's sig line, the actual number of alerts sent was negligible.

Before checking out, they changed the sigline to read:
It's been fun, folks. But when the umpire openly declares support for one team on the field - and also decides to publicly play fast, loose, & coy with the batting score as a manifestation of that support - it's time to move on. I wish nothing but the best for you all, friend & foe alike. Take care, stay cool, and drink one for me every once in a while. You folks are the best.
Which is made even more laughable by their DU2 profile statement:
More likely than not you are here because I have bested you in some thread debate, and a sense of pitiful frustration at your own shockingly limited intellect in comparison to mine has angered you greatly. You are here hoping to find some "personal" info to attack me with, as is the wont of those on the losing end of internet debates - ridiculing my occupation, my hometown, my marital status, etc. Sucks to be you, huh?
It's remarkable.

That's the most forthright argument for willful ignorance I've ever seen

It's the only game they have. Honest discourse would lead to defeat of their arguments.

So you propose making the manufacture of all firearms, magazines, and ammunition illegal.

Dissension from their philosophy of civilian disarmament is too much for them to bear.
