Related: About this forumWhat on earth does RKBA stand for?
I'm a stranger to this group, and likely always will be, but for all the moaning that goes on about it, I still have no idea what RKBA stands for. I'd rather not think I'm dumb, but I've tried to sort it out, and I am at least dumbfounded.

I had figured that the BA meant "bear arms", but I couldn't work out the rest of it.

Honestly, it didn't even occur to me to google it. With all of the silliness that goes on with different groups here, I suppose I just imagined that it was some DU-specific thing. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't ever recall seeing the man in a sleeved shirt, but if he were ever put in one, I imagine he would bare arms with that shit.
