I fear for the integrity of the space-time continuum.

That may not be the big feat it once was. :-)

4. I've had quite a few reasonable discussions there
although it doesn't happen consistently.

Sometimes the real loons are off shooting something and the sane people are around to discuss.

It doesn't happen often but it happens.

6. I've heard people beg mods to remove GUNS category, long live GUNS.
Otherwise, we would be hating gunners, instead of Dennis the menace, or Rahm, the snake/hero.

10. I think mostly people want it taken off the Latest page...
Like Lounge posts don't show up on the Latest page..

A lot of people find some of the posts that go in there disturbing..

I don't care myself, just explaining it a bit.

22. I know what you mean
You don't expect so many authoritarian, anti-civil right posters on a progressive forum like DU.

16. It's actually a wise to have separate fora for guns and Israel/Palestinian issues
the latter of which was developed through some very tiresome experiences.

9. Great way to open one: "The 2nd Amendment just means you can wear a t-shirt outside."
Bare arms.

13. I have had some very reasonable discussions there

They have convinced me that more gun legislation is a waste of political capital and time.

It is hard to argue with the idea of passing more laws if the current ones are not being enforced.

14. Haven't visited in forever but IKWYM
There are people in the GD now who are even more crude nasty and rude than some who backed primary candidates.

I just noticed a couple who attacked me haven't been here as long. I fear one is a moderator, too.

But mods aren't supposed to curse out members, are they?

23. Most of the incivility in the Guns forum
comes from the rabid prohibitionists these days..

24. LOL, don't feel bad...they attack me and I'm on their side!
They do tend to be a bit hyper-vigilant, however.
