To stop any flame wars with those not agreeing- Use the POWER of the special group/forum
hosting ability-just delete the post.
Make it 100% ZERO tolerance, and you know what, you don't even need to give a reason.
And make another ZERO tolerance for any whine afterward.
Why beat around the bush? We all are adult enough to know who is for even 10% change, and who wants zero change, and perhaps even LESS rather than more.
People's own words show it.

Another thing-skinner in the ATA said something to someone about NO gun porn.
Adhere to that.
NO more of those stupid large pictures of guns, or one gun on top of another.
I do believe NO ONE on this thread cares about the stupid, detracting, minutia.

Guns and bullets all do the same thing, kill someone or something.
So adhere tot he SOP and NONE of that gun porn photos that end up ending all threads.

In actuality, what there should be is more hosts, even if somehow, those additional ones do not have the ability to do anything, just so more private discussion can be held.

Damn thing is everything like this thread is for all eyes.
Would be better if this was done covertly and just open to specific.

BTW,another trick people have used since CONN, not mentioned on any prior post I wrote,
is that more of the pro-NRA, pro-2nd, pro-gun posters are not posting in their section at all,
and attempting to cover up what side of the argument they are on, by heavily posting in
a specific other area, and camouflaging their intent wrapped in another issue, like the
pro-NRA congress people do adding ryders to a bill that has nothing to do with guns.
I know who I argued against last year about guns. And I marvel that they don't show up in their own section anymore, so their chatter can't be heard there.
