LOL, oh wow. You getting banned? I thought I'd never see the day.

Lemme guess, somebody did it to you for the lamest reason? Tell it to me on PM if you don't want to make it public.

Well, it looks like I can join your club: a few days ago I received my first-ever forum ban. It was only for 24 hours so I don't think that anyone noticed, but I figured I had to share my new criminal credibility with someone

That aside (and not related to the above), I'll be massively cutting back on my forum activity again, but this time probably for the long-term. You have my email address if you need to reach me! I hope all is going well for you.

I know, right? It even covers the one loophole current non-lethal defense equipment suffers today; you can use it against a entire mob of people, which is more than can be said for tasers or the like!

Hey, that's not a bad idea!

Just stay safe, and wear your kevlar, dude. It'll be a waste for someone with the potential to make an actual difference like yourself go down to a random gun nut.

I wonder if ninja smoke bombs would be an acceptable non-lethal defense.

In my true opinion, it's not worth the fight (offline, that is - online verbal scuffles are fine and fun). If they feel so strongly about their guns, let them keep them. As long as they don't go off the deep end and try to subjugate the rest of society to their whims by force, it's fine. Sure, we'll have to put up with more armed criminals, and we'll have to tolerate the occasional blow-up when a person loses it and goes on a killing spree... I don't mean to downplay those events or how tragic they are, but they're not so prominent that guns are an absolutely critical issue.

I know, right? You'd think such people could only exist in fiction. Well thanks a lot, reality, you're stranger than fiction sometimes.

Personally, I feel that if they want their guns so much, they're free to have them; the sooner they qualify themselves for a mass Darwin Award, the better. I can only think that way because I'm ultimately quite removed from the situation though; in your case, your position is a bit more perilous.

In hindsight I had some fun but it was a waste of time, and something that removed some of my faith in humanity's reasoning abilities. To be fair, I'm sure they felt the same way about me. A rather pathetic situation all-around.

So, what was your personal experience of arguing with a card-carrying deaf idiot like? We need to know these things.

Well I guess all I can say is, now you've seen first-hand how being reasonable can only do so much against certain types who refuse to listen to anyone but themselves.
