This reads like an attempt at misdirection in order divert attention away from the public relations blunder made by the fringe goofballs shown in the pic.
It appears you're more comfortable rehashing older online debates that aren't relevant to this issue than engaging in a discussion where people have a legitimate criticism and, I would argue, a serious basis for concern.
Hopefully no one will take the bait.
I don't want to read too much into your statement though; maybe it was just dry humor
.
I would be curious to know your thoughts as to whether this incident, as pertains to PR for gun owners is
-net positive
-net negative
-other (please specify)
If you agree with most of us that it's a net negative, do you think it's appropriate to have a discussion within our community and voice dissent to dissuade this sort of thing from happening (as it's now happened multiple times), or do you feel (as I have gathered from your posts) that to do so is inappropriate?
I have gathered from your posts in the past that maybe you feel anyone expressing such dissent may have a hidden agenda that's incompatible with truly being pro gun. I'm not sure if that's actually the case for you but I strongly disagree with that view.
