    This could be the most hamfisted bit of manipulation and tone policing I’ve ever seen.

    “We were just about to compromise after 25 years of spitting on children for not being pro-gun enough after their school shooting, but then I wasn’t allowed to tone police a comment that quoted two legal gun owners flirting over the upcoming murder of a vulnerable person, so instead I’m going to align myself with domestic abusers, murderers and extremists”.

    You should be thankful you’re not being called far, far worse things.

      Gunowners aren’t a monolith, and treating them as such is a great way to alienate potential allies

      But by all means, keep spitting on gunowners for 25 years, that’ll make a difference.

      I’ve got a neat concept for you that you might have never heard of, it’s called “compromise”. It’s where both sides of a negotiation get some, but not all of what they want.
