In reply to the discussion: the number of posts saying "this in no way is a defense of Zimmerman" is astounding [View all]apocalypsehow
(12,751 posts)to when I first stumbled onto the Gungeon on DU2, and all the tombstones handed out to our "pro gun Democrat" friends I'd witnessed over the years. I reckon 80% of them would never have been shown the door under the jury system.
I'm not sure this was what was intended when the new version launched, but it's what they got.
One thing I'm going to start recommending to folks not familiar with the history of the Guns forum is to check out the talking points on any given issue of the day at the average gun-loons discussion forum, and then compare them the "pro gun Democrats" consensus in the Gungeon right here at DU. I think if they take my advice they'll be startled at the similarities in such commentary between those sites and what is our very own, here at DU, sub-forum that is for all practical purposes an talking points clearing house of the NRA.
