Yeeha. Gun stuff now not permitted in GD.

[HERVEPA]

Thank you Skinner!

[Aristus]

1. Gun advocacy, or guns period?

I think gun-porn should be confined to the gungeon, of course; but if one of those "law-abiding gun-owners" takes out a schoolyard full of children, I think we ought to at least be able to talk about it here. We can have a healthy discussion about such an unhealthy part of our culture without jumping on the gun-manufacturers talking points bandwagon.

[HERVEPA]

15. That would still be talkable about here.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

41. What is a "gun period"?

¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ?

[NuclearDem]

43. Gun shows and NRA conventions?

[randome]

2. Not sure that's something to celebrate.

It means the mods realize that meaningful gun control is not going to happen.

[HERVEPA]

13. Well, the admins, not the mods

In my request to Skinner about thi in Ask the Admins, I mentioned that nothing was happening or likely to be happening in gun control.

[onehandle]

3. Yeah, but there isn't anything about not talking about old, impotent, racist, white guys.

So I consider it a wash.

[BlueCaliDem]

4. GOOD!

Thank you Skinner!

[badtoworse]

5. It's about time.

[closeupready]

6. Excellent. :-) K&R

[bemildred]

7. Until the next massacre. nt

[gopiscrap]

33. exactly

[11 Bravo]

8. Finally!

Let me add my thanks as well!

[LittleBlue]

9. Finally

Glad to see it go

[PeaceNikki]

10. Can we also get all the stupid pope stuff back into the Religion forum?

[HERVEPA]

12. Based on the rules at the top of GD, that should also be true i would say.

[Iggo]

16. Okay, but the really smart pope stuff stays!

[PeaceNikki]

18. And drives a Renault.

A RENAULT, FFS!!

[Nye Bevan]

20. Try the "trash thread by keyword" feature using the word "pope" (nt)

[PeaceNikki]

36. Or maybe the forum rules could be enforced.

[Nye Bevan]

53. Hey- Skinner stole my idea! (nt)

[PeaceNikki]

54. bless your heart

[Walk away]

29. There is no Pope stuff anymore...just the fake Pope stuff...

you know...the stuff where folks get all excited when the Pope's "beard" washes peoples feet or wears a clown nose.
I doubt anyone will be hearing about the real Pope anymore. He is busy covering up sex scandals and making billions for the Vatican Mafia. It's working great! Nobody talks about raped children anymore. The Catholic church has been redeemed by putting this powerless boob on the throne and Catholics everywhere are feeling washed clean and happy!

[hootinholler]

47. As soon as there's a stupid pope again

This one is pretty smart

[PeaceNikki]

48. *Unless it's about women or gay people

[hootinholler]

49. Well, this one has moved Gay Rights in the church forward

A few centuries to about 1920 or so.

But yeah, I hear ya.

[Iggo]

14. Alerting!

[SidDithers]

17. Theoretically, neither are conspiracy theories...

or posts about religion.

But we all know how well Hosts enforce those parts of the SOP.

Sid

[randome]

19. But a Pope-centered conspiracy involving guns would have us all in a tizzy!

[Dash87]

37. People Francis is really a Russian arms dealer named Dmitri who works for the US government!

[PowerToThePeople]

30. I know, right?

With Nov 22 coming up soon, we are hearing all sorts of CT on a lone gunman in GD.

[AAO]

44. Is that a Loon with a Tin-foil hat?

[SidDithers]

50. Heheh...

Tin foil loons abound

Sid

[Lizzie Poppet]

21. Woot!

Finally...

[aikoaiko]

22. I figured they would wait until after Dec 14

when all the anniversary stuff subsides.

[Dash87]

23. OMG Obama's commin' to get our guns!

This is the first step. The censoring has already begun!

When did this happen? DU needs to stop hiding this stuff from me.

[HERVEPA]

24. Today I believe

I think in response to my note in Ask the Admins. I'm surprised I didn't see an anouncement about it.

[kestrel91316]

25. GOOD.

[n2doc]

26. Until the next school massacre, of course n/t

[Fumesucker]

28. I was getting tired of hearing about all the killing too

Now I don't have to trouble my beautiful mind with such ugly things.

[G_j]

34. +100

[cherokeeprogressive]

31. Why is THIS thread allowed then?

[Orrex]

39. Because this isn't a thread about guns

It's a thread about threads about guns.

[cherokeeprogressive]

45. Touche

[Orrex]

46. LOL

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

52. Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,

good one!

[Hoyt]

32. So be it. Those afraid of losing their gunz, will be happy to have discussion relegated to Gungeon.

But, as poster above said, we can still discuss creepy, bigoted, impotent white guys -- so it's pretty much the same mentality. (I used to think it was just old white guys, but the young republican/libertarian types are getting into lethal weapons too.)

[KamaAina]

35. The last time I was on a jury for a gun post,

I mentioned that maybe it was time for the exception to go away.

[SCVDem]

38. "Gun stuff" is very broad

Could we please get some guidelines on what is and isn't "gun stuff"?

A video game is gun stuff in a wide view.

Thank you!

[sarisataka]

40. I guess that means...

<snide comments pre-censored>
... so good deal

[IrishAyes]

42. Excellent. Not only am I glad 'gun stuff' no longer allowed on Du,

but I'm also glad to be able to dispose of my own piece since I've just learned that the man who terrorized me into buying it in the first place - no LEO help or sympathy available - is now in the hospital, on oxygen and confined to a wheelchair. That makes two things I'm glad to have out of my life!

I don't imagine celebrating being able to get rid of a certain object will violate the rule against 'gun stuff'. I feel free at last!

[krispos42]

51. That's good

It's been a while.

[HappyMe]

55. Good.

It's time for it to be gone from GD.
