ONLY guns kill children!!
This is both small and recent, so I'm assuming that no one else will report it as I'm writing it up, but if that happens, my apologies!

Perusing [info]customerssuck just now, [info]allalonenow has posted a second try on a potentially inflammatory topic: a woman who got her car's seat stuck on the loaded, cocked gun she kept underneath it. Apparently the first time he posted about it (in a different C_S community) he was flamed for denying this woman her rights to bear arms.

In any case, hoping that the CS community will not miss the point by quite so wide a radius, [info]allalonenow posts again and finds a much more sympathetic response, including [info]fourgotten, who carries a gun of his own but still agrees this woman was abusing gun laws. He ends with "Responsible gun ownership, people."

While [info]allalonenow is pleased by the polite conversation, [info]on_a_hill is not; and as a mod she decides to use her modly powers to put the smackdown on all gun owners! or... something.

You almost think nothing's going to happen at first, since her first comment was relatively mild, and [info]fourgotten continues to politely disagree, but... it kinda goes downhill. The entire thing is really almost only [info]on_a_hill answering rather rational arguments about how other things can harm children with increasingly angry abuse, including stating that no kid ever dies in schools from knife fights, only shootings.

It is really very small, but [info]on_a_hill goes from 0 to wank in two posts; always entertaining.
