Thread: Discimination against gun owners

My experience and the thread is not limited to Gwahir, I just used him as an example of people.
As such, it's not about him, but about people who do similar things.

But if you're using Gwahir as an example of that kind of person, then he must have said something similar to the things you're complaining about. I'm curious about what he said that would make you use him as an example of people who insult and discriminate against those with pro-gun beliefs, since in my experience, he's never really done that. It seems to me that if you are going to call another poster a "worthless fuck" in the first sentence of your thread, he must have said something pretty awful to you. So what was it?

As for the thread's question: I don't know if I've ever been "discriminated against" as a gun owner; I've had people make insulting inferences about my character and so forth, but I wouldn't really call that discrimination. I find that when someone makes such inferences about you, the best thing to do is to stay cool, address their argument intelligently, and put the lie to their assumption. Anyone who is making such assumptions about gun owners can't have too good an argument anyway, so it should be easy to pick apart and make them look like the unreasonable one.
