Pro-gun people and anti-gun people: Where do they stand on free speech? [View all]

Pro-gun people and anti-gun people: Where do they stand on free speech?

That became my question after making some interesting observations in this thread about free speech in GD:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028123637

If you're anti-gun, where do you stand?

If you're pro-gun, where do you stand?

Me personally, I have more faith in open discussion of ideas, than I do in 'bouncers'.

(Note: I'm referring here to free speech in general, not speech on DU per se.)
