Should the TT moderators carry guns?

I think that every Toytown event should be assigned it's own moderator. Some people regularly step over the mark and it should up to the mod-squad to step in when needed. It might be necessary to draft in some new ones because the workload on the existing crew.

But guns, bloody big ones too to provide a decent visible presence. I'd like to suggest this to Editor Bob but I don't really know a lot about guns. I prefer to shout at people and the roundhouse them to the throat in Chuck Norris stylee. So, I did a Google search for 'Moderator' and 'guns' to see what they use in other places and came up with the Benelli M4, the LNIB Savage Striker and a silenced pistol (see pics below).

What do you guys think? Would you go with the firearms below, something different, perhaps tasers or the like, the ability to give a strong talking to, or something else entirely. Perhaps you don't think that the Stitch n Bitch event needs a moderator present, whatever, would like to read your thoughts.

if u don't like the gun laws here, start your own country...

Who said anything about gun laws? See, if we'd had this discussion in the pub then a Mod could have stepped in and blown your head off for not staying on topic. That's why the idea has such merit.

By definition, it should have a silencer !!!

I think supporters should have the right to bear arms as well

Nooo! Toytown is scary enough as is.

I think a Magna-ported handbag should be the weapon of choice for a roving moderator around town.

Maybe not guns...but muzzles would be great...Just in case, you know, of a drunken emergency.

Why? I would have thought for example that the distinctive sound of an AK47 assault rifle being fired would serve as a warning to all and sundry to buck up their ideas quick smart.

I pulled up my sleeves only yesterday.

Scary!!
Nah, mind-reading can be fun, but if you read mine you'd probably start crying with boredom. So no, get out of it.

Edited out.

I want a right to bare arms, and legs, and my tummy if I want, not to mention other parts of my body not referred to in polite conversation. Change the weather, dammit!

A potentially more legal but admittedly less satisfying alternative: The Neuralyzer.

Nuclear handgrenades. If you absolutely positively have to have the last word in a discussion..

By definition, it IS a silencer.

woof.
