It was a weak analogy, I grant you that. However, just because a parent CAN control it after the fact does that make their anti gun bias any less palatable? Why allow for one view (i.e. the Brady Ctr) and not the other? I think, if something upsets you, you have a right to call them on it, and NOT give them a "pass" by saying the parents will fix it. That is unacceptable to me.

Because I think everyone's missing the point of this software entirely. The point of this software isn't to block any political ideology that a parent doesn't want their kid exposed to. They don't market "Leftist-Blocker!" to conservatives or "Right-wing fanatic Blocker!" to liberals. The point is to keep kids from accessing sites that might be DANGEROUS. You might oppose liberal sites, but they aren't going to cause Columbine 2 [i can feel the flames already.]
In case you kept reading beyond the last sentence, I'm pro-gun-rights and I certainly don't think that all sites in favor of responsible gun ownership promote violence.. But I'm sure that this filter blocks alot of sites that do promote violence.
