I'm not sure why this was zotted.

The article is highly amusing, and the only comment by the poster is "What an idiot." Granted, he just signed up today, but this strikes me as a reasonably harmless post.

It seems pretty obvious this person is a troll.  He or she is just using the "See, I agree" argument of disarming - which is the hallmark of liberal dialectics. 

In it's classic form it appears as a 'but' statement:  "I agree we have the right to bear arms [lie] but since tens of thousands of children are murdered by guns every year [argument to emotion], firearms should be banned [true opinion]."

Furthermore, I'm sure the IP addresses of all posters are logged and if a repeat troll has a static address, you just ban it right off the bat.

That's the primary way the phrase "Returning Troll" makes sense.
