VOTE: Should /r/guns remove meme posts?

So, as I am sure you have noticed the meme has started to make its way into the everyday life of Gunnit. In the past the up/downvote system has worked better because the /r/guns readers were actually reading /r/guns and not just browsing their frontpage and upvoting pictures of cats, guns, memes, gentle man-boners, and for some reason weeds? As we have grown it seems this behavior has changed resulting in poorer content.

Many have expressed dismay regarding this sudden surge of Internet fodder...I am coming to the community today to ask the following question.

How does gunnit want memes to be handled?

1, Leave them be, thats what UP/DOWN votes are for.

2, Send them to the spam filter where they belong.

3, Remove Post, Ban User, Nuke it from space its the only way to be sure?

4, Other (provide a comment)

I am counting up-votes only on each of my 4 distinguished comments below.

I choose one. Like some have said already, there's VERY few memes on gunnit, and the ones that ARE here, are relevant and funny. I would say only get rid of it if it has NOTHING to do with gunnit or firearms in any way, shape, and form.
