Faith-based anti-gun groups continue to heed call

Do you ever have any comment to add to the articles you post?

He just wants to get a reaction which does not happen.

So he posts again, hoping for a different result.

I've asked, indirectly, that he unblock a few of us but I don't hear good things about it ever happening.

can't have dissention or other points of view there.

Are goals to reduce violence/crime?
Are goals to reduce mass shootings?
To reduce "gun-violence" only?
To effect some sort of peaceful new order?
To change the nature of people?

What then must follow are policy/legislative decisions which are both Legal, and directly linked to the defined goals in believable manner.

The gun-control outlook has manifestly failed in these efforts. Merry Christmas to all.

Yep that is their problem, Lots of feel good theater, but of little or no impact to reduce the problem. Just want to make it more difficult for law abiding firearms owners.

Come on ban bayonet lugs, how many have been killed by bayonets attached to a rifle.

The gun controllers got skunked trying to re-write the Bill of Rights to their liking.

So why not try to use religion as the rationale? But they better find both Old and New Testament passages to use and something from the Koran too, so they cover all the bases and at least sound ecumenical and broad based.

On the Sunday shows (Face the Nation?) even Colorado's Governor Hickenlooper said their recent round of gun laws would have had no impact on the Arapahoe school shooter and they might need some "tweaking". That either means a proposal to ban or control pump action shotguns or backing off in general for his re-election run next year.

But I keep reading how the "tide has turned" and "there's a trend to more control". I guess we just can't see it yet since we're all blinded by slavish devotion to our "penis substitutes". Damn! If I'd of only known I wouldn't have picked a Colt 1 7/8 snubbie for that)

I keep reading that too, from a well known anti gunner who shall remain unnamed, but he makes sure he posts in the other group where most of us can't reply because of being blocked.
My guess is that he can't handle the truth that gun control isn't moving forward and that, except for a few states, gun rights are expanding, case in point, IL's recent legislation to allow shall issue CCW.

“But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me.”
(Luke 22:36-37)

Jesus wants you to iron-up.

Count me among the 'transgressors' not allowed to comment at Castle Bansalot.

A shitload of guns got bought.

Rumor has it he used to post here, as mrbenchley.

Anyone not familiar with that poster dig through the archives...

If you've never heard of that poster, digging through the archives will be a gigantic eye opener.

That poster would make even bongbong blush.

He, and his sock puppets, was one of the most bitter, angry and vile POS we've had on DU. He got away with a lot on DU1 and 2, including wishing gun owners would die.

By the time he left there was no one who gave a shit about him.

"He got away with a lot on DU1 and 2, including wishing gun owners would die."

Just imagine what a mockery he would have made of the jury system.

It would look kind of like...what we have today, only worse (if that's even possible).

I love the ATA question posted here, accusing "pro-rkba militants" the SOP alert system to "try to edit gd", posted by one of a group of posters which have been actively trying to "edit" pro gun posters in general:

Add that to the drama in GD with alert stalking and retaliation between factions over other issues, and what do you get?


Skinner answered that post in ATA as follows:

"Give me a workable solution that will make everyone happy."

I've got a solution which will make everyone happy except those that manipulate and abuse the system:

Objective standards of behavior, clearly written and defined, and strongly and evenly enforced

Although given my experience with the anger and vitriol I've seen in other "faith based" institutions, maybe I shouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't have expected that, though.

Now, don't you think it's time that the two sides of this issue among progressives start working together to institute some workable solutions?
