Just saw this in the other group.

[GGJohn]

Sometimes when I am talking to gun enthusiasts, i think of this

And they claim that we're the rude, obnoxious ones?

[Duckhunter935]

1. Not surprised who posted it

3 Recommendations too, I think that is all of the regular posters.

Too bad they do not believe that Democrats own firearms and also want to control unwanted firearms deaths and injuries. We should be able to pass legislation that would actually work but all they want is more feel good laws.

They have the required safe haven and are in their bubble most of the time.

[GGJohn]

4. Awwww, now our favorite can of beans/bicycle tire poster is comparing us to racists.

[Electric Monk]

6. 9 recs now, and I love how you obsess over a Group that is not yours or meant for your kind. nt

[Duckhunter935]

7. What is our kind?

Firearms owners that actually want laws and legislation that works. Democrats who believe in the individual right to keep and bear arms?

I am so glad you are allowed to come and post over here. It would be nice if you could tone down some of the attacks on us in the group you host. By not doing so you must approve of the name calling and the ones that are calling us racist. Very sad in my opinion.

And for the jury that will see this I expect, Mr. Electric Monk is the host of the other gun group that is allowed to post over her but has blocked all of us. He even advocated blocking prior to even posting in his group. He allows attacks on us DU members over in that group and will not moderate them. He comes over here and thinks he can run this group.

[Electric Monk]

8. Individual posts are a matter for juries, not hosts. Hosts only lock threads and block disruptors.

I know I've told you that before, too. Stop lying, please.

kthxbye

[GGJohn]

11. So you approve of the insults in your group?

You must, because you obviously condone them by your silence and lack of action to curb it.

[Duckhunter935]

12. what was the lie?

you made the charge, now prove it or apologize

All I asked as that as a host you can IM or post in the open people in your group tone down the insults, nothing about hiding, am I right? You can as a host do those simple things right?

The polite thing to do would be apologize.

[Electric Monk]

15. The lie was that I have control over people insulting your fetish. I don't control what they post.

I only block users who violate the GCRA Group SOP.

Gun Control Reform Activism (Group): About This Group

Statement of Purpose

Discuss how to enact progressive gun control reform in a supportive environment. The group serves as a safe haven in which to mobilize supporters in support of measures reducing gun violence by changing laws, culture and practice at the municipal, state, and federal levels. While there is no single solution to the tragic epidemic of gun violence, members agree that more guns are not the solution to gun violence, and are expected to be supportive of the policies of progressive gun control reform organizations.

[Duckhunter935]

16. I never asked you to block anyone or hide any comments

That is correct right? I said and it is true as a host you can moderate users comments by IM or by open post calling on members to calm the tone of the comments.

So once again it seems your calling me a liar is not factually correct. The polite thing to do would apologize.

That SOP is not the basis of your blocks most of the time. The post fall within its scope but you just have the power and do not like the comment or the person making the comments.

[Duckhunter935]

17. Another insult to me by you

Very childish behavior in my opinion. I think you sir are better than that. 😀

[DonP]

20. It's really touching that you care about us so much

On one hand you have no problem advising your latest "Blog Flogging" fan to stop using all caps, but on the other hand calling DU gun owners racist is OK as far as your, obviously very limited, control goes.

"I only block users who violate the GCRA Group SOP."

So then why did you say you have no problem blocking people based on what they say elsewhere on DU? How can they violate your sacred SoP in another forum?

Ah well, you must be a complex and convoluted person to be such a successful and well recognized leader in the gun control movement.

Thankfully, you're running a safe haven that doesn't really matter that much anymore in the larger scheme of things here in the real world.

[Duckhunter935]

23. Thanks Don

I forgot sbout EM talking to that poster about all caps. Funny he can do that but is silent on all of the hateful and insulting posts in that group. That silence is agreement in my opinion. He just posted another insult directed at me above. In my opinion, a host should be above insulting posters.

[Electric Monk]

24. If someone has already self-identified as a gunthusiast with posts here or in GD

why play games and let them pretend to care about GCRA? re: pre-emptive blocking

The rest of your trolling isn't worth a reply.

[DonP]

25. It's not "trolling" to point out that you tend to make it all up as you go along

You can't "control posters", but then you can control posters; even when they aren't in your sacred group ... if you want to.

To oyu and your ilk everybody here is just a "gunthusiast/ammosexual/gun humper/gun stroker" etc., but you still post more here than in your own group?

(That echo chamber and the same 3 or 4 voices once or twice a week must get boring after a while, huh?) Just a lot of contradictions going on there.

And on top of it, with all that "activism" supporting you, you all still struggle to point to a gun control "win" after two years.

But cheer up, the violent crime rate including crime involving guns continues to fall, even with over 12 million concealed carry permits and more to come, probably because there so many fewer gun owners, right?

[Electric Monk]

26. Obama Administration Proposes Sweeping Gun Regulations

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12628975

[Duckhunter935]

27. And you as a host broke the LBN SOP

Epic fail, maybe you should be blocked from posting there, don't you agree? SOP's must be followed 😀

[Electric Monk]

28. As a DUer, I posted a news thread in LBN. Whine to the LBN hosts if you like. nt

[Duckhunter935]

29. I do not whine, I sent an SOP alert

And they will handle it. I figured you would follow the stated SOP.

[DonP]

30. Yeah, sure, fine. Let us know when something actually passes

I noticed theres a big push in there on getting the mental health issue under control now.

Must be tough, since the gun control fans insisted after Sandy Hook that mental health were NRA talking points?

Or is disagreeing with the administration supposed to make us all "Bad Dems" for you and that's supposed to shame us?

Well, then again, maybe you do support the TPP and the renewal of the revised Patriot Act, version 2.0, complete with secret lists.

Again, why are you posting here when you wanted your own group? Don't get me wrong, we all enjoy the humor you occasionally inject

But it's kind of embarrassing, as a host of your own safe group, that your favorite group is still a bunch of "gun humpers/strokers/ammosexuals et. al.

[Duckhunter935]

32. I like the humor!

😀

[Duckhunter935]

33. Two threads locked in LBN for not following the SOP

[blueridge3210]

34. Reading (comprehension) is fundamental.

And, seems to exceed the capabilities of some.

[Duckhunter935]

35. Yes it is Nt

[Electric Monk]

36. "A well regulated Militia..." you are not. nt

[blueridge3210]

37. The reference to "A Well Regulated Militia"

give one reason for the RKBA for individual citizens. It does not limit that right to service in the Militia. You may have missed a recent Supreme Court ruling called "Heller v. District of Columbia" where this was decided. More reading comprehension problems?

[Duckhunter935]

38. Well you do need to know

What regulated meant at the time and what punctuation means.

[benEzra]

39. But the right conferred is to the "people", a group of which I am, in fact, a part.

The "people" in the 2ndA is the same as in the other amendments of the Bill of Rights. The 2ndA does not state "the right of the militia to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"; if it did, you might be able to argue that the RKBA is limited to those defined in 10 USC 311 (of which I am one also), but the 2ndA makes no such limitation.

If someone can't find a right of the people to keep and bear arms in the text "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", then it's no wonder those same people have trouble finding a right to be free from "stop and frisk" or other warrantless searches in the 4thA, or a right to privacy in same.

[benEzra]

9. "Your kind."

Doesn't that kind of prove their point?

[Duckhunter935]

13. Yes nt

[oneshooter]

31. Sounds kinda racist to me. n/t

[GGJohn]

10. Hmmmm.

"Meant for your kind"?
Kinda says it all.

[Duckhunter935]

14. Yes it does nt

[Puha Ekapi]

19. My...

"kind"?

Why thank you very much, Mr. Monk. My "kind" is overwhelmingly Democrat, and the large majority of us are gun owners. I'm in far better company than I would ever be at GCRA.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

2. They should present their racist stereotypes to these gentlemen --

[sarisataka]

3. Stereotypes

It's the new liberal ideal

[NaturalHigh]

5. No big surprise.

Any penis comments in that thread yet?

[ileus]

18. It's their style of thinking....silly and dumb.

Remember they know how you should be living your life. If you're taking the progressive route on the 2A you must be racist.


School kid insults is the best they can muster...the "facts" of their arguments are easily proven wrong. So they revert to 2nd grade antics to prove their point.


"Deny my greatness will you! You have a dinky winky!"

[littlewolf]

21. since I have never gone over there I can not comment

I am glad some of you are brave enough. do you were Decon suits?

[Eleanors38]

22. What? Not even to get banned?

[pablo_marmol]

40. Clearly you didn't get the e-mail, GG.

Bigotry and hypocrisy are now revered progressive values. Get with the program, slacker!
