In light of todays "Ted Cruz believes JFK ‘would be a Republican today’ thread...

I thought it would be an interesting exercise to consider how JFK as we knew him, would be treated by todays gun control 'activists'.

The man was an nra member. He owned an AR-15. He was a second amendment supporter.

Do you guys think that would make him more or less acceptable, to the folks that claimed/inferred/implied that Bernie was a 'gun nut' and that his stance on guns was a deal breaker?

Me, I'd love to hear from the 'dealbreaker' folks.

a self deleted post got him blocked



so what part of the SOP did he break?

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.


I think another abuse of power

They cannot maintain the reputation they have worked so hard to build if they do not keep posts at the editorial standards set by such notables as Nasty Jack and flamin lib.
