Best wishes to the progressive 2A defenders in DU...

...and in this group. I have seen from "our side" an increase in OPs in GD referencing guns, and this is a good thing. By now, posters here probably realize that, IMO, the GD Forum is pretty much wide-open to gun postings. Again, IMO, more of the quality OPs posted here would contribute more fully if posted in GD.

NOTE: From communications with two Hosts in GD, it would appear that the threshhold for allowing the gun "exception" to be in effect is when an example of the new, ill-defined "mass shooting" is in effect. Since that hazy definition can be met any number of ways, and anti-2A news aggregators have become tantamount to a major news outlet stamp-of-approval, gun postings now seem full-time. One host has told me in confidence that a power struggle has resulted in essentially a situation where one (1) person can overrule the others when most hosts favor a lock due to SOP violation; this is supposedly based on some kind of "consensus" process.

I POST THIS HERE as a way to better advance gun control and Second Amendment issues. If the process has materially changed, it is in the best interests of All in these debates to know where to post. If anyone -- including Hosts in GD -- wish to weigh in with corrections and questions, please do so. Greater clarity and fair play should guide everyone in DU.

3. Hope it can sustain an "alert." Happened the last time I broached the discussion...

 

...and was Hidden as "over the top." Heh. Didn't know bureaucratic machinations could evoke such emotion.

Care to have a civil discussion about the post or are you just into insults. Disappointing for a host to insult fellow DU members.

9. You too, Eleanors.

 

I'd give a more wordy response, but I believe I told you why I can't really do so already. Suffice to say, keep up the good fight. o7

12. Excellent thread....2A progressives may be a minority, but at least we know we're right.

No matter what event, or how many bs stories are posted, each of us knows it's better to be safe than sorry.

17. Thank you Eleanors38


It's a pleasure to rub elbows with Democrats who respect the verdict of empirical evidence wherever it leads.
