I can't talk about my hatred of guns and the NRA on Facebook

[Flying Squirrel]

133. You are the one who is being disingenuous.

I never said I was prohibited from talking about guns on fb, I said I could not do so because I was unwilling to accept the consequences of essentially losing my only brother. Either way, I "can't". The conversation is being squelched. On DU it's being squelched most of the time due to the TOS. This particular OP has not been locked for 'whining about DU', probably because once again guns are "big news", but next week it probably would. I choose not to discuss guns in GD most of the time because I value my membership on this board. Why I'm bothering to explain this with someone as disingenuous as yourself, I don't really know.. But most people here get what I'm saying, which would explain the recs. I personally expected to come back here today to a locked OP, but the fact that it wasn't locked changes nothing about the general rule. It's merely an exception, caused by the fact of yet another atrocity. I wonder if those who continue to argue for the other side would change their tune if a loved one died in a gun massacre. I wonder if they have the ability to feel empathy. I wonder a lot of things about our country these days.
