Kudos to the Gun Control & RKBA Group
The members of this group have displayed remarkable character, discipline, and patience once again. As evidenced by the recent flurry of posts in this group by those critical of its members, it is not the members of this group firing uncontrolled outbursts, round after round. It is not the members of this group associating flags, banners, bumper stickers, and statements by individuals with everything that is wrong with this country.
It is shameful to allow perhaps the last unabridged right we have to be chipped away at, little by little, until it is as unrecognizable as our right to peacefully assemble or to protest. Sure, we can still have protests provided the permits are granted, the fees paid, the schedule kept. If the protest is innocuous enough it may receive coverage by the media, and if it does not have the potential to change anything there may even be some publicity before the event. Such has been the abolition of all our rights and the decline of a strong citizenry.
The bad intent directed toward this group in the past week has been an epic failure. It does not appear that anyone here is hiding from the world now, no one is afraid of the petty critics braving the world from behind their keyboards. Those joining in the fracas could look at what the depths of their own integrity has produced.

I think it has to be in the category of several hundred killed by non-white before it can be posted.

Your shameless promoting of a politician on the backs of the dead is disgusting.

Go to the link and see for yourself rather than deflect from the weekly tragedies caused by guns.

Right. It's the only outcome of deregulation, offshoring, and media anger-stirring.

I think you are correct. It is in our nature as Americans to kill each other. We can't help it.
