I've pointed it out before.

In spite of a lot of pressure from the control minded folks who have "demanded" several times, that he shut down this "den of right wing iniquity" and boot all of the regular participants out the DU door, he lets it stay. DU is a better and bigger place for it and a whole lot more interesting.

The Gungeon is about the only place on the whole damn web that I've found that allows both sides of the gun discussion a place to post.

There are very few gun control sites to begin with and none of them allow unscreened postings or delete any alternative POV. Just like our own so called "Activism" group.

No shortage of pro 2nd sites, but they all tend to muffle any gun control discussion.
