Gun Control Reform Activism

You will see that what will happen will be,
(fill in the dots...).

Let me say, what will end up happening is we will be loaded up with ugly decedant pictures of guns
(and they will be really large ones) on any thread where some stupid point of minutia comes up where any of us forget to dot an I or cross the T, and as always, it will deflect anyones
discussion.

And it will be real easy to do.

We should from this day forward respect their area, and they should respect ours.
But you know what? After 90 days, they will have more posts here than there, and I bet their area (assuming we all respect their area and stay out of it), their area will be infrequent with posts as they assimilate here.

Remember when we were kids and we played shirts/skins?
If everyone wore the same uniform, it was impossible to remember who was on which side.

I am not for banning anyone or anything from DU as a whole.
However, in a special group, much like I never realized months ago until someone laid down the law in another group, groups are safe havens.

(Just suggesting, don't even know if it can be changed, but- the SOP should be made even more specific, and should be even more specific in what is not tolerated.)

We don't need a lesson in which or what size. Let them argue it in the GD or on their area and it can be referenced here that way.
Who cares about specific minutia specifications when the end result of someone dying is the same no matter what it was that killed them?
Who needs to see those ugly pictures of a gun and someone berating one of us here that we don't know what we are talking about because Gun2 is not Gun3.(and soon Gun4 will be made to specifically not be Gun1).It's only bells and whistles.

And asking for gentlerman's(or gentlewoman's) rules as we all well know, don't work in 2013 in politics, and the NRA does NOT play by any rules but their own.

In a world of insanity where the NRA got laws now making it legal in some states to freely
have a gun with bullets while frequenting a bar (and then arguing who is the best pitcher of all time, Sandy Koufax or Bob Gibson, or arguing the Yankees vs. the Red Sox), at what point does reason come in?
Who thought of that 100% insane idea anyhow?

but let me also say one last thing, from arguing over in their area last year(but never again unless I accidentally make a mistake-) some of the folks there are very decent people.
And those will be ones who will be polite and on their own accord, keep to the SOP here, like they want in their area.

And by Robb saying take it to the jury system, that bothers me, because I am not one who bases my jury vote on who is saying it, or I ignore no one, as I like reading opposing views,
and the jury system doesn't differentiate between the general forums and the individual forums. I have NOT voted to hide pro-gun posts with ugly pictures nor would I in the future,
if they didn't violate the specific civil rule.
I would suggest that most of the posts won't violate the general discussion civil rule. So most all of them would NOT get hidden.
I would bet a great bunch of people here probably don't know that these type of specific group/forum have a different reason for being than the other places, and it ends up beholden to the ultimate host, or other hosts to not allow it, not the general jury system.
There is indeed a difference between the NRA and all the people who have guns.
But normally, it is the NRA that has the loud voice and the wherewithal to stop any and all talk about guns.

So title all the OPs specific and then, though a thread can get derailed,
the title of the first OP post in any new thread stands forever.
(And if later you think of a better title, by all means, edit the title to reflect a better worded one).

Remember, the NRA has million dollar suits paid to do what most say I cannot do myself.
Be brief, concise, get the main point in, paragraph correctly, format it so, etc.
But then the NRA pays the people to do just that.
They wear the suit and tie and business shoes, while I am wearing a sweatshirt and converse sneakers with white socks.
