4. Gun control action isn't a "shiny object" or "pandering." Go shit on gun control posts elsewhere.

This is supposed to be a haven for progressive advocates of gun control and you're not that. What you are doing is really obnoxious and violates the TOS.

Statement of Purpose: Gun Control Reform Activism

The Gun Control Reform Activism group is intended to:
Discuss how to enact progressive gun control reform in a supportive environment. The group serves as a safe haven in which to mobilize supporters in support of measures reducing gun violence by changing laws, culture and practice at the municipal, state, and federal levels. While there is no single solution to the tragic epidemic of gun violence, members agree that more guns are not the solution to gun violence, and are expected to be supportive of the policies of progressive gun control reform organizations.
