Gun Control Reform Activism

for some time: attempted to bait a poster in back n' forth into saying something that will get a post in their own OP hidden, thus locking them out of their own thread. Especially after you have had a post hidden yourself: I remember the thread where you managed to get a post of yours hidden, and then went on to alert on every single subsequent post of mine - I was getting forwarded "alert results" from other DU'ers whose alert messages - sent by you - simply beggared the imagination for the amount of mendacious duplicity that could be crammed into one sentence.

So, there's that.

But as regards the issue in this sub-thread, you are already trying both over in the Gungeon and here to spread the message that you are "really" for "gun control," even though your posting history at DU says otherwise.

Your pal "friendly" is trying the same tact: after YEARS of posting the most hateful, scurrilous NRA talking points against those of us who believe in sensible gun legislation, he's all of a sudden discovered he's "really" in favor of gun control after all!

"Because I'd like to see effective and Constitutional gun control that won't get reversed at the
next round of Congressional elections"

What it really is is that you don't want to be restricted from posting here, because you think DU is your oyster, and you have a "right" to spread the pro-NRA message wherever you want on this discussion board, even here in a safe haven pro-gun control group. That's how deeply your sense of entitlement - and that of your pals in the Gungeon - runs:

Here's the bottom line: I'm not a Host, so I'm not speaking from any position of authority whatsoever, but I have a feeling that if you abide by the SOP of the group, you will have no problems posting here. The problem is, both you & I well know you have ZERO intention of adhering to the SOP, just as none of your "RKBA enthusiast" friends have any intention of doing same. You are trying to find a wedge, a technicality ("I support many of the same gun control laws you do") to avoid being restricted from posting here. What ultimately happens I imagine will ultimately be up to how you comport yourself in this new group in complying with the SOP.

Your track record to date all over the rest of DU when it comes to these issues doesn't look promising in that regard, but the decision will ultimately be up to the Hosts.
