Gun Control Reform Activism
In reply to the discussion: Committee votes on AWB [View all]apocalypsehow
(12,751 posts)34. This is not the forum to be expressing "RKBA" (see sig line) views. This one is:

Here's the SOP for this group:
"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."
Now, I know you'll likely have ten million "good" reasons why you should simply ignore the SOP in order to spread your "RKBA rights" message, as well as endless diversions, obfuscations, and "yeah, but..." explanations.
We're not interested.
This is a group for gun control advocacy, not chatter about "some people who claim only to want reasonable restrictions actually want to take away guns".
You can move this conversation "forward" by returning to the proper forum for your viewpoint on this issue. In case you missed it the first time around in this reply, here's the link again:

What do you think would happen if Democrats *did* lose control of Congress?

Then AR15's are protected under Miller as they are the semi-automatic version...

We all have access to the source documents, the game of providing only partial quotes is just silly.

Funny that your thread has brought a whole passel of "pro gun progressives" attacking...Democrats.

Maybe not surprising, but dissappointing that the conversation has not moved forward.

Thank you to all who voted for the ban. It's no surprise that the wrong votes were from republicans.
