they are nothing more than a group transferring money from a 1%'r (Bloomberg) to politicians.

And by gumption they elected 2 Republicans and got a third Democrat to resign.

I bet even the NRA can't brag about percentages like that.

Or was her quote appropriated by that group, or Thinkprogress? Seems unclear.

I guess "safety" is only for those who think the right way.

It ain't easy; believe you, me!

You know, those fine folks who just want to make sure the procedure is safe (by banning it basically)?

Basically the same minded folks - preach that it is for x when it is for y and hope people are dumb enough to believe you.

Yeah, progressives don't.

Support for more gun control by the vast majority of the public


...is a mile wide and an inch deep. Of course you will get 90% in support of background checks. But the devil is always in the details. That's why you haven't seen anywhere near the success you thought you would in getting the banner's radical anti-Constitution agenda passed.

I also appreciate the finger-snap in Billionaire Bloomberg's face over the loss of the Facebook pages. I haven't checked whether he's been able to wrest them away from the grassroots effort to define them from a pro-gun viewpoint. Maybe he should just look in the ashtray of his car for a few more millions and console himself with that.



And because of this post, I guess someone had a sad cause when I wanted to respond to a follow-up, heavens to murgatroid, I discovered I was banned from the group.

Le sigh.

They are quick over at bansalot, have to give them that. They do not want any discussion, they want an echo chamber. That is why it is almost a dead group with very little posting. Only like 5 users can now post over there.

The funny thing is SecularMotion is a host over there but this is his favorite group, who knew?

I see several names of members who have been banned from DU altogether after being blocked from GCRA.

This group could do the same with one of the TWO that have been blocked.

I am glad you made this your favorite group. Must get kind of lonely over there at times I would think. I see you are up to 61% here for your total posts. Good job at increasing. Just curious, what is the percentage of posting in the group you host?

You'll be accused of "harassing" by asking him questions.

I think one question might be OK. (I hope)

A few seconds of algebra shows:
33 posts in GCRA (~4% of 783 posts in the last 90 days)

Lest you judge harshly, remember that sometimes hosting (or gun control) isn't always about participation (or guns,) it's about control.

I understand completely, I just find it interesting he posts in the opposite group. This is unlike our fine host here.
