I am sure they all all in an uproar over this. Not to mention they will start the insults in their little protected sanctuary when they see this.

I was banned from the "other forum" for discussing the effectiveness of a certain gun control measure. I then read the SOP for that forum, which includes the mandate to discuss the effectiveness of gun control measures. I then gave up trying to understand that place...

seems like that are a lot of us banned.

I got the boot for trying to interject facts and statistics into their emotion-driven arguments.

More than 1 of us were blocked for posts we self deleted (wrong group by accident coming from the front page), which those doing the blocking never saw.

Its not business with them, its personal.

I love the "latest threads" page, but I did make that same mistake with the gun control group. However, in my defense, I did not say anything anti-gun-control, I just made a point that the measure they were discussing would probably be ineffective.

One of the hosts even bragged about preemptively blocking people even before they post. That one also runs to Skinner whining that this group is allowed on DU.

On multiple occasions they have tried to silence any and all opposition to their POV.

That seems to be their "Go To" solution to anyone that disagrees with them.

Couple that with all the self appointed Zampolits that drop by and try to run this group and you have a picture of intolerance squared.

Inquiring minds want to know.

They do not really want any discussion in that group. It got so bad for a long time the hosts even ran away, lol. Now it's only the same few back-slapping each other.

but it's been quite a while since I ventured into the fundamentalist sanctum sanctorum, so I'm not sure.

Those nice folks in the other forum and the cult they worship surely never intend to mislead.

I had a conversation with an FBI agent several year ago. The standard issue handgun for the field agents is a Glock in the .40 caliber. The same handgun is used by the Secret Service. The same .40 Glock is also one of the most common handguns used by police departments throughout the US. Glocks in 9mm are in common issue to European police and military armies. The USMC is currently considering one of the Glock models in .45 for its reconnaissance marines in lieu of the 100 year old 1911 design.

Apparently we have an unsafe product protecting our president and protecting millions of citizens.

I've read multiple accounts of accidents, negligent discharges and other things done with handguns and Glocks. I've come to the conclusion there are people too stupid to own guns (the list includes some cops), cars and in some cases computers. I refuse to hunt and trap shoot with some people, it's the person and their sloppy habits and not the shotgun.

If only revolvers were issued to the police then we'd see an increase in the number of negligent discharges with revolvers, seeing as how revolvers are near obsolete for police use the negligent discharge rate is currently near zero. Does this make revolvers any safer than they were years ago? Hint: NO.

People who drive cars have a higher probability of doing something negligent with a car. The FBI guy I talked with said he'd never trade in his Glock for an alternate handgun design. The design is reliable, durable and simple. (He thinks smart guns are really stupid and ultimately unsafe.)

There has been a litigation trend lately that has the loser of a case paying the legal fees for the other side. The AGs will be paying the bills for Glock with taxpayer money.
