Looks like some cool history stuff on that channel.

then you should enjoy these two

Very nice channels.

is my favorite. i knew very little about ww1, my history classes only briefly spoke about it.

teacher really loved me. Once we got into the WWI timeframe, he had trouble finding a question that I didn't know the answer to. I read a lot of war books and novels at that time, so I was pretty up on who was who, geography, timelines, etc, through 1945. Boy, I wish I remembered a 1/4 of that stuff now.

I especially appreciate the lack of gratuitous insults.

Being a liberal and a "gun guy" means I get insulted a lot, accidently and intentionally. The intentional barbs bother me less of course

I really wish the hive mind would churn out a new set of insults.

would nearly get you canned off DU.

Welcome to DU, by the way. Don't believe I told you this when you joined.

if you click on the "yagotme" in the upper left corner of this reply, it will give you my join date. Cheers.

Were you afraid of being banned?

My "progressive" views on firearms was looked down on by many here on this site, pre-Gungeon. Yes, I was basically threatened to be banned by a few of my posts regarding firearms. A few here came to my defense, as they knew/realized that not all Democrats are big city liberals, that some of us live in rural areas, belong to unions, vote Democrat, and hunt and shoot. What goes on in the Gungeon now would result in permanent bans back then for many of the members that post there. But, of course, you know this, and you're just trying to start an argument.

in your opinion that are purely RW? The gun issue is codified in the Bill of Rights, and I believe a good progressive would want those protected rights for all Americans.

"The mission of The Liberal Gun Club is to provide a voice for gun-owning liberals and moderates in the national conversation on gun rights, gun legislation, firearms safety, and shooting sports. We serve as a national forum for all people, irrespective of their personal political beliefs, to discuss firearms ownership, firearms use, and the enjoyment of firearms-related activities free from the destructive elements of political extremism that dominate this subject on the national scale.   We also actively develop and foster a variety of programs for the purpose of firearms training and firearms safety education, for both gun owners and non-gun owners."

How do interpret this statement?

phrase here, I believe. AWB 94, they banned cosmetic features on many rifles. Had zero effect. Companies just built the same rifle, sans "objectionable" parts. Gun banners had a fit. Thought they had a lock on the AW ban. Technology surpassed them. And, it was on a national scale. Banners here are still calling for the same basic thing, if not going further. "BAN THEM ALL". And, to top it off, WJC himself stated the ban cost the Dem's seats. Destructive enough?

Destructive, what would you say?

since '96. Federal bans and restrictions have basically done nothing but hurt our party, and if you can't see/acknowledge that, I guess we're done here. And that's on federal and state levels.

Let me know if you find a progressive gun organization.
