Gun Control & RKBA

(6,185 posts)"Guns in the News", blah, blah, blah various other headings.
The "Cut and Paste Google Dump" of any story that has the word "gun" or "shooting" in it is pretty much covered by a current player who goes back years if they need to for blog posts, old articles, anything they can post to keep their name high on the thread list.
Aside from the fact that this group has an SoP and is about gun laws and RKBA issues, gun control people don't seem to be bright enough to tell the difference between a crime that belongs in the True Crime group like an armed robbery and a gun control/RKBA issue.
What happens is what always happens with control minded folks. They keep it up for a week or so, then they get distracted by a shiny piece of tinfoil or a squirrel and gradually drift away.
Or, as a few have, they get upset when they are contradicted or made fun of, lose it and wind up getting TS'd ... or banned by our host for stepping over the line like another group host was after being a jerk repeatedly to DU members here.
No staying power, kind of like the the hosts in the other safe haven gun group that keep "recommitting" themselves to gun control activism and usually last about 2 weeks before drifting away again.
