Here is the SOP for the 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.

There are clearly people who have been posting in this forum who have long advocated more guns as a solution to gun violence and do not support any progressive gun control organizations, those are the people the OP was referring to.
