185. Jeeze, is everything in life this big a mystery to you?
"Am I correct that you want liberal gun owners to go on gun forums and post liberal views? If that is correct, I believe I gave some explanation as to why some would not. Those sites you mention AND describe, I might add, are obviously right wing dominated forums, so in essence the answer is why would anybody go there?"
Gee, because you might want to post your own opinion? Because you might want to put the good of the country over your gun fetish? Gun nuts are sure not shy about coming over here and posting idiotic right wing gibberish.

"I wonder (there must have been a poll) how many DU inhabitants sneak onto right wing sites regularly"
Gee, isn't the whole point of those sites supposed to be that they are not freeper outposts, but honest gun owning folks saying what they feel?

I sure as hell argue the liberal point of view on open poltiical forums such as Delphi. I don't sit around with my thumb up my ass when people slur my party and candidates in the open, or when imbeciles post bigoted statements in public.

"What I'm getting at is you seem to be demanding something that is illogical. "
I'm not demanding anything...I'm just pointing out that the only place on the web I ever see "Democratic gun owners" or "liberal gun owners" is here...where they post slurs against respected Democrats and pimp for Republican legislative priorities. Funny how they never have word one to say where other gun owners can hear them.

"Surely based on this discussion there must be some sort of organization or website or something aimed at liberals for guns!"
Geeze, you sure would think so, wouldn't you? But instead all the "Democratic gun owners" do is sit around here and bitch about how unfair it is to point out what sort of right wing scumbags are trumpeting this pro-gun rubbish. And of course, as we see, when faced with actual fact (like court decisions) they got nothing but horseshit.

It don't bother them that there's racist imbeciles leading the two largest gun owners groups in the country...what bothers them is when people point out in public there's racist imbeciles leading the two largest gun owners groups in the country.

Makes me think there's lots of "pro-gun" and nary a speck of "liberal" in these enthusiasts.
