Gun Control Reform Activism

This Group hasn't had an active Host in quite some time...

This discussion thread was locked by Electric Monk (a host of the Gun Control Reform Activism group).

As pointed out here http://www.democraticunderground.com/12597208 and it was suggested that flamin lib and I be considered as new hosts. I'm willing to take on the responsibility for awhile, and Skinner said that'd be ok with him http://www.democraticunderground.com/12597250 if that's ok with a consensus of regular GCRA Group members.

So, what say you all? If you've been here awhile you know where I stand on gun control, and I'll try to be fair, while at the same time maintaining the reputation as "castle bansalot" for keeping the gun nuts out. They have their own forums to wax poetic about their tools of death, they have no business polluting this one as well.

Any objections? Suggestions? Do you approve of my nomination for Group Host?

I'll do my best to be even handed but it looks like former hosts have done the heavy lifting by banning the trouble makers for us.

I'll vote yes too.

While I'm probably more comfortable in the gungeon. I'd like to be a part of this group because I think there are things we can agree on.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
