In reply to the discussion: the number of posts saying "this in no way is a defense of Zimmerman" is astounding [View all]Walk away
(9,494 posts)advocate to vote for republicans and belong to a site called Democratic Underground. If I were in any other forum and advised someone to vote for a republican I would be shut down and kicked out.
Originally, I was pointing out that the posts from the the DU Gun group are not typical of the rest of this site because MOST of the people who frequent that group are only Democrats when it doesn't get in the way of their unrestricted ownership and use of their guns. Anyone else who posts there with a different point of view (carrying guns in playgrounds? parks? forcing cities to abandon the gun laws they prefer? ) will get bombarded with NRA talking points and statistics by 10 or 20 regular members of the group right away. You may not be one of the most but that is the majority of the Gun Group.
As to being lumped into one bunch? Right or wrong you are judged by the company you keep.
