Wow! Let's talk about Gunz... er... racism in GD! Something new! Eleanors38 Dec 2015 #2

Please see #7. Will you back such a change? If not, why not? nt Eleanors38 Dec 2015 #8

My movement? Snobblevitch Dec 2015 #28
Right after you guys purge the gun banner types from your own movement. beevul Dec 2015 #31
A gun banner is not an extremist. MillennialDem Dec 2015 #33
