In reply to the discussion: Petition to forbid support of the NRA at DU [View all]frazzled
(18,402 posts)That's far easier to assess than support for the organization (which people can easily sidestep, moving on to more subtle statements that simply reflect the NRA's positions). So, for example, any post that uses the "guns don't kill, people do" would be automatically subject to censure (NOT censorship).
So no, this would not be censorship. There are plenty of things we don't allow to be said here. You can't say you support a non-Democratic candidate. You can't say something that is racist or homophobic with no consequences. Why should we allow NRA pro-gun talking points with abandon?
It doesn't mean people can't say something in favor of guns. They'll just have to be sure they're not using one of the arguments bandied about as NRA talking points.
