At what point does advocacy become lobbying?
There have been recent inflammatory posts concerning the Brady lobby's designs on the rights of gun owners. Some look a lot like boilerplate NRA fear mongering. It pisses me off, and I expect it affecta a lot of others the same way. I understand we've officially sold out on "gun 'rights", but having it waved around like a bloody shirt on a progressive website is just the damned limit.

1. Members are allowed to support or oppose gun control
If you think someone is breaking the rules please use the alert function so the mods can check it out. If someone is really annoying you, your best bet is the ignore function.
