Blocking posters from this group should not be based solely on what they've posted in this group

but on what they've posted elsewhere on DU as well.

If they've previously posted elsewhere (in GD or the RKBA group, for example) something along the lines of "easy access to guns isn't the problem, and in fact more guns in more hands would make everyone safer" or similar nonsense, then that should be plenty reason enough to block them from this group. We don't need them posting stuff like this http://www.democraticunderground.com/1262314 (satire) while pretending to be serious. (edit: see this thread for some recent examples http://www.democraticunderground.com/126263 ) That's not what this group is for.

Gun Control Reform Activism (Group): About This Group

Statement of Purpose

Discuss how to enact progressive gun control reform in a supportive environment. The group serves as a safe haven in which to mobilize supporters in support of measures reducing gun violence by changing laws, culture and practice at the municipal, state, and federal levels. While there is no single solution to the tragic epidemic of gun violence, members agree that more guns are not the solution to gun violence, and are expected to be supportive of the policies of progressive gun control reform organizations.

This seems pretty clear to me, even though some of DU's "RKBA enthusiasts" are trying to play dumb about it and find loopholes to post here anyways
