How does the Ridiculous fool and his merry band of idiots have any supporters?

Freedompath comments on May 13, 2018:

Clinton may be getting the last laugh, but the majority of the American people are dealing with insanity and without some noticeable progress toward normality!

MikeFlora replies on May 13, 2018:

We are going to have to make our own progress this Nov.

I'm here to stay.

phxbillcee comments on May 13, 2018:

I'm glad!

MikeFlora replies on May 13, 2018:

We're not done yet, not by a long shot.

The NRA President Has Gone Way Too Far This Time [youtube.com]

MikeFlora comments on May 12, 2018:

I honestly think I am stuck in a bad cross of "Ground Hog Day and Twilight Zone". North is a convicted felon, the new president of the NRA can't legally own a gun, unless he has been pardoned. Does anybody know whether or not he's been pardoned?

MikeFlora replies on May 13, 2018:

@phxbillcee How did we allow ourselves to get in this position? Head down, ass up.

Interesting facts.. for the record, the ar-15 is considered a rifle by the FBI. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-4.xls

@Captain_Feelgood Because people with pistols don't usually kill 50 or 60 people at a time.

As fucked up as it is, what does it have to do with gun control?

Absolutely Nothing

gigihein comments on May 12, 2018:

I think it is a nice community that is supportive and positive overall.

MikeFlora replies on May 13, 2018:

Yes it is, even when I screw up.

I'm here to stay.

Lancer comments on May 13, 2018:

This isn't trolling. I just want to openly and honestly say good job. It's good to see there are still people who can commit to ideals enough to drive a societal change. Something that the majority of people lack. Although I may not agree with you on everything I just wanted to say that ...

How did it go? I was working so could not chime in.

MikeFlora replies on May 12, 2018:

I forgot about it

I am on the hot seat here, mostly for being too overly protective of this group.

Seeker55 comments on May 11, 2018:

It is hardly a case of letting anyone down. You are putting a lot on your shoulders. Did you do the best you could with the information you had???? If that answer is yes, then hold your head up and don't apologize to anyone! Do you have to go? Is that the only answer here? If so, that troubles me as...

I'm good, got to stop making snap judgements

phxbillcee comments on May 10, 2018:

I don't believe you have. & if you get 'booted' from your own group, I'm gone also! A few would probably like that as I guess I'm not as 'radical' as I'm supposed to be for purity's sake!

Lancer comments on May 9, 2018:

As populations increase, criminal activity and crime rates increase. Hence why some people who are less fortunate that most of us live in ghettos surrounded by thugs, drugs and homicidal maniacs. The police can't protect them so they have to protect themselves.

MikeFlora replies on May 10, 2018:

@Lancer As a group most definitely, individually not so much.

Has anybody seen Grass Roots North Carolina ? These people are out there

This is DJVJ311's opinion of our group "Gun Control Now!" is not an issue focused group.

Seeker55 comments on May 9, 2018:

Hmmm. it seems I am totally missing the whole concept of this group. I need to read the mission statement again. I think my recent comment have little to do with the current discussion about "what kind of group this is".

MikeFlora replies on May 10, 2018:

The man posted a video here just to stir shit up and then talked about our group behind my back. What did he think I was going to do, say thank you. "Echo chamber" implies we have no ideas of our own and are just repeating what other people say. I'm not going to argue with this guy, I said my piece and now it's time to get back to what we have to do.

This is DJVJ311's opinion of our group "Gun Control Now!" is not an issue focused group.

DJVJ311 comments on May 9, 2018:

So you're going to take parts of my comment from the community senate group and post it here without asking me or tagging me? Seems like you are not curious what I think and are simply looking for people to bolster your own opinion. That is what this group is. And it should be protected for what ...

MikeFlora replies on May 10, 2018:

You came into my group and posted a video just to stir shit up. What did you think we were going to do, then you talk about my group behind my back. Now you're surprised I fired back, don't do that again.

Are issues raised here meant to be copy pasted in misleading parts to other groups?

Crimson67 comments on May 10, 2018:

If a member of this senate group is copy/pasting things discussed in this group into general posts or anywhere outside this group, I think that is a problem. I didn't read your to links to what or where because to me it doesn't matter. If you discussed something here in private with other ...

MikeFlora replies on May 10, 2018:

The man called my group out specifically. He doesn't know anything about me or my group. somebody calls my group out, I'm going to defend it wherever that is. I showed his opinion of our group to the members, and I told them we didn't have to like it, but we did have to respect it. If he doesn't like what I did, he shouldn't have talked about my group behind my back.

It made me think of this group for some reason... [youtube.com]

MikeFlora comments on May 9, 2018:

This is not a echo chamber, and we are most definitely a issue focused group. You really think we are a advocacy and support group. I think you need to take another look before you make any more judgements on people you don't know anything about.

MikeFlora replies on May 10, 2018:

@DJVJ311 I'm not like anybody in that video. You don't know anything about me. This group is only a small part of what I do. I do a hell of a lot more than just talk, and I don't appreciate you making assumptions about me when you don't know anything about me.

Seeker55 comments on May 9, 2018:

I respect what anyone has to say in a non confrontational and respectful way. At the risk of sounding stupid, I don't know what the term "echo chamber means here". I do not just spout things I have heard elsewhere. My thoughts and opinions about what I believe needs to happen in the gun industry may...

MikeFlora replies on May 9, 2018:

I bring in stuff from other places that are aligned with us, but my mission statement for this group is what I think is wrong, and we're working at how to fix it. What exactly are we supporting that's a bad thing. All the stuff I put in the mission statement I mean to do, only I discovered trying to do it all at the same time is confusing to the point that I think could prevent anything getting done. I went with assault weapons first because it's getting the most innocent people killed.

By now it is beyond very clear! trump and the republicans are racists bigots and hateful of ...

MikeFlora comments on May 8, 2018:

They have already trashed of the people, by the people, for the people. Clinton won by 2.9 million votes and they put Trump in the Whitehouse anyway. We have a president now that a majority of people did not want in the white house. I thought the candidate that gets the most votes is supposed to ...

dare2dream comments on May 9, 2018:

In all my years I never have needed to shoot anyone. After talking with gun nuts I came away thinking they are all scaredy-cats. They are afraid of home invaders lurking outside their door, communists hiding under their bed and even their own government killing them. They suffer from cognitive ...

I think it gives some people purpose. I got my gun and I'm protecting my family, even if there is no credible threat

MikeFlora replies on May 9, 2018:

@Lancer I don't agree, I don't think you can know what you would do in that situation until you're in it and then it's to late. We aren't natural born killers, it has to be learned or forced, and I don't think some people can be forced or hold their nerve long enough to hit what they are shooting at. I think it makes some people feel safe, I don't think it necessarily makes them safe.

MikeFlora replies on May 9, 2018:

I don't argue this point, some people live in a higher crime area than others. Does having a firearm really help keep them safe? Or do guns make them a target? Does the average person have what it takes to point a gun at another person and pull the trigger if necessary?

I'm a member of the senate and I take what we do back to my group to see what they think. That's what the real senate does, I'm just the host, we do what the majority of the group wants to do. I've got over 180 members and my job is to keep them happy and keep the conversation going. That's the way ...

MikeFlora replies on May 9, 2018:

@hankster I talked to them about our discussion on hate speech and groups and blocking, trolls and the live chat. My group is not just talking about something I'm trying to do something that could possibly save lives. I know how that sounds, but I'm doing stuff beyond this group. I was in the MarchforOurlives protest in Columbus, OH, I was supposed to give a speech at a community commitment conversation in Columbus, but the event was cancelled. I host groups on other websites, I even had T-shirts made up. I have over 180 members in my group, it's the biggest and most active group I have, so I spend more time here. This group is very important to me, so I need to keep my members happy and I need to keep you happy, whatever it takes(within reason) to keep the conversation going.

Dear Trump and followers,

KKGator comments on May 8, 2018:
