Gun control is losing steam. After doing their best to use the tragedy in Newtown to limit the constitutional rights of American citizens when it comes to owning and using guns, the millions of dollars and countless hours of campaigning led to exactly nothing happening on the national level and very little on the state level. Even those changes that did squeak through are being fought tooth and nail in the judicial system, and gun control advocates are quickly losing ground there as well. The reason is obvious: gun owners are well organized, engaged, and motivated. So naturally the next step for gun control advocates is to pressure Facebook into banning gun related pages — which they’re doing.
From VentureBeat:
Facebook may announce company policy changes for gun-related pages in the coming weeks, VentureBeat has learned.
The social network has been under pressure from the powerful Mayors Against Illegal Guns and the Moms Demand Action civic group to ban gun-themed fan pages on the site.
Sources close to the conversations told VentureBeat, “Talks are progressing. The discussions are ongoing; there have been positive developments.”

“Is there a facebook alternative?”
For doing what, pray tell?
See post #6.
“Liberals only believe in freedom of speech for those with whom they agree.”

Yes,like that college a about a week ago where a conservative was scheduled to speak and the libs made a fuss because they didn’t want anyone on campus who didn’t believe in free speech..
The irony of that was lost on them.
.
Okay, but only if they also ban Free Speech pages, Freedom of the press pages, freedom of religion pages, Protection against search & seizure/quartering soldiers etc AND place a prominent bright red star by their name.

Maybe, but we have the Constitution on our side, and centuries of hard evidence of what happens when the citizenry loses its ability to defend itself. But I guess in today’s America simply having the law and Constitution solidly in your corner isn’t enough. You need to be an activist as well. So be it.
I have one and use it a lot. I’m in several bands. If they do this, I’m off facebook. Period. I’ll be forced to go to the google groups thing.
Always wondered what is the idiot fascination with facebook ,telling the whole world were your at and what your doing.Be sure and tell all the thieves that your not at home so they can their work.

Yup, I don’t have one either. I refused to support some crumb bum that supported the jerk president.
I’m kinda cheesy that way.
We’re talking about a fundamental Civil Right here, and they get to decide that we can’t talk about it?
Where do they get to decide which Commonsense Civil Rights are valid and which are not?
It’s high time that people start thinking about Conservative versions of Facebook, Twitter and other National Marxist run operations.
Wait. How can Faceplant (Facebook) deny service to gun lovers but somehow Christian bakers cannot refuse service to those who engage in sodomy?
That happens all the time. Leftists either shout someone down or accuse them of racism, sexism, or the newest ad hominem attack, homophobia. This is done to discredit the speaker with who they disagree and shut down the debate before it even starts.
I’ve never once even been to facebook, and never will I go.
Liberals are inclusive and worship diversity.
Except for people who don’t think like them.
I do have an account - one with zero personal information. I have “friended” several 2nd Amendment groups and manufacturers to support them and to get news.
If Farcebook bans them there will be no point in having an account.
Money talks, BS walks.
facebook can not afford to annoy a majority of the USA nor can it afford to exclude future subscribers.
Mr. Egomanica may be able to push immigration amnesty outside of facebook but inside facebook he has a serious uses anger risk.
look at groupon.
just having a product like facebook become a “hesitation to use” vs an automatic is bad for stock prices. Facebook would become the NYC of the internet. Someplace to escape away from.

And that sir is one of the major reasons we lose. We allow the Communists to organize everywhere way before we try to do it. There is a thriving 2nd amendment community on facebook that viciously counters the gun grabbers on a daily basis.

For how much longer?
Look at the Boy Scouts and gays...
