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 theyre 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.

I do not have one and never will.
Frankly, I’m surprised they have not done so before now - or that they ever allowed them at all.
Yup, I don’t have one either. I refused to support some crumb bum that supported the jerk president.
Now then, if queers can force being served, why cannot those who wish to discuss a constitutional guaranteed freedom demand the same?
NSA may not let them as their quasi-Gov owners Goggle find it useful to datamine 2nd Amendment defenders....
Wait. How can Faceplant (Facebook) deny service to gun lovers but somehow Christian bakers cannot refuse service to those who engage in sodomy?
Liberals only believe in freedom of speech for those with whom they agree.
They are in need of a serious beat down.
Because Sodomy is a Constitutional right. It's right there in Article 13. Just ask the Supreme Court. They know all about that. They've actually read the Constitution (so I'm told).
Yes.
But if no one actually provides that beat-down, then they DO effectively own the controls on everything.
Is there a facebook alternative?
I dumped FB YEARS ago, for different reasons. I am so glad I DID! :-)
Maybe they read it so much that they wore it out...
I closed my account recently, I was only there for a couple of months. Got tired of running across pics of old girlfriends who were hot back in the day and are now grandmothers, and look it. Depressed the hell out of me. Prefer my memories.
Never had one either. Just like Twitter, why would I tell the world what my faves are and what i did last night? Those who “follow” someone/something on social media are sheep and need a social life/get laid.
Love your comment!
