Subject: [CIMC-work] Hiding comments and articles -- we need a review of policy

I don't think I'm being a 'liberal' when I say that I cannot see why some
material has been hidden.  

For example, what policy did comment #39845 (below) violate?  It's ignorent
but what policy does it violate?

Are we in danger of censoring opinions we disagree with, when they are
coherent and not racist,....?  Perhaps this is getting out of hand, but
clearly we need to discuss it.

The appropriate response to 'bad' speech is more speech, which I'm sure our
readership can and will provide!

So I like to know how your poster knows them so well. I been a member for
over 5 yrs.

No one is forced to joining the group. Over 4 million americans have joined
by their own free will.

I have seen all races, all religons represented at NRA meetings, and at
local gun range shoots.

I dont know how wanting to protect somone's rights to self defense is
racist. Minorties included.

Its hard to burn a cross on some black guys lawn if he has a rifle to stop
you. SO if you wanted to do such, like the KKK does, you work for gun
control. The NRA does not.

I for one am not going to give up my rifle. I aint going to allow my family
trust white leftists to come to my protection. They run and hide when SHTF.

OR call the po-po to come save them. :) 

All lies in my book
