No, it's not true and you saying it doesn't make it so.
The real truth is that a sizeable number of people are telling us that they are sick and tired of the hubris from those that are able to attend events as they level their shaming comments towards those that cannot.
Those of us that have been in the game for a lot longer than anyone of the lead shamers managed to avoid that fatal trap when we were running things.
This board belongs to everyone, not just those that belong to or affiliate with any one group or organization.
I do not agree with you. I have been fighting this battle long before this board was ever formed. We have people I have never met, boviating their superior knowledge of everything firearms related, and proclaim how bad the firearms laws are in Maryland. But can't show up for a simple rally. Frankly, they are are detrimental to the cause. Maybe they should stay in the rice cooker thread. No one is forcing people to read what they don't agree with. I'm about to call it quits here as well. Divide and conquer, that is the plan by the antis and it's working.
It's not the antis who are causing the divide and conquer over this issue.

What’s not true? AOB clearly wasn’t adressing
any specific member. Moreover, his comment didn’t seem directed “towards those that cannot” attend such events for good reason. For example, it was impossible for me to attend on short notice for logistical reasons, and I was not the least bit offended or put off by AOB’s observation. He addressed the entire membership (at least those that wanted to follow that thread), and noted there are many than can but simply won’t get off their couches. So speaking the truth got him a 30 day vacation. Wow! It was wrong. That’s my personal observation addressed to all members.
What is all this nonsense about shaming and “lead shamers?” If the facts make someone uncomfortable they should buck up, or go hang out in another thread. That’s what most of us do.
BTW, the hypocrisy in your statement that “this Board is for everyone” is astounding under the circumstances. Apparently that isn’t truly the case, as the mods have chosen sides. Just ask AOB and the next member to get the ban hammer for simply stating facts. I never thought MDS members would need safe spaces. Unfortunately, it turns out I was wrong.
Alas, for those of us that strongly oppose the Red Flag law, Mr Hogan's message to us is quite simple.
Apparently now, 3% is a large number

No.
We have repeatedly said that we are sick and tired of the hubris from those that while undertaking the admirable responsibility to advocate for important causes, then turn around and shame those that are unable to dedicate the same amount of effort.
It has been said time and time again that it needs to stop and unfortunately it has gotten to the point where we have to be heavy handed because it hasn't worked to let people police themselves.
You don't get people to do more stuff by berating them. It simply doesn't work.
The only people wanting safe spaces are the ones getting their pee pees slapped for being jerks.

I do what I can ti support the Bill of Rights, so sadly ignored in MD.
I contribute as much of my fixed income to support candidates nationwide who represent the ideals I seek in political leaders.
I vote my conscience.
I take a visible stand in Annapolis during GA sessions, and testify to those who care not a fig about my opinions.
I stand with those who adamantly disagree with policies which they deem unconstitutional and illegal; I do this publicly, in person, in front of those who reject everything I stand for.
It sorrows me to see how few are willing to stand alongside. While I do not necessarily agree with every aspect of those with whom I stand, I honor and respect them for their willingness to step forward, and am honored to stand alongside each and every one of them.
I understand the frustration of many of these men and women, who put themselves forward to struggle against the oppression of this one-party State. I do not condemn anyone for expressing this frustration. nor do I condemn those who feel that facing up to abusive authority is not productive. I do feel that they are badly mistaken, however.

Pure speculation on your part. And it is not right, is just like saying every person that owns a firearm is dangerous. And your accusation, that the officers involved are not telling the truth. Your no better than the Anti-gun Grabbers.

How can you say he didn't? Other than to say the police are lying, which is what I would expect from some BLM activist. People need to stop and think. If you want to put an end to this "Red Flag" law then you need to gather support. I'm sure the Police Union and Association are not happy with it. I'm sure the officers that went there didn't want to go.
I'm Anti-Gungrabber too
I have seen more personal stuff on MDS today than I have in a long time.

I think Rabbi , is just stating facts . I don't see how he accused , he sure is not an anti .
I have never been a fan of name calling or putting people down , maybe if someone comes after me .
We should leave the digs out of discussions IMHO
Although you may disagree with his post I can assure you the he and his lovely wife are the furthest thing from antis or gun grabbers and are the type of folk that you would want in your fox hole if SHTF. Man up and apologize.

I would wonder if that would withstand legal challenge; as long as you are in public, I don't think they can restrict you.
