1. There are topics that are restricted from GD. Guns is one of them.

2. This just seemed to meet the SOP

"News stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about efforts to strengthen or weaken gun control legislation in any jurisdiction in the United States, national news stories (and related content) from reputable mainstream sources about high-profile gun crimes, and viral political content from social media or blogs that would likely be of interest to a large majority of DU members are permitted under normal circumstances.

Local stories about gun crime and "gun porn" threads showing pictures of guns or discussing the merits of various firearms are not permitted under normal circumstances and should be posted in the Gun Control and RKBA Group."

=====

Reputable main stream media, national story, of interest to a large majority (okay maybe the last is iffy but when two major causes of death swap places I'd think it of interest).

I repeat, the host is ALWAYS right and trying to herd the cats in GD is a massive undertaking so I have no complaint whatsoever. I've seen explanations like "local story" or "not meeting SOP try #### or &&&& group but on this one. Probably shouldn't have wondered out loud . . .

4. Never mind, I'm deleting the OP because I've had second thoughts about

being seen as questioning some of the hardest working people on DU.
