Not sure if this has been brought up on NWFA yet but it may very well have been already. Feel free to move or delete if necessary. I joined this less than a week ago and it had 25k members. Now up to 96k members! If you haven't added yourself to this group yet, please do so now!

My Oregonian cousin asked some of us to join a Facebook page formed against a recent ban initiative (Petition 43) proposed there. Facebook blacked out his page, and has been restricting my notifications for the past couple of days. It also restricts and delays any articles I post from conservative sites.
I don't know why they bother. All of the Leftists I know do their own blocking and censoring. It's unnecessary, but characteristic that they don't trust the People to draw the Correct conclusions.

As expected, Facebook appears to be censoring any activity that conflists with their radical liberal agenda!

Don't expect to use Facebook effectively to oppose IP43.

Where do you get 96K members? I just joined (applied actually, haven't gotten a response yet that I am allowed in) and the page says there are only 67K members

Well, if they accept me, there will be 1 more.

After you get accepted to the page, then click on the 'members' tab - you'll see it's actually, as of this morning, up to over 108K members now. I saw the same number you did, before I joined, now it shows much higher.

That would be nice - but we need to reach opposition to IP43 on every single platform we can. Not everyone is interested in a site like NWFA. I dislike FB, but I am willing to get news from them at least. And adding to the growing numbers there can only benefit our cause. The more gun owners know about this crapfest the better. We need votes, a lot of votes, to stop this.

The page on FB is a private group - only open to members. My understanding is that since they're not a public page, the FB restrictions aren't as tight.

I am going to show my support in the fight against this stupidity that they are trying to shove down our throats. Not a big facebook fan either, but every number in every group against this and petition will count.

We need many irons in the fire on this issue. Although I don't care much for Facebook, I am willing for it to be one of many irons.

I did not know that the Facebook group that you referred to was a private group. As such, it is less likley to be reported to the FB monitors, since it isn't open to anti-gunners. The point I am making is that FB is actively taking down pro-2A activity on their platform, which is entirely predictable.

110k members now. Some peope may be set to not share their membership to groups with anyone not in those groups.

This is possible but the larger the group gets the harder it is to just shut down without backlash. That's why I find it important.

I would love to do so but linking to pro 2A pages outside of their platform is likely a quicker way to get Facebook involved n a negative way.

They became private because Rep Bill Post who is part of that group started receiving threats and anti gunners were beginning to pop up.
