DKos Military Veterans
Are you a veteran of the armed services? Well, hop right in - the purpose of this group is to discuss issues of interest to U.S. military vets. There are many vets (and active duty military) who actually do have a progressive political mindset. Need to know who to call when you need some help? Have a question about the VA Healthcare system (the best socialist healthcare available in America)? Got some benefit news? Or just need to vent? Then, you've come to the right place...

Firearms and Social Responsibility
The Firearms and Social Responsibility group is designed promote discussion of firearms topics in a manner that avoids the toxicity and hostility that currently pervades diaries on firearms topics. The group is co-administered by Shamash and Joy of Fishes, who represent moderate views on gun rights and gun control, respectively. For now, all discussion will be through group Kosmail. The rules may evolve over time, but at the moment are fairly simple:

rule 1: The gr...

Firearms Law and Policy
To advocate effectively for repeal or passage of firearms legislation we must first know and understand current law and policy, and how both are implemented, where we live. There is enormous variability across the country; the relative utility/relative risk of firearms is different on a 500 acre ranch in Montana than for a 1000 square foot apartment in New York. State and local laws reflect that diversity. We will discuss firearms law and policy with an emphasis on the many historical ethics an...

Repeal or Amend the Second Amendment (RASA)
Our group promotes informed discussion about repealing, re-interpreting, or amending the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, following the infamous Scalia-led decisions in Heller and McDonald. Re-interpretation under a Democratic-majority Supreme Court might be easiest. If that is not possible, then repeal or amendment may be the last recourse. (This is not the same as banning guns. Gun regulation could e....

VAGV - Veterans Against Gun Violence
This group is being started to make aware that veterans in this group are behind the President and legislators trying to end gun violence in America. You do not need to be a veteran to join. Military families and many veterans are tired of the rhetoric of the NRA speaking for them. Please join and create some ideas to help further the President and VP Biden's worthwhile effort to help make our citizens's safer. Many veterans agree more needs to be done to stop Gun Violence.
