According to Joan Peterson, the Chair of the Board of Protect Minnesota – the local anti-gun group here in Minnesota – and a board member of the Brady Campaign – in her most recent comment – here’s the reason why she won’t publish your comments:
you have no idea what kind of comments I receive because I don’t publish so many of them. It is just too hard to deal with the continued demeaning comments and those that are not relevant and miss the point.
I publish the ones that seem to make a point or don’t ask me questions in a snarky or accusatory fashion. Many times I answer what you guys ask me in another post. But most of the time, I tell you what I am all about and what I want to do about it in my post.
There is no sense in fighting about this stuff. You all resist even the most reasonable of gun laws without cause. You ( not necessarily you personally) don’t seem to care about the victims, and indeed, often deride them or make rude remarks about them.
We all, meaning me, Baldr, Mike, and the many others who blog on my side, just tire of the offensive comments. It leads to nothing but acrimony.
We so obviously disagree on so many levels that it doesn’t seem possible to have a decent “discussion.” Besides, as I have pointed out, you represent a small minority of Americans. The rest agree with me- even gun owners and 75% of NRA members. So the point is to get Congress to do the right thing because you and some of my readers will never agree with me.
In other words, I won’t publish your comments because you disagree with me.
I’m now up to one hundred and thirty-four comments that she has refused to publish.

She even lies in that post. The NRA and 75% of Americans agree with her gun control fascism?
There’s apparently no shame in her.
Riley Johnson liked this on Facebook.
There are none so blind as those who will not to see. There’s an announcement on the freeway signs now, “1 in 4 highway deaths are caused by a drunken driver.” Probably true. 3 in 4 highway deaths are caused, then, by sober drivers. Pay attention!
Yeah, while I fully expect Joan may draw the occasional Kazinski out of the North Woods…using her own paranoia as an excuse not to accept comments is looney tunes!
Keep up keeping up with Joan! I just love the gun grabbers nutty Aunt in the attic. Have you seen the latest insanity from here trip to Greece!? It double proves she’s a total liar and has no clue as to (supposed) US citizens carrying outside the US.
