Hi all. I know all about the 2nd amendment, but cannot someone do something to stop this disgusting rubbish?

Yes, . . . and no. Google could do something about it but they choose not to (and when they have acted it has been to nuke a whole group on their system rather than addressing the specific problem).
As PJ suggested, you just need to mark the messages as spam and Google will hide it from you, but every user has to individually flag the message - there is no threshhold where if enough users flag a post they will quit showing it to everyone.
Just a reminder that the second amendment applies to the United States only. It does not apply here in Canada, where I live, or elsewhere. That said it doesn't mean I don't find the spam offensive - I do. As much as I would personally like to see suchposts permanently removed, I do the next best thing. I flag them as spam and so I don't see them.
