No one takes issue with your post Jim ... only issue is with you castigating Dave over moving it to the other forum, which lists "gun rights" as one of its intended topics.

Definition Castigate: to subject to severe punishment, reproof, or criticism Excuse me G C: But I have certainly not "castigated" Dave. Go back and READ my post. I have just taken issue with his position of allowing complaints from "certain factions" here to apparently influence what appears in the mainstream area of this forum. BTW: Here is essentially the same initial post that I made here on the Werhmacht Awards Forum in their firearms section. This forum is very large with over 31,000 members. The moderators thought that getting this information publicized was important enough to PIN the thread. NONE of the membership has expressed any issues with posting the information. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=571500

I agree with Dave Weber, this is not the right forum for the Starbuck's post. The Mis-Fire section is fine for it. Perhaps if it had been about Starbuck's policies on carrying in a double gun I would think it belonged here. Maybe if the local Vintagers had been meeting at Starbucks for a show-and-tell of old doubles and the antis were protesting that practice then this would be the right forum. My opinion.
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.

It's posted on the forum; anyone who wants to read it can read it. What's the problem?

Unfortunately many feel that they only fight back when it concerns "their" gun and could care less about other gun owners.
To paraphrase Pastor Niemoller;
"First they came for.......(insert handguns,black rifles) and I didn't speak as I only had double guns."
Then they came for my double and there was no one left to speak for me.

Another vote for Misfires forum for such posts or, if available in the future, a new 'gun rights' forum. There's such a broad range of double gun related topics e.g., history, technicana, valuation, hunting, performance, etc... that get covered on this forum that it deserves to be kept closer to the intended subject matter as stated in its description. Folks who want to post or read about related topics such as gun rights, politics, militaria, pistols, etc... have a place to do so which is one click away on the same platform that serves the 'double gun' readership.

Ok, sorry, castigate may be too strong a word Jim. But I think it's closer to accurate than saying Dave has done gun rights supporters "a major diservice" (sic). Managing this forum to meet his previously established rules* is no grounds for criticism -- it's merely consistent and fair.

Jay:
I understand your point. However; I feel the same way about our gun rights as Dave K has stated above. I don't own or collect "Black" rifles. But I want to be aware of efforts to make these illegal to own and also want to support those who do collect them.
The gun grabbers have always tried to use the divide and conquor approach. The whole assault weapons ban was just a first step in their plans to ultimately get all firearms banned.
The lead shot bans,which I think strike closer to home here, are just another way of curtailing firearms use and ownership by pricing ammunition out of reach for the average person.
It's the same situation with putting an ID number on every bullet sold. Imagine the cost of this to the purchaser.
At one time when I lived in Illinois you had to show your FOID every time you so much as bought a box of ammo. Your name and address had to be logged by the clerk selling it as well.
If some of you think that bringing anti-gun owner activities to everyone's attention here is counter productive to this forum just because it doesn't have a direct affect on their interests so be it.

The Werhmacht Awards Forum??? WTF is a ref to a slimeball pack of Nazi MFers that makes your post legitimate here??
Even having that link on this board is more damning than anything I'd care to see here.
