MisFire Forum @ doublegunshop.com for all off topic posts

Thank you,

PS - Sorry it took a while to add this forum. It is deer season and I have been out as often as possible. Still now deer but I am working on it!

PSS - If on occassion; I spy off topic posts in the primary forums and I have free time...I will move them to the new forum.

Davey-Boy, you are indeed the "Head Fred" on this BBS thingy. Wise move, might need to define "Off Topic"- my read: Anything that doesn't pertain to side-by-side doubles and the shooting thereof. RWTF

There's someone waiting for you there Foxey....

That's for the "Heads Up"- he'd best have his schmidt together and be able to pack it and stack it= Green Light- stand up and hook up!! RWTF

Big mistake Dave. You have a successful Forum that is not broken. Your "fix" isn't necessary and will lead to quibbling about "what is and what isn't" rather than the free exchange of unencumbered information.

I recently posted some stuff about choke boring as published in a 1718 Portuguese book --The Perfect Gun--that was pretty clearly on topic. But what if I had posted sections of the book about the secular and religious filter the manuscript had to pass through for publication? For example, the published "Licenses From the Holy Office" and the approval of the King's "Ordinary" at the front:

"I have seen the book entitled The Perfect Gun and can see nothing in it that might offend faith or morality...{and}...give authorization for the printing of the book ...and when printed it shall return for comparison to receive permission for its issue, without which it shall not be issued." (signed) a high church official.

"...and since it contains nothing which is against Your Majesty's laws, I hold it is worthy of being printed..." (signed) The Magistrate...

The Second Amendment is always a hot topic on doublegunshop.com

Now the First Amendment gets trashed (MisFire Forum = "Trash Bin") to protect the delicate sensibilities of...who?, who, for the most part, have little or nothing to contribute. Look at the quality of the posts above this one. Are these posts protected? What did they actually say in relation to double guns? Methinks you have started down the slippery slope while shooting yourself in the foot. Why you would devote any of your valuable time to becoming "Deputy Dog" is a puzzlement. EDM

I agree with Dave, The problem will be getting this trivia (and worst) properly posted there.

I wholeheartedly agree with EDM on this. BTW: Obamas nominee for AG will be the most anti-gun occupant of that office since Janet Reno as he was her point man in that area.
He is the guy from the AG office that went before the Supreme Court and argued that the 2nd Amendment is NOT an individual right when the hearings were being conducted. We are going to collectively be in for the fight of our lives to maintain our rights and our childrens rights over the next 4 years.
The new "assault weapons ban" and closing the non-existent "gun show loophole" will be just the start of Obamas "sensible gun laws".
Burying a subject such as this in an off topic area is a mistake in my opinion.

Walter ol'chum, some of us find many things trivial - but so damn what! If it isn't your bag, move on down the line 'til you spot something you can put your teeth in.
Really Walter, I find your brand of gun as "trivia."
So there!

Lowell, you make my point, thank you! BTW We have no rights here. We post by the grace of Dave Weber. Any futher comment by me will be on the new OT section.

Walt: The 2nd Amendment only obtains to those who have the medium, be it printing press, radio, TV, and now the Internet. But as to posting thanks to the "grace" of somebody, being reminded of this makes it less fun. Too much less fun makes for a dull Forum, where conversation is reduced to quibbling about entry-level content...boring. EDM
