Dave:
With all due respect I don't think ANY topic that deals with the anti's attempt at gun contol should be anywhere other than in the mainstream of this forum. Their goal is to try and bury this information much as the "mainstream news media" buries attempts and supress the facts about Operation Fast and Furious.
The anti's will maintain that these forums should be devoid of "political" commentary and only discuss firearms. Their reasoning here is obvious.
It's your forum and you can certainly do as you wish. However anytime you relegate posts related to "Gun Control" to misfires you're playing right into the anti's hands
It's a technique they've used since Day One to get pro gun posts suppresed.
IMO: You are doing what everyone who want's to keep and maintain our rights a major diservice.

I agree Jim, gun control is not a misfire topic.

Maybe gun rights issues should have a separate forum. If it did, I would not see that as being out of the "mainstream". But we do separate guns for sale from discussions about guns, and IMO that is of benefit to the BB as a whole.

Why is it that anyone who disagrees with you is an anti? What kind of BS is that?
Dave is not playing into the anti's hands.
Cut is out with the histrionics. It's tiresome.
And move it!

Say what? Dave is doing a disservice to users of this forum?? His forum, his rules, entirely up front and reasonable, always a wonderful service to users. The moved topic subject is here, prominently flagged as moved, with a link to the new location.
I think Dave should move this thread too.

We are,purportedly anyway,all gun owners and gun collectors and when a subject such as gun control on a gun oriented forum is taken out of the mainstream it is IMO a disservice to everyone.
I put essentially the same informative post on other gun/militaria collecting forums and no one on these forums seems to have a problem with it.

"Purportedly"? Hmmm, I need to think on this a while ... what other word beginning with a "p" comes to mind? Tiresome, indeed.

But we do separate guns for sale from discussions about guns, and IMO that is of benefit to the BB as a whole. I have no issues with your proposal if you mean a separate area on this forum. However; I have this identical post on other gun oriented forums without anyone taking issue with it. Jim
