If anyone bothers to read this-
Sticky: READ this > HOW to use the 2A Forum
you will see that it says this:
Note the subtitle of this forum is "2nd Amendment Issues & Discussion".
Ideally, we should see nothing here that does not pertain directly to protection of or expansion of 2nd Amendment RIGHTS.
That means this forum is about LEGISLATION and responses from legislators or the actions of legislators or about carry permit laws and issues.
/\ Read that AGAIN /\
Ask yourself if your thread fits one of those topics!
We are having to move too many threads.
LINKS:
Don't post a bare link and say "You gotta see this!".
Tell me WHY I gotta see this with a paragraph or two.
That is the start of a discussion.
Posting a bare link is merely creating an internet index.
Any link posted should pertain directly to protection of or expansion of 2nd Amendment RIGHTS.
If your link gets deleted, you either failed to describe its value, or it does not meet our standards.
This is NOT:
This is not where you post general political discussion and comments on OTHER issues not related to the 2A. Other issues are the economy, Obamacare, libs in general, tinfoil and black choppers, how to start a revolution, etc, etc.
Keep it focused on the 2A issues.
This is not for the latest news about some scumbag shooting someone or getting arrested with a gun.
This is not where you post your latest AR or AK.
This is not for discussing gun and ammo prices or availability.
This is not where you post which movie stars or talking heads are currently bashing the 2nd Amendment.
This is not for the latest news on a gunowner using a gun lawfully for self dense, unless it is simply an OUTSTANDING situation that we can use in the halls of Congress.
This is not where you will fix everything wrong with our society.
What we SHOULD do here:
ALERT people to upcoming restrictive legislation at ANY level of government, and discuss and promote methods to fight it.
ALERT people to upcoming legislation (if any) that is supportive of gun rights, ownership, and usage or carry.
INFORM people on methods of being proactive in the fight, including encouragement to join the NRA or donate to it.
INFORM people on methods of fighting abuse of our rights. An example is the thread running about a newspaper publishing names and addresses of permit holders in New York. While that is legal, we all know it is meant to cause distress to those permit holders.
INFORM people on which legislators are pro gun and anti gun.
Post
real and accurate data that would be useful in the fight.
In the coming months, we will have plenty to talk about that is spot-on for this forum. Let's keep the clutter down, and stay focused on the object.
I'll also remind you to heed the rules for this board. You can find them at the top of this forum.
Especially note these two-
5. Do NOT even think about implying, wishing, or stating ANY kind of harm or misfortune should befall ANY elected government official.
If you want to talk to the Secret Service, just call them up and leave me out of the middle.
6. Derogatory, Flippant, or Crude names for any government official will NOT be tolerated.
Respect the OFFICE, if not the holder.
That means the President of the United States will be referred to as the President, or by the accepted usage of his last name or initials- 'Obama' or 'BHO'. Other government officials will be afforded the same courtesy.
Our country is in real trouble.
