Here's my take. I hate guns. Period. So I have no problem with the discussion of policy, them in relation to the news, and current events. But when it comes to 'Hey lets talk about what kinds of guns to play with' or where do you buy your ammo or 'hey lets shoot something or blow something up'. It's just not the type of conversation I want on the forum which I am the owner.
It's horriably biased but if you look at most thigs on the forum, there are very very few things which I'm biased about. Most (if not all) the OTHER forum mods are conservatives and I like that balance. I'm happy to have a good mix of views.
There are so VERY few topics which aren't permitted here, and the population of people wanting to talk guns is small, so hopefully you all will just respect me on this.

I understand completely, because I feel the same way.
Speaking for me, it's not because I think all gun owners are whack jobs or irresponsible or whatever. I have many close friends who are gun owners. My problem with guns is more visceral; at their core they are designed to kill things. Recognizing that others like to shoot them at targets, or hunt deer/elk (mmmm
), doesn't change that fact for me. I don't dislike people who own guns (although I do dislike the ones who are irresponsible), but in my core I hate guns.Just because Geoff (or I) hates guns doesn't mean we are some kind of stupid whack jobs, as some posts in here seem to imply...
