Thanks for the informative reply Keith!Keith B wrote:This forum prides itself on being a friendly place to calmly discuss isssues related to CHL, firearms and those related topics. The Political Section is for political issues related to guns and gun ownership, not an open political discussion section on all topics. The thread was not locked becuase it had those words; the thread was locked because we do not allow topics to be discussed that are hot-button topics not related to guns or gun ownership and the impact of the issue on those specific items. If you want to discuss those topics, there are plenty of other forums to do it on, but not here.No Bama Man wrote:I understand keeping the peace.

They are just keeping the Peace.
My avatar is just a symbol of my dislike of him as our president. Thats not allowed? The reason for my question to Mr. Cotton was because I was shocked to find a thread discussing Medina's stance on the gay marriage issue as printed in the published voter's guide locked because it involed the words gay marriage. Wouldn't it be a shame if they would not allow that question or the candidates response to be published because it was about gay marriage?
Playing Devils Advocate here, but is it possible to have a subforum for political discourse? We're all intelligent folks here and I always love to discuss politics in an environment where reasonable discussions could occur. And this forum, by far, has the most mature, well mannered user base I have ever seen. There have been some political topics that I've wanted to share, but have refrained as it was not gun related.
This way, it is exclusive from general discussions, so those who do not wish to read it could skip right over it.
If it's not possible, totally cool. I just figured I would ask!
oh, and I have some great recipes if anyone wants them!
