TDFbound 0 #1 October 17, 2012 I'm new here and noticed a rule stating that discussion of politics, guns, or religion are not tolerated except in this sub-forum. How the heck are firearms in the same category as politics or religion? The way I see it, they are just cool tech gadgets as part of a fun hobby- collecting and shooting various firearms. How is a rifle any different from a new wingsuit, or iPod, or sports car, or woodworking tools? I guess what I am looking for is the reasoning behind placing guns in the same category as politics and religion, because I don't get it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,120 #3 October 17, 2012 >How the heck are firearms in the same category as politics or religion? Because some people seem to get very angry when posting about such topics. Many years ago all non-skydiving discussions took place in Bonfire, and many of the forum's users got annoyed by the endless politics/guns/religion arguments that took over that forum. Thus Willem created a new forum - Speaker's Corner - specifically for those topics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
