• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

It certainly does raise the question, has this guy ever actually talked to a gun owner? I've know more than a couple in my short enough life, and most of them are fairly intelligent folks. Sure, there are a few morons with firearms out there, but like any dangerous hobby they tend to weed themselves out.
