After elections I hope these threads are done

[gun_slinger_boy]

I realize we are very close to election day but boy I sure do hope these political threads die down after. We all know how corrupt the one candidate is and how much they lie. We also know that the other is the best choice. But until we have a smoking gun that proves all of this and something actually comes of it, all of these threads "revealing" how bad the liar is is just redundant. Looking at the "New Posts" tab, this forum actually looks like that other one. Let's not be like that other one.

Depends who wins. Personally, If Clinton wins, I'm going dark. The only thing I will post on the Internet will be related to Unicorns and Rainbows. What will you be discussing. Your picture of a banned rifle? That will be interesting.

Here is a thought, lets talk about firearms.

I have to respond to this.

There is a section called law and politics. Those that want to post in these threads and talk about them do so under that one section. They aren't posting politics under the general firearms section nor are they doing so under the long guns section.

I don't care much for picture threads, random talks of the day, polymer lowers, hunting, revolvers, blades, ect so I don't click on them even if they appear under the new posts section.

Because someone doesn't like politics, nothing stops them from not using the new posts button and going to the firearms section directly and clicking on a subsection. When you do so, the new posts of that firearms section are highlighted.

My point is that because you don't like a certain topic, it's not right to not want someone else to post about it when there are ways to avoid them as described above and when no one is posting politics in a firearms section.

Until the moderators remove the politics section entirely, those that do not like politics cannot complain about those that like politics and post politics.

The firing line, the high road, ect are gun forums that do not have politics sections.

I get that you don't care for them but what about people that don't care for the preparedness section? Do they have the same argument as you do when they see those posts?

 

[Marine Cpl]

Another trend I see is that those that do not like politics but rather only want to see firearms topics, never post new threads in the firearms section.

How come those that do not like politics don't post about their experiences with a certain long gun? How come they don't ask questions about the ammo they use in a certain firearm? How come they don't post about Mossberg's or Remington's new rifle? How come they don't provide range reports of the firearms they use?

If they did so, the new posts button will contain those firearms posts.

You have to be active in the sections you like.

The SAD FACT is: Gun Ownership IS political in New York. Coming soon the 46 other states where it is not.

YES YES YES. I thought this had become NY firearms again! i guess it is bound to happen.....same people same shit!

. What will you be discussing. Your picture of a banned rifle? That will be interesting.

YES.

Here is a thought, lets talk about firearms.

please please please.

sorry @GOYABEAN but i am gonna add you to my "ignore list" simple cause you post the most doom and gloom. lemme see how the political postings look then.

i have just found out that the ignore function is awesome on this site. you do not see anything from the people on the list....nothing. even if they are quoted it does not show.

try it. it has been great for the last few days with my newest ignore filter on.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Ironically, those 2 people that are against politics have never created a new thread about guns themselves.

Just saying.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Will,

Not saying that you do, but I don't live on this forum. I like to logon and see what's new. What are the things people are talking about most. I really don't the have time to go through every sub forum in the entire site to see what tickles my fancy. And what if you do happen to have read just about every thread there is? Then the only new content is, you guessed it. New posts. I might not be the biggest thread starter but that's not needed to be part of a forum. I do however love to contribute to others' threads. It's kind of tough to talk about guns and accessories no one else can have anyhow. Yes I know. There are other forums but for the most part they suck.

ETA: I will gladly start a new thread later tonight and am eager to see it's reception

i use the "new post" button. i generally do not go to individual forums.

 

[E the massive]

Don't be sad buddy, I will read your posts twice. Gotta do something at work.

Just saying.

I hate the political threads and have created numerous threads, even successfully petition for a new subsection.

You don't discuss this stuff, eventually you won't have a gun to discuss on any forum.

[BerettaGuy]

Well, I for one would rather discuss the current events of the day with the people here that I know are like minded. If you want Unicorns and Rainbows, try Facebook.

What's being discussed exactly? Just a bunch of links from dubious sources with stories that may or may not be true and won't affect the outcome anyway. I don't need to hem and haw and harrumph all the time and have my fellows virtually pat my back and there there me. We are all of one mind here Hillary is an evil corrupt would be despot and she is going to be the next president. All this political talk is like watching a toddler trying to tightrope walk over a shark infested whirlpool on a windy day. Like that this whole spectacle is something I can't bear to witness. Unless somone has a post on where the rally point is I will stay out of the political section as much as possible.

Exactly. That's how it should be.

 

[Podmonkey]

Its all a bunch of fucking bullshit. We've completely fucked up this country. The world is fucked.

 

[holdover]

Whos driving the bus? Its an election year with probably 3 supreme court justices to decide the future of our country including your 2 A. Politics, Not the law will not decide the future of our country . The FBI is rigged The DOJ is rigged , The DNC is rigged, all of whom have committed crimes against this country And ALL of which have bearing on our 2 A rights , and whether we will be able to keep them or not. So if you go into the barn or the basement and fiddle with your toys (like we all do) You need to pay attention to what is happening in this country. you cant watch the news a half hour a day and 10 years from now and say what the hell happened? what happened is people weren't paying attention to what's going on in the country. So whos driving the bus? You were.

 

[Criticalt]

My only gripe is the threads that just start as a link. Use your words, "hey, did you hear about this?..........."
Then maybe make one sentence with your opinion on the topic.

Nobodies driving the bus. Were all sitting in it and Hillary is pushing it over a cliff while all of DC looks on and laughs its ass off

 

[holdover]

So the best course of action is

A) Pay attention to whats happening,
B) Make sure everybody is on the same page just in case
C) nothing.

The best title for the above paragraph is
A) Communicate information with like minded people
B) What are ramifications of a criminal enterprise co-opting the government
C) Nothing we can do , might as well just lie down and accept it.

I hear

Ya, but that also requires people to post more gun topics otherwise the new post tab may just show crickets..

 

[Marine Cpl]

Due to the politics section here, I know of a number of members who have since changed their opinion on who they will be voting for.

For example, some didn't see the angle of Hillary appointing a minimum of 3 Supreme Court Justices that will reverse gun rights decisions and will now vote for Trump based solely on that.

 

[swilliams]

I hear you, and I'm a bit sick of politics at this point, but when I click on the 'New Posts' tab on the main page, I get only 7 out of 30 new posts that are even IN the politics section. That's less than a quarter. Quit yer bitchin'. (I must be PMS'ing. Feel free to ignore me.)

 

[Dr. Evil]

Pretty simple to me.

1. Post threads that you want to post in the proper sections.

2. Read the threads you want to from your favorite sections.

3. Use the ignore feature at your discretion.

What overall experience people have on here will be dictated by those three simple instructions. Beyond that, if you're still not happy, I guess you won't be on much.

 

[holdover]

There's just to much political discussions in the politics section!!

Just how reasonable does that sound?

 

[Catskillkid]

Just spend more time in the bar. That should mellow everyone out.

 

[GOPerfect]

Hell, I think we are doing well in regards to discussing guns, Hunting, Survival and the like.

Sure, lots and lots of political talk as well, but I have really enjoyed the guns and stuff talk.

I have posted questions about topics that I was unsure of and the amount of responses have been awesome. (Gun Stuff)

I spend much of my time here in the Politics threads because as of right now, it is the most important thing going on.
There is nothing more important to us as Americans than the results of this Presidential election. NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
