Allow me to be the first. OffWithTheirHeads Jun 2012 #1
One thought, though: if #2 and #3 together get more votes than #1 or #4, should petronius Jun 2012 #2
Hmmm.... good point. krispos42 Jun 2012 #3
Change is progressive. ileus Jun 2012 #4
If you wish to safeinOhio Jun 2012 #5
I agree. n/t NewMoonTherian Jun 2012 #7
I wouldn't have any issue with that. Kaleva Jun 2012 #8
I suggest a poll safeinOhio Jun 2012 #9
You might need to contact skinner about that idea. Kaleva Jun 2012 #10
It looks like that functionality just became available petronius Jun 2012 #22
That's something that the Admins can do. I cannot. krispos42 Jun 2012 #11
I enjoy general gun chat, but I'd rather have it somewhere else. Glaug-Eldare Jun 2012 #6

The best way to save this group safeinOhio Jun 2012 #13
This group needs no saving. Its doing fine. aikoaiko Jun 2012 #29

There are plenty of gun forums that cover many aspects of firearms. bluerum Jun 2012 #15

This is exactly what I hoped for all along. Atypical Liberal Jun 2012 #23
Kick rrneck Jun 2012 #24
Second that idea. discntnt_irny_srcsm Jun 2012 #31
This looks like it could be a nail biter! Kaleva Jun 2012 #25
Have you consulted the Admins about any of this? ellisonz Jun 2012 #26
The poll is to see if a majority of regulars support a change to the SOP Kaleva Jun 2012 #27
This looks a heck of a lot like "full speed ahead" ellisonz Jun 2012 #28
Do whatcha gotta do bro. OriginalGeek Jun 2012 #30

What exactly bothers you so much about ... aikoaiko Jun 2012 #34
It's because he don't know anything about them. oneshooter Jun 2012 #36
That's not what DU has ever been about in the past. n/t ellisonz Jun 2012 #41
Many Democrats own guns. Kaleva Jun 2012 #42
There are thousands of sites where you obsess over guns. ellisonz Jun 2012 #72
This is Democratic Underground Kaleva Jun 2012 #73
Ok aikoaiko Jun 2012 #45
Still tryin' t'be a playah... rrneck Jun 2012 #33
No. krispos42 Jun 2012 #44

"or of petitioning the Admins for a SoP change." ellisonz Jun 2012 #54
I'm planning on formally posting in meta... krispos42 Jun 2012 #62
Why not start a new group for "Gun Enthusiast"? Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #35
or add some traffic to outdoor life or sports. gejohnston Jun 2012 #37
Lots of good points, as usual Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #39
I wouldn't have an issue with prohibiting the posting of pictures of guns Kaleva Jun 2012 #40

See reply #44. krispos42 Jun 2012 #46
Your desperation is showing Starboard Tack. aikoaiko Jun 2012 #49
Pro-RKBA is not pro-carry. Nice try. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #58
Umm no, gejohnston Jun 2012 #59
More desperation: license to carry a loaded handun EVERYWHERE!!!111!! aikoaiko Jun 2012 #60
"I'm a right of center Democrat" says it all. It's a big tent. We need you. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #63
That's funny because I meant to write left of center. aikoaiko Jun 2012 #64
Sure, the bans on ownership are pointless anyway. Pure tokenism. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #65
"Gun Enthusiasm" is discussion of RKBA and Gun Control. aikoaiko Jun 2012 #50
I agree. Also, I stole your idea in a new OP. Sorry! DanTex Jun 2012 #51
My opinion is that a single, inclusive Group to talk about all aspects of petronius Jun 2012 #52
Allowing technical topics will dilute the forum from the discussion of legal rights SkatmanRoth Jun 2012 #43
Quite the opposite- many laws are based on technical aspects of guns aikoaiko Jun 2012 #47
The example of Rep McCarthy is about laws concerning guns SkatmanRoth Jun 2012 #66
True, but understanding firearms better in the first place may lead to fewer silly laws... aikoaiko Jun 2012 #68
I cringe at the thought of 'Lounge' like activities when I want to know about ownership rights SkatmanRoth Jun 2012 #69
One could argue that the AWB was a disaster because of the lack of knowledge about guns Kaleva Jun 2012 #48
Yes, the AWB was a law that confused cosmetic features with functionality SkatmanRoth Jun 2012 #67
The proposed extension has nothing to do with "Justice & Public Safety" muriel_volestrangler Jun 2012 #55
I don't think you could put discusions about guns for self defense under "Recreation" Kaleva Jun 2012 #56
On the other hand, an inclusive group in J & PS reiterates that the main focus petronius Jun 2012 #57

The two-group option seems to be the better option. ManiacJoe Jun 2012 #71
I find the two group option interesting Kaleva Jun 2012 #74
kick-about 12 hours to go. Kaleva Jun 2012 #75
I might have been willing to support the two-group option, if only its supporters hadn't stooped to Common Sense Party Jun 2012 #76
I would suggest though, that those with 'Two-groups' as their first choice should petronius Jun 2012 #77
Expand the SoP in a different way discntnt_irny_srcsm Jun 2012 #78
You were about the only one supporting such an idea during the 1st poll Kaleva Jun 2012 #79
I will start a poll asking if others can accept this: discntnt_irny_srcsm Jun 2012 #80
