I don't visit here anymore for Luger advice as I did 10+yrs ago.
Sure I like looking at the pretty ones, however I come here now more in a sense of Family ties. I've met members face-to-face, and have had good interactions through PMs with others. I now come mostly to see how ya'll are doin'.
As with any Family Member, I want to see what's best for them all. In today's world of Micro-managed Media coverage, you don't always get the facts. My "Hobby" for quite some time has been delving into alternative news sources in order to have a more informed picture of things that are NOT EVER mentioned by the MSM.
I enjoy sharing what I've found with those close to me. The 3 guys I work with have been infected by my Hobby, and we swap whatever new info we've recently found on a daily basis, it's gratifying !
As Firearms enthusiasts, there are many issues that affect us directly. Living in a padded bubble, may be comforting to some. I however want to go into each new day with an understanding of what I may actually face. The full-court-press IS on to take your "Semi-automatic Magazine-fed" weapons. Do you think there will be an exception for Lugers ??? Most here would be accused of having a "Vast Arsenal" of Military Grade Weapons by the MSM.
Do you know that the Mayor of New Orleans has just decreed that sales and TRANSPORTATION of weapons is now illegal ? It's coming to a town near you soon. Keep your eye on Virginia !
I look at this thread, and I see the concern of a Family about it's members. Also, I now know more about the lives of the folks behind the Avatars. Having an Adult interaction about topics should NOT be scary, or unsettling. The key-word is "ADULT" ! No one is forcing anyone to click on a thread, much less read it once they find it onerous. Censorship has it's place, such as keeping pornography away from children. Here in the USA, the Majority often suffers due to the whims of a Vocal Minority.
I do dare say, ... that traffic on this site would double, if there were a sub-forum where members could share their concerns about, ... whatever. The Owners of this site, and the Moderators have the last word about it's character, PERIOD !
