Apologies to PeteM for any confusion I may have caused but stand by my request this thread be moved to Misfires, I hate to think we'll allow this board to be destroyed the way SSMBBS was by allowing political discussions to rip us apart. There are too many alternatives to using this board for other than the discussion of shotguns.

Cary, There were quite a few political discussions right here in the shotgun forum during the past election cycle and we did not become "ripped apart". It is unfortunate our discussions here and elsewhere just wasn't enough to turn the tide against the current administration, so once again we are on the defensive. Jim (itialiansxs) has been a consistant defender of our Second Amendment rights, so when peter m. took him to task, I immediately thought of p-mag who thankfully seems to have left us. If an anti gun troll like p-mag leaves our company, that is not "ripped apart", that is a small victory. Unfortunately, politics and guns, even two-barreled guns, are intimately entwined so burying our heads in the sand and ignoring the coming storm could help the anti's get us to the point where discussing our old shotguns is all we have left. Dave Weber is obviously intelligent enough to see that. Stuff about dog training collars, or decoy collecting, or the like should probably go to the Misfires forum, though my effective solution to off topic items was to simply not read what did not interest me. The stuff that may well affect our very right to posess and shoot our doubles belongs front and center, right here where the majority spend their time.

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
