Well, HD, what would you suggest as topics for another misfires?

Question: is it only me, or are there other members of the board who feel it could be a good idea to leave Misfires as the political soap box and start another free-topic forum for everything else? Well, so far, after 4 days, I think it is only you. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I think what HD meant was that there was no place on the board to discuss friendly/personal things like your dogs, hunting, fishing and outdoor adventures, family, friends, things like that. They really dont belong in the Questions & Answers Forum. However, since the Misfires Forum is so politicized I dont think that many people feel comfortable putting friendly/personal material like that there, I know I dont.

While clearly against Misfires rules, personal attacks emanate from a poisonous politicization of literally everything posted here. It's not characteristic of Americans or gun owners either because other boards provide information, assistance, camaraderie without foul language, rudeness, racism and misogyny.

I opt for leaving misfire as a single page. If you don't like the postings there, don't go there.
As for attacks I always argue for civility and will do my best to avoid taking part in any. I have found more reasons to like the guys who frequent this website than causes to separate us. I understand we do have differences, it is sad we all can't find a way to politely discuss.
As for politics as a subject, I myself generally avoid it as my trade keeps my emotions in check

The reason that the Misfires Forum was created was to give Italiansxs his own forum and keep him off the main board. For the most part it has been pretty successful. I just did a quick review of ths guys "contributions" to this forum. Pretty pitiful! Maybe he'd like a forum on Barbie doll collecting as I expect that would be right up his alley. My primary thrust in the Misfires section is protecting our gun rights and what to do when there is attempted infringemet. If ANYONE here doesn't like or support this well that's just tough! In doing so in Misfires I have supported Dave Webers position to keep anything political out of this area other than the approved informational thread. If I post anything over there you don't like DON'T READ IT!

sxs: what gives you the right to protect our gun rights? if you want to protect your gun rights, then have at it...but, please do tolerate the rest of us to protect our gun rights as we see fit, which may not necessarily be in agreement with your views.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

I have ed "Mr Torch" above on my ignore list since he never posts anything useful anyway . However; I did take the opportunity to send him a PM I personally think its a shame Dave ever let him back on here. Jim
