I love the posts and topics that comprise this board, no matter how much they digress from the hobby itself. (Note my over-involvement in sports-related discourse) Nevertheless, discussion of firearms seems to me to be beyond the pale. I carried a rifle for 13 months in Nam, and I personally find discussion of sidearms repugnant in this venue. From my personal vantage point, knowing that I will get tremendous abuse for this, Mr. Heston would support us all being armed, while he would also castigate us all equally for involving ourselves in this hobby. Carrying arms is an ambiguous Second Amendment right at best, but discussion of it seems most out of place on this particular board. Violence and sexual encounters should not be conflated, unless that is your particular obsession. Again, this is just my opinion. Talk of guns should be held elsewhere. It is not manly; it is just evil and pernicious.
