National Forum for gun related topics only

[RoyJackson]

I'm suggesting PAFOA create a National Forum that would pertain to gun related topics only.
As we pro-rights folks have a pretty tough battle ahead of us, it is, IMHO, essential we focus on federal anti-rights agendas.
A forum dedicated to gun rights only could be beneficial on keeping our focus.

A good case could be made that many matters in national politics relate to gun owners in an indirect way, and are equally important to discuss. Hence why I prefer the term "gun owners' rights" to "gun rights".

Case in point are Fourth Amendment abuses. While not specifically a pro-gun/anti-gun issue, government actions that abuse constitutional standards on searches and seizures ultimately impact gun owners.

Actually, it's this lack of focus on gun-related issues that will get us in the end, but that's another rant for another day.

So while I don't enjoy reading a new thread every day about "OMG WTF ILEEGLE IMAGRINTS R HERE OMG OMG!", I'll take the good with the bad in the National Politics forum.

Gun rights can't be an island in a sea of tyranny. Even though the 2nd is the most important, all of these god given, self evident rights are interlinked. If you ignore 10th amendment issues, you are also ignoring 2nd amendment issues. Don't lose sight of the whole picture.

The 2nd amendment is the most important only because it is a defender of the remaining rights, but as I learned only recently, so is the 10th which I see as "the State's 2nd."

Montana's house bill "Weapons made in Montana that stay in Montana are not subject to federal controls" is a very good example.

Also the "OMG WTF ILEEGLE IMAGRINTS" stuff is gun related because we should be shooting them as they enter the country.

The forums mainly need to be reorganized a bit for better categorization. When I redid them a couple months ago, the Law & Politics section is the only one I skipped over until I could come up with a better idea.
