Is there not a section that allows political conversations involving firearms and the 2nd amendment?
I was banned on the fireline fourm because i posted a couple links to petitions to sign to let people know your thoughts on future gun control issues. I posted it and the post was locked and i told the moderator that i couldnt see any logical reason that he would lock a post like that. Ive chuckled in the past at that same moderator closing posts just because he didnt agree with someones opinion. Kind of comical how big some peoples egos are!! Sure no loss to me. I kind of feel like an outlaw as its the first time ive ever been banned from a fourm!
That is what Im saying...I mean the title of this thread section is "Politics Of Hunting And Guns (NOT General Politics)" so this would be where it goes (if the admin approves it). Somehow it lead to a conversation about a guys ****** hunting ethics and guys playing grab ***.

i guess we will let the fourm owner or moderator decide that. there free to decide what is important here and if needed delete this post anytime. Personaly like i said theres nothing more important to guys like most of us on here that buy and shoot guns then the issues happening around us right now. Sticking your head in the sand sure doesnt help anyone here. Maybe a suggestion for here would be to do something like the cast bullet forum does. Have a polititcal addition to the fourm. If you want to post or read it do so if you dont just dont look at that portion of the forum. Sure guys disagree there but your told before you click on it to wear your big boy pants. Again its only a suggestion. Im sure not here to tell anyone how to run there forum or to tell anyone what to do. If you knew me personaly youd know thats not the way i operate.[/QUOTE]
He don't I don't, in fact you are nothing but an electronic signature, just as I am.
I agree that current issues have brought the debate and ensuing legislation to the forefront but it's still not a reason to break any users agreement and if in the eyes of th moderator/owner, you did, it's their prerogative to remove you.
Chalk it up to experience and human nature and move on.....lightbulb
Gary, I'm not going to disagree with you. Again this is LONG Range Hunting site as I assume we all deal with fair chase in taking of our animals and experience with bullets deals with that or match shooting maybe varmints.
I don't know many hunters that consider shooting animal over bait or even crop damage as real hunting. I'm sure when the rules were written here they never considered that since we as hunter knew what it meant.
LLoyd is famous as the crop damage killing king he claims more deer truck loads and the list goes on. I asked him one time about fair chase on another site and how that relates to hunting and sure won't tell you his answer. I'm not saying what hes doing is wrong but has nothing to do with hunting as we know it.
Lloyd's never worried about what image he portrait as a hunter when he start bragging and would anyone want young hunter reading his post.
Gary, lot more to this than you think.
Good post Tom!
in todays world we have people going hungry, and we have people wasting meat. Sorta gets under my skin a little bit. If I were to take a few head of deer because of crop damage, I be the first one to donate the meat to every homeless shelter I could find. Secondly (like your post said), I'd never be bragging about doing this! I'd almost be ashamed of doing it.

Shelters won't take it but you can still go through a church or something and find someone to help out.
