- What you post may be taken out of context by antis to use against us as a group. I err on the side of caution and restraint.
- There may be secret/hidden sub-forums which I don't know about. I haven't received any secret handshakes from long-term members, and that's fine by me.
- Mods have "trimmed" threads when things get out of hand. Usually arguments between forum members that which head into "playing the man, not the ball" territory.


True.

True.

True. Good idea.

There is no secret hand shake area.

We have. That's usually why, yes.

I'm also looking for the thread on the Port Arthur Massacre (PAM). Has it been removed, or have I just not seen it?


All topics are able to be read by the public / non members. It was never the case that content was available to members only.

I don't know which "the" PAM thread you're referring to would be, as there have been multiple ones over time. It may have been removed if the discussion was getting out of hand.

Do a search using the function (top-left) for "port arthur" and whatever is there, is there.

I'm not going to list potentially inappropriate subjects but clearly there are things in addition to incitements of violence that are inappropriate for a reasonable, all ages forum.

As it says under the submit button when posting/replying: "Enough Gun aims to provide a mature environment which promotes legal, responsible firearm practices. The discussion or promotion of illegal activities is prohibited and members may not post abusive, defamatory or otherwise objectionable content"

Let that be your guide.


If that's all that inflammatory means then that's OK.
Thanks for the clarification.

I remember a "how many guns can I stockpile" question.

I think the best answer came from a regular forum user "why don't you just ask your anti gun mates?" :lol:


I do recall that one it was a rather entertaining thread in the end.

Seems a bit sarcastic. It isn't "off the reservation" to say that leftists in Australia, the UK, the USA and Canada are not particularly fond of people owning guns. Australia and the UK required a lot of law abiding people to turn in their guns about 20 years ago, and there is a number of politicians in the USA who've said they'd like to have the same happen in the USA.

I think accusing new members of being government or media spies doesn't really help bust that myth.

Trust me ...
