This just pisses me off. I don't know why all of the sudden the staff of this forum have taken an anti-gun approach. This will probably get closed/deleted and I dont care, this should be made public.

The reason for my rant? Well my FS thread was closed. I was selling a few extra gun parts that I had laying around. I know it's not fish related, but people sell misc items all the time, so I didn't see an issue with it.

My thread was just closed today with NO EXPLANATION. i then pm'd a mod asking what happened. I was told that it was closed because guns/gun parts can be illegal. wtf? what idiot came up with that determination? i'd like to know please.

I read the buy-n-sell rules and i see NO REASON why the parts i was selling would not be allowed. they are NOT ILLEGAL in any way shape or form and are even sold on ebay (ebay is a very anti-gun site as well).

I know what most of you will say, if i dont like it, leave, post them somewhere else, blah blah blah. that's not the point. the point is that is that i think sometimes this forum goes a bit too far with the legal stuff. even to point where they apply a form of "underground regulation" and try to enforce laws in ways that arent even applicable or intended.

and here's the thread that was closed http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194558

so, let the comments pour in :popcorn:
 
I can see it from both sides a bit. On one side yes, what you had is perfectly legal pieces of plastic. On the other hand, the mods have a TON of stuff to deal with and they may or may not be into guns so to them it could be illegal so they go ahead and close it up. If you think and F&G is bad lol wait till you have to deal with ATF!

Its my personal opinion that simple things like you had should be fine to allow but again, I can still see where they are coming from.

yeah its understanable i guess. its funny how the general public FEARS the "evil black rifle" and anythign that looks like it, even though it fires a tiny .223 round.

and what i love even more is how my thread was closed with no explanation from anybody. not even a pm. NOTHING

Sometimes in life you just got to suck it up and move on. Guns are a touchy subject and sometimes it's best left to a gun forum.
