    This forum was founded on a "no politics" policy. It was defined by it. Now it is defined by something else. That's a shame to me.
    After that unfortunate event I tried to keep politics from entering the forum but as you can imagine it was a tidal wave.

    It was obvious that members needed a time frame to vent and calm down.

    That time is nearly over, so we can return to the “ no politics” rule

    So, if you see any blatant politics let myself or other mods know

    And we will delete it

    Ha ha what a weird comment, you obviously don't agree with the why or the way this place was built.

    Not sure why and how this forum was built as I was doing something else at that time. I doubt there is one single reason for any forum.

    I did not know Toby either. But I did go and read his old posts out of respect before I went and attended his memorial.

    Anyway, it's a Hunting and Shooting forum. Personally more interested in shooting than hunting. So, about shooting, as Sidney said, staying relevant to the real world encroaching on our shooting rights is important, saying or thinking otherwise I just don't get. As I said, I'm feeling it with my gun club shut down till further notice. Other gun clubs arsoned, but are they any of my concern? Probably.
