That ain’t good enough!!!

[Mij]

I’m a noob. I own that.

But I came to this site because I thought I would be in good company. I’ve found that I’m, in many cases, nowhere near like minded gun owners.

Myself included, I’ve seen gun snobs of all types denigrating those that don’t fit into their niche.

A lot of 2A supporters only own one, two, three, firearms. Not because they don’t or can’t own more. But because that’s all that fit into there lifestyle or budget.

I’m at a stage of life that allows me to do whatever I want, I see the new guy’s-gal’s come on board and ask a question or make a comment and are immediately shot down because they don’t have or shoot the latest and greatest gold plated masterpiece. I accept that I may have done this myself in the past, but I can’t remember when. I know I have joined in a good natured ribbing more than once. But only joking around.

We, all of us, need every 2A supporter we can get. Please let’s not chase them off by telling them what they are doing isn’t good enough. Let’s support them and especially support them in teaching there children, grandchildren, neighbors, and non gun owning friends.

I think to board activity has been on the decline, but that's pretty subjective. It does need to make sure new members are staying around to become old members.

I’m going to make the assumption that your “to” is a fat finger “the” and by board I think you mean mod’s.

The board (a flat chunk of lumber) I personally don’t see as a problem. The mod’s can only take action if a rule is broken. I also don’t see this as a problem. I think it is an us problem. We as a group INGO must self control the problem, and that only if it is perceived as one. I do.

By the board, I mean the forum. I wasn't meaning anything at all about the mods. It just seems like nowadays when I log in there are fewer new posts than there were 5 years ago or so..

OK Understood, but of course I wasn’t here 5 years ago. Two n a half years. But I read the entire archive, so I’ve got that experience to go on.

Let’s consider for a moment, the possibility that the reason for less postings today may be the fact others like me are reading the site as guest. And by what they read are afraid to join or post if they do? …..Please just consider this one point.

I will say, I’m not inclined to post at times because I know it will bring down holly **** if I offer my opinion. Just a thought.
