9. I suggest a poll

in GD to remove RKBA, along with adding discussions about firearms not related to 2nd Amendment issues, out of Latest Threads. Putting the poll in GD would insure that all DUers get to decide what they have to read in Latest Treads.

I suggest a poll	safeinOhio	Jun 2012	#9
You might need to contact skinner about that idea.	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#10
It looks like that functionality just became available	petronius	Jun 2012	#22

I think the SOP should be changed & the RKBA forum should be treated like any other Rights forum...	OneTenthofOnePercent	Jun 2012	#19

Second that idea.	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Jun 2012	#31
This looks like it could be a nail biter!	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#25
Have you consulted the Admins about any of this?	ellisonz	Jun 2012	#26
The poll is to see if a majority of regulars support a change to the SOP	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#27
This looks a heck of a lot like "full speed ahead"	ellisonz	Jun 2012	#28
Do whatcha gotta do bro.	OriginalGeek	Jun 2012	#30
This post was hidden by jury decision.	Tuesday Afternoon	Jun 2012	#32
What exactly bothers you so much about ...	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#34
It's because he don't know anything about them.	oneshooter	Jun 2012	#36
That's not what DU has ever been about in the past. n/t	ellisonz	Jun 2012	#41
Many Democrats own guns.	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#42
There are thousands of sites where you obsess over guns.	ellisonz	Jun 2012	#72
This is Democratic Underground	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#73

I'm planning on formally posting in meta...	krispos42	Jun 2012	#62
Why not start a new group for "Gun Enthusiast"?	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#35
or add some traffic to outdoor life or sports.	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#37
Lots of good points, as usual	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#39
I wouldn't have an issue with prohibiting the posting of pictures of guns	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#40
This message was self-deleted by its author	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#38
See reply #44.	krispos42	Jun 2012	#46
Your desperation is showing Starboard Tack.	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#49
Pro-RKBA is not pro-carry. Nice try.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#58
Umm no,	gejohnston	Jun 2012	#59
More desperation: license to carry a loaded handun EVERYWHERE!!!111!!	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#60
"I'm a right of center Democrat" says it all. It's a big tent. We need you.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#63
That's funny because I meant to write left of center.	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#64
Sure, the bans on ownership are pointless anyway. Pure tokenism.	Starboard Tack	Jun 2012	#65
"Gun Enthusiasm" is discussion of RKBA and Gun Control.	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#50
I agree. Also, I stole your idea in a new OP. Sorry!	DanTex	Jun 2012	#51
My opinion is that a single, inclusive Group to talk about all aspects of	petronius	Jun 2012	#52
Allowing technical topics will dilute the forum from the discussion of legal rights	SkatmanRoth	Jun 2012	#43
Quite the opposite- many laws are based on technical aspects of guns	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#47
The example of Rep McCarthy is about laws concerning guns	SkatmanRoth	Jun 2012	#66
True, but understanding firearms better in the first place may lead to fewer silly laws...	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#68
I cringe at the thought of 'Lounge' like activities when I want to know about ownership rights	SkatmanRoth	Jun 2012	#69
One could argue that the AWB was a disaster because of the lack of knowledge about guns	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#48
Yes, the AWB was a law that confused cosmetic features with functionality	SkatmanRoth	Jun 2012	#67
The proposed extension has nothing to do with "Justice & Public Safety"	muriel_volestrangler	Jun 2012	#55
I don't think you could put discusions about guns for self defense under "Recreation"	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#56
On the other hand, an inclusive group in J & PS reiterates that the main focus	petronius	Jun 2012	#57
kick	aikoaiko	Jun 2012	#70
The two-group option seems to be the better option.	ManiacJoe	Jun 2012	#71
I find the two group option interesting	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#74
kick-about 12 hours to go.	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#75

I would suggest though, that those with 'Two-groups' as their first choice should	petronius	Jun 2012	#77
Expand the SoP in a different way	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Jun 2012	#78
You were about the only one supporting such an idea during the 1st poll	Kaleva	Jun 2012	#79
I will start a poll asking if others can accept this:	discntnt_irny_srcsm	Jun 2012	#80
