No more gun control threads

To all the members of SRP,

The Admins and Mods have had many lengthy discussions, with input from many of the Mentors and Members by PM. We have decided that due to the highly emotional state of the discussions regarding Gun Control, and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, now is not the time for any more of these discussions in the Conversation Forum on SRP.

This rule will apply to discussion of gun control, it will not apply to the threads that are strictly about firearms in the Finer Things forum, Hunting Threads, etc. Please keep in mind that any posts that attempt to disrupt or de-rail those threads will be regarded as Trolling by the Mod team whether for or against the Gun Control issue.

Please let's respect each others opinions, but let's leave those discussions to other places on the Internet, rather then SRP for the time being.

All, I have written a blog post to explain the reasons behind this decision in detail.
I'll not include the full text here because this thread is just about the simple rule, and closed for comments. My blog otoh is open for comments and questions.
