Absolutely. There are many firearms owners who are members here (including myself) and many firearms-related threads, however gun control threads invariably get derailed and end up getting ugly and personal. And so it was decided to deal with that issue by not permitting the issue to be raised in the first place. There is a post somewhere announcing and explaining the policy. if I can find it, I'll post a link.
