For no reason, whatsoever.

I say give it back. It's pretty much an collection of homeless people, sharks, overpriced goods, gun haters and slow moving lava. If we could carve CA off the continent and tow it over there I would be all for that too.

So many bad assumptions and drama.

Recognizing Russia's horrendous behavior has no inherent tie to being a Neocon or some wacky urge to be world policeman.

It must make some feel good to name call, and to assert the moral high ground. Which in this case seems to stem from believing Russian propaganda, probably along with bizarre notions of a globalist cabal which is going to, well, you know...

So let's blame America first. Like for that horrible thing we did 130 years ago in Hawaii, where one person was wounded, which is surely comparable to starving tens of millions of an inconvenient social class to death.

I am now ready to embrace the moral superioity and victim status of Mr. Putin and the poor little Russian state. I think I am gonna put together a little care package and send it over.

Right now, at this moment in time. Who stands to gain the most from international conflict and the focusing of Americas attention span anywhere but here?

Cuba?

Cuba?

a Cigar for that answer

I think we are done here..........

1. Be excellent to each other

Though this may sound a little 'out there', we couldn't phrase it better than our sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln (captured on VHS circa 1989).

Websters defines excellent as "unusually good" or "much better than average". Northwest Firearms welcomes all gun owners, meaning you will find a more diverse group here than on other firearm-related websites. Going above and beyond when interacting with others you may disagree with is never easy, but it is a condition of your membership here. You don't have to be warm and fuzzy, but you do have to be respectful to other members. When things get heated, simply avoid using the word you.

How you treat others, both online and off, is a direct reflection on all gun owners. Believe us, people are watching. Opting for the high road is always the best choice. Nobody has ever won someone to their way of thinking by calling them an idiot. We expect people to act like adults here, it's unreasonable to ask us to babysit you. No doubt, there will be conflict and disagreements here. You alone will be held responsible for how you deal with them. Take a breath, walk away, go outside.

This rule is purposely vague to inclusively prohibit a wide variety of rude, malicious, catty, sarcastic, hurtful, hateful, spiteful, barbed, and ornery behavior within the community including:

• General rudeness and disrespect (as outlined above).
• Epithets, labels, and generalizations against another person or group of people, whether they are members here or not. These serve absolutely no purpose other than to divide us, directly opposite to our goal of uniting gun owners. This is especially relevant regarding political labels (such as 'the liberal media', 'those right-wingers', and even 'left/right'). Pro-gun and anti-gun are the only labels that should be applied here, as we are a single-issue community. This rule also applies to but is not limited to epithets, labels, and generalizations pertaining to race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, ethnicity, nationality, occupation (such as law enforcement), and every other one you can think of. Disagreement over what constitutes a religion, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etcetera is not a legitimate excuse.
• Using someone's affiliations ad hominem as a means of dismissing or discrediting their views regardless of whether said affiliations are mainstream. For example, "You're a vegetarian, what would you know about hunting?".
• Linking to external attacks, harassment, or other material, for the purpose of attacking another member.
• Comparing members to Nazis, dictators, or other infamous persons.
• Accusations about personal behavior. If you believe a person's personal behavior is questionable, on or off the site, please contact a moderator.
• Posting personal information about another person, such as name, phone number, address, etc. (also known as doxing). This rule applies regardless of whether the person is a member here or not.
• Threats, including, but not limited to:
  • Threats of legal action.
  • Threats of violence or other off-site action (particularly death threats).
  • Threats of physical or electronic vandalism.
  • Threats or actions which deliberately expose other members to political, religious, or any other type of persecution by government, their employer, or others.
  • Threats to give out personal information about another member.

These are examples, this is not an exhaustive list. Insulting or disparaging another member is prohibited regardless of the way which it is done.

2. Religious and non-firearm political content is prohibited

We are a single-issue organization, focused solely on bringing people together in support of the 2nd Amendment. Religious and political content is inherently divisive, hurting our cause far more than it could ever help it. This includes news-related content that our staff believes may cause division.
