- The ruins of the golden era.
I am a little torn here. I am an American, I am a firearms owner, and fairly avid hunter (hence my name...). I would not consider myself a “gunnut” in the conventional sense (I am not waiting with 6 machine guns for when the black helecopters from the UN come get me, etc.). I have many, many European friends who also own firearms and are not much different than myself. I go hunting myself in Europe most years.
However, I make a conscious decision on my part to avoid doing much involving firearms on this forum because I do not feel this what the bulk of this forum is about. I can go to a firearms or hunting forum and talk about those things there. I also know there are people here who are bothered by firearms or hunting so I do not post or comment on much on those topics. I come here (like many I think) to talk about clothes and other things from the 1920s-50s.
However, there are many aspects about the “Golden Era” on this forum that do interest people that I have no interest in: leather jackets, Nazi militaria, some of the really fine details on hat construction, collecting old records, our endless threads on “why today/people/things etc today are bad”, etc. However, it does not really bother me if people talk about those things so I just do not go to those threads. I am not sure why people who do not like firearms cannot simply not look at those threads? Provided we keep the firearms stuff to their proper threads and I think the mods do a good job at that (I am thinking of some of our adventurer gear threads that Scotrace did a good job keeping in line).
Just my thoughts.
End thread. Great response.
