If they don't trust us with guns, how can we trust them with the government?

    Well, I think there SHOULD BE moderate Censorship on a political forum to weed out Trolls.
    Intelligent, polite differing view discussions are OK. But often there are trolls that just want to make trouble by spewing incredably stupid and often insulting remarks.

    Extremism in persuit of Freedom is no vice.

    there should be moderate censorship, like someone else said, to weed out trolls..

    and censorship of bad language, as little kids use these forums.

    I'm in.

    There should not be any censorship in the politics forum at all. This of course excepting the usual profanity,nudity, etc.

    It is the politics forum. Censorship here is the highest form of hypocrisy.Think about it.

    When the meekest of men raise their fist at you in defiance, you have lost. It is just a matter then of admitting it to yourself.

    I think there should be censorship to keep the forum clean and without all the crap and hissy fits that happen in the political forum.

    This is Gunbroker's board, and they have a right to control its content.

    That's not "censorship" that's BUSINESS, and in my opinion it actually results in a better board experience for most.

    If you want to post your own drivel, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from opening up your own site or blog and posting whatever you want on there for all the world to see. Nowadays it can be done for pennies.

    That's my two cents.

    Thanks for entering me in the giveaway.

    Throw my name in please.

    There should be NO censorship on the polickers forum for the following reasons. If we/you/they start to censor the forum where does it stop? Its no differant from trying to ban guns cause it will start with the .50cal(trolls) then the handgun(insults) ETC,ETC.
    We have been givin the gift of choice. If you know a person is a troll you dont have to open that thread. You dont have to read it. You dont have to post a reply. That thing in your right hand is called a mouse and you can left click and that offenceive thread goes away. Just like the remote for you TV, if ya dont want to watch that show what do ya do?
    I personly dislike the political forum and have no reason or want to go over there but i still dont see a reason or need to censor it.
    Our goverment and the soldiers that gave their lives to protct that right, its called the 1st Admendment. Lets not lower ourselfs.

    Sorry you said a line or 2 but i couldnt stop[V][;)]

    JBoss...If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier!!!!!!!

    Well I'd sure like to have that book!
    As for the censorship..........well I personally take afront to censorship of any form, as a matter of fact I take afront to all rules, authority, authority fgures, finger pointers, blamelayers, backstabbers and politicians. However this is someone elses forum and I imagine if it were a free for all some of the dimwits would ruin the good Gunbroker name for us more articulate chaps, here here...!

    Please toss me in the hat.

    The owners of this site can censor anything they want, that is a freedom offered by ownership. We have no rights here except those granted to us.

    The only censorship on the polictcal forum should be for the language. No cursing or bad pictures. Political and religous speech was what the founding fathers were wanting to protect not pornography. Other than that anything should go. The only reason I would have those restrictions would be in case children went there.

    Censorship is just another form of slavery. The cracker has all the information and doles out to you what he thinks you need. Anyone that voluntarly wants censors deserves to be a slave to a better man. If only because they can't manage their own intake of information.

    Put me in sir for the informational book.
