I presume that was a joke based on the emoji.
However, ghost guns, or guns without a proper manufacturer SN, are illegal as it gets, and I’d not even joke about them online or anywhere else.
Not my business, I am not a mod or in a position to tell u anything, but strongly recommend not talking about illegal in net forums that will bite u in the rear if you’re ever investigated for say, a defensive shooting…
Jus sayin
We are already dedicated, we don’t need to be divided, 1911, AR-15’s, AR-14’s🤣.
We are a gun community focused on safety, rights and concealment. Now, if we had a dedicated forum on how to conceal an AR-15, I’m good to go.
The only reason I voted no on these is that anyone could very easily start a thread on the topics. Having a dedicated long gun or 1911 weekly post might just muddy the water on someone look I ngnfor information.
@Dawn when you posted about building your AR you saw the worm holes created. It would probably be multiplied with a dedicated thread.
@Sheepdog556 I hear and understand that concern. And, if it is ok to just start a thread on a long gun in a forum not about long guns, then I’d agree it best to not create more forums for long guns. @Dawn - you copied that ?
Yes, I was making a joke - in reference to your grey guns. Firearms that have had their serial numbers removed are illegal. Licensed manufacturers cannot legally produce nor sell firearms without serial numbers. However, firearms not made for sale, aka home-made firearms, are not illegal, and are not required to have serial numbers.
This information on what is required/suggested when transferring a firearm in a private transaction: https://www.atf.gov/file/58681/download It does not mention that a serial number must be on the firearm. I could find no citation requiring firearms previously manufactured for personal use requiring a serial number when transferred.
While I dont see any harm in creating the categories I also dont see the need.
We have Guns&Gear why not just start a thread there on the topic you want to talk about.
I own long guns, I own revolvers, I own pistols, I do reloading and cast bullets. So far I have been able to create or find a thread that covers what I am looking to learn about or share/add my experiences to.
I didn’t vote as it would depend on the particular subject of a thread on how much I would participate. Will I try to read it all (yes I will try) but that does not mean I would post to it on a weekly basis as I might not have a question or anything to add.
Ban hammer only comes out with repeated breaking of and discussions about breaking the Community Standards. If a comment is made in the heat of a discussion and it will be addressed by the moderation team – we all know life is kinda stressful right now.
If the person doesn’t make some effort to adhere to the standards (i.e. calls names, personal attacks, or hate speech) in future posts and blows off the moderation teams attempts to work with the person, then the ban hammer comes out.
Misplaced posts will be moved to the right place and an explanation of the movement will be shared. If it’s WAY off-topic, we may jump in and let you know that it’s too far off-topic. We do give a decent amount of leeway in topics. (Use the Miscellaneous category for off-topic please.)
We’re all pretty reasonable, but we’re human and mistakes can happen. We do our best to be the best for all of our awesome Community participants. And PLEASE call us on something if it doesn’t seem right. I had a whopper of a typo last night (put can instead of can’t type thing) and someone called me on it! Which was really helpful because I could fix my typo before I confused everyone
Point of clarification - I’m not asking if everyone would post a topic on long guns or 1911’s per week. I’m curious if you all would post a comment on a topics - would you interact on a topic about long guns or 1911’s once a week?
