Easy pick for me: Anything and everything involving CNN's version of Jerry Springer, one Piers Morgan. Nothing he has to say matters to me, nor should it to the protection of RKBA.

He has an audience, but it is already mostly anti-2A, so he's not convincing anyone of anything. He says the same thing to every "guest" and never has a shred of evidence to back up any of it. I will not go to those PM video links anymore, as all they do is infuriate me.

No, I'm not really suggesting we ban anything, but I'm really sick of these "PM got it handed to him" posts.

Basically, any uninformed or ignorant post. In particular, something they could have used a search engine to discover in about 2 seconds, and read on 1,269,042 websites. And, after less than an hour, reposting "NOBODY??" Which means, "I can't be bothered with research and learning, give me the important information NOW!"

It gets reeaaalll quiet after that. :rolleyes:

"Sheeple?" Please, give it a rest; I picture you cruising the mall, striding confidently in a pair of desert tan boots (that have never touched soles on any desert), splendidly attired in your khaki 5.11 tactical pants and black 5.11tactical polo shirt, bisected neatly with your Wilderness Instructor Belt and a Blade-Tec holster packing your SA XDm-9, two spare mags, all sartorially and artfully concealed by a tan 30-pocket Woolrich photojournalist's vest, while you alertly scan the masses of sheeple passing by through your Oakley Razors, peering out from under the bill of a seasoned Gunsite ballcap that you found on E-Bay ....

We are hopefully seeing our ranks increase as the NRA are. As a result of this we will be getting a lot of "Whats the best...." questions and I hope that the responses of "Thats been asked before...", "Use Google....", are kept to a minimum.

Any Glock vs. 1911 thread should be immediately closed/locked. Anyone that wants to rehash that argument can go to the archives.

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

By far, the "If you could only have _____ guns" threads.

And personally, even though I know it's outside THRs purpose and thus not likely, I think we should have MORE discussions about socialism and why/how this nation is going down the drain. The first step towards fixing the problem is knowledge. And it's sad so few people are aware of how collectivist the US has become.

There's this little virtue called self control, which when diligently applied, allows one to simply opt out of participation in topics which do not interest them. Try that first........

[460Kodiak]

Personally I hate the "I have this gun in caliber xxx, but I really really really want to get another gun in the same caliber. But do I need it?"

The answer is almost always no. You want it. So just save your money, buy the damn thing, shoot it, and if you then decide you don't need two guns that shoot the same cartridge, trade the one that you shoot less toward a different gun! There will always be another gun you want! Just admit it ,and accept that part of being a firearm enthusiast is collecting different guns chambered for different cartridges.

If you are one of those people that owns one gun so you can go hunting, then make sure you buy the right gun. If that's you, you probably aren't a member of this forum.

If you ask do I need this gun on this forum, the answer will almost always be "No, but if you really want it, buy one anyway. You can always get rid of it."

Lame threads. Don't use us as a passive way of justifying your gun wants. Now if you have a question about does one gun have an advantage over a different one of the same caliber, ok. Ask away. That is a legit question.

[Skribs]

Although I make these every so often, I find that list threads tend to be a bunch of lists with very few descriptions and even less discussion of previous items. Most of the contraversial threads that get closed because people start throwing verbal excrement at each other are closed because people are actually responding to the other's posts. But a list of "what are your top 5 wish list guns for this year" will have maybe one reply per page that isn't just a list of 5 guns and increased post count for all within.

Just redundant posts. With the recent, er, mud storm we've had of late with the hydra head of anti-2A activity, there are often multiple threads on the same topic. This makes the general discussion board time consuming to check in on; the poor mods can't catch them all-not without a fat raise, at least.

Search twice, post once.

Unless it's "which Glock to carry in Bear country", of course...

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

What gun should I get my girlfriend? Well, I think you really wanted us to know you have a girlfriend and that she likes guns. :)

What pistol should I get, money is no object? Okay, you have plenty of money. :)

Should I get a .45 or a 9mm? Neither. You should get a .22LR and after that you will know something. :neener:

There is a scratch on my new pistol, should I send it back? After showing photos and zooming in on it you can still barely notice it. Yes, send it back so that it will get more scratches on it during shipping. :scrutiny:

This stupid gun is jamming, a gun that costs XXX should shoot anything I put in it! It should, I put a twinkie in mine and it shot it fine. If I had known that twinkies would be so valuable I would have not done so. :D

My gun shoots 6" groups at 100 yards! Piece of junk! Its not me either, I can shoot 1" groups with my XYZ gun. My friend shot it and it was fine.... ooooo.... :eek:

If you could "ban: one topic from THR...

Dumb threads

[larryh1108]

Simple: The most useless phrase is "use the search function".

*First, the search function sucks. If you wish to know if the XD9 has had a history of FTFs, you search XD9 FTF. You get any thread with an XD9 in it and you get every thread containing FTF. Literally thousands of threads to go thru.

*Second, we have a ton of new people. They want to interact with the experienced pros. This is not a read only forum. They wish to feel a part of the discussion and actually contribute to it.

*Third, products are fixed by the mfg (recalls) and the issue of a year ago may not be relevent today. This is quite common on new pistols.

*Fourth, ammo is constantly upgraded, reconfigured, etc. There is new ammo out and what was "the best for...?" 2 years ago may not be true today.

*Last, when someone tells someone to just use the search function because it's been discussed before it means he is bored with the topic so he felt the need to be rude and inconsiderate. Hey, if it bores you, move on. Don't feel you have to mark your territory like an animal. Treating newbies with disdain does not help the forum grow as a community and keeps fresh ideas and people new to the gun world away.

[OptimusPrime]

Don't ban a thing. I come here to learn, and even the "9mm or .45?" threads usually contain a nugget or two every time.
I don't snap at my little kids because they ask questions that my older kids already asked 1,000 times before....

[gunsRus]

ban the "if you could ban one topic from THR" topic.

Ask what you want, and read what you want. I see these posts about what not to discuss making people leery about posting. The long time members that have seen the same topic over and over are not obligated to reply. But the new guys (me being one) may not have seen them and would miss out on the topic. Otherwise we'd be looking up years worth of threads that no one will ever reply to again. And the mind numbing "If you only get ..... gun" and "what should my wife shoot", they might not be mind numbing to some. Post freely and read/reply freely. Like others have said, there is enough banning going on. Just my two cents.

Honestly though, and I'm sure I'll catch a ration of "s" for this one...... I would ban :

"The 2nd amendment protects all of the rest"

Not because its not true- But because you cant say that out of one corner of your mouth, and selectively enforce the 1st amendment out of the other side only when it suits you.

I find that to be one of the most unwholesome paradoxes of THR.

I get it. I've "heard" and "read" the rationale 100 times over. It still makes absolutely no sense to me, and the enforcement is........ Well, I'll say "selective" and leave it at that.
