There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Interesting history of the NRA

Have a Mossberg Silver Reserve o/u 12 gauge.
No Brownings, however. Berretta, but no Browning.
One of my "GOODEST" shooters is an old Lefever Nitro Special SXS in 20 gauge.

Here is some interesting "news" to chomp on--from MSN
WASHINGTON — Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment to allow for significant gun control legislation.
The 97-year-old Stevens says in an essay on The New York Times website that repeal would weaken the National Rifle Association's ability to "block constructive gun control legislation."
Stevens was on the losing end of a 2008 ruling in which the high court held that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to own a gun for self-defense. He had previously called for changing the Second Amendment to permit gun control.
Stevens says the decision in that case, District of Columbia v. Heller, "has provided the N.R.A. with a propaganda weapon of immense power." Stevens retired from the court in 2010, after more than 35 years.
In his essay published Tuesday, Stevens talks about the "March for Our Lives" events on Saturday which drew crowds in cities across the country. Stevens said the demonstrations "reveal the broad public support for legislation to minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society."

You must have missed the post above! This has already been through the meat grinder! :bowdown:
Maybe we could do a two-fer; repeal the 2nd amendment in exchange for POTUS' line item veto.

Sorry. I have not kept up with this one. I just saw the MSN post today. Thought it might be appropriate. :thumbup:

I'm usually not one to wade into such a divisive off-topic issue, and I'm barely old enough to remember Vietnam, but I think these last 2 sentences make the strongest point of the argument for me.
Is it really too much of a stretch to consider the options associated with some form of restrictive gun ownership and availability without extending that concept straight to the level of "pry it from my cold dead hands"?
Changing the Constitution, nor repealing or amending the provisions under it are not impossible, but IMO, the extremest positions and winner-take-all mentality that many throughout our society have on gun control, abortion and other controversial matters make it highly unlikely that we will see any such change in the next decade or two...leastwise not until all those youths that many unfortunately prefer to label "snowflakes" and disbelieve are capable of having an opinion that is not manipulated by "Hollywood and gun-hating billionaires" are old enough to exercise their votes...and may for the sake of many choose to vote with their conscience, not just their wallets.
As far as an earlier comment about better parenting is concerned, well, parenting doesn't stop "crazy"...and anyone too stubborn to admit that ALL of the individuals who've committed the 28 mass killings in the 19 years since Columbine is anything but crazy is probably (again, IMO) a darn fool themselves.
Sign me in favor of the right to keep and bear arms...within reason and with limitations.

I suggest that it is not just a matter of being "stuck in the 1790's." Our 242 yr-old-nation has existed for more than half its expected life span. Consider: How long do they last? The average length of time that a civilization lasts is 349.2 years. The median is 330 years. https://owlcation.com/humanities/How-long-do-empires-last So, it is more likely that American civilization as we know it has only a little more time left.

Hi Raprider,
Re: ...within reason and with limitations.
Since our Congress Critters will not touch it ( a pox on both their houses ) some people here in Oregon are taking it on:

I'll be sending them a check later this week.

I think if Congress does not act in any meaningful way, individual states will. Which is not the solution-gun laws should be the same across the country but what can you do if the NRA will not bend one inch?
