I have been attempting to post an article to newsgroup 'rec.guns'
and it never appears. Articles submitted to other newsgroups
have been distributed without any problem but everytime I attempt
to post something to 'rec.guns' nothing happens.
Is there some sort of a 'rn' problem?
How can I check that distribute occurs?
Any input would be greatly appreciated?

rec.guns is a moderated newsgroup. This means that your article is not posted directly, but rather is turned into mail to the moderator, who will approve it and post it for you, usually very quickly (based on recent traffic in the group). Wait a day, or perhaps two. --Karl

rec.guns is a moderated newsgroup. When you post something there,
your article is automagically turned to mail and sent to the
moderator. If the moderator deems it appropriate, {s}he will arrange
for it to appear in the newsgroup, at which time it will be widely
distributed, and you will see it back on your home system again as a
normal-looking news article.
