A quick summary:
It's been a fairly well supported fact that there is a definate
need for a firearms/weapons news group. It's also been (pretty much)
unanimously agreed that such a group should NOT deal with gun
control issues (net.flame does this job quite nicely).
The mail.firearms list is dead. No real signs of its resurrection.
It was also felt that a newsgroup would have reached a wider audience.
So, what's the deal? It seems that if groups like 'net.nlang.greek'
can exist, a weapons group certainly couldn't be deemed 'too esoteric'..
Do we have to beg?? Please Mr. Wizard, let's give it a shot.. Ok?
This is not a new subject or desire.
Now, considering that someone 'in charge' of creating newsgroups is
reading this.. I think that a mod group would be best. This would
prevent the gun control flames. I am willing to be the moderator.
If someone at a more 'backbone' type site wished to moderate, even
better. I talk to dual, pyramid, pesnta, decwrl & qantel, but
someone may be able to do better than this.
In any case, let's stop talking about it and give it a shot (please?)..
