Gun threads are just a fact of life in outdoors forums. You can choose to participate or not.

I am not a gun owner and don't see that ever changing, but I think gun laws and regulations are everyone's business, so I often look in on the gun threads to see if that is being discussed. If so, I sometimes express an opinion, respectfully.

If all that's being discussed are gun specs and other technicalities, I have nothing useful to add.
