  GUNS_N_SUCH is an echo for gun enthusiasts to discuss their mutual hobby  
  in a safe, friendly environment.  This echo originates in Zone 1 in the  
  United States and will focus on the freedoms of gun ownership as well  
  as the rules and regulations on guns in the United States.  
    
  However, international gun enthusiasts are welcomed also.  
    
  All weapons that could be considered a "gun", such as pistols, long  
  rifles, shotguns, black powder pistols and rifles, and even heavy  
  artillery are on-topic here.  
    
  The use of guns in hunting is considered on-topic also.  
    
  WHAT IS NOT ON-TOPIC: Any subject related to guns that could be  
  considered as politically sensitive such as gun control.  This  
  echo is for the enjoyment of guns and the hobby of gun ownership,  
  gunsmithing, and gun sports.  Please take all political discussions  
  to one of the echos dedicated to political discussions.
