“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

To be fair I trust the public with unpredictably deadly implements more than any cop, so it's not illogical that something too dangerous for cops to handle is fine for civilians.

I touched fentanyl once without having an instantaneous, violent seizure about it or being tempted to OD in the bathroom on it.

But that's because I'm not a cop and therefore better than them.
