Hey, did you guys know that Colt has announced that it is suspending civilian production of the AR-15?

Yes. You know it. I know it. EVERYONE knows it. Look in the rifles section of the forum, and pleeeeeeaaaaaaaase stop posting that stuff in here.

I have deleted at least a half dozen such threads, from members of this forum who have been here long enough to assume that news such as this has already been posted in this forum and have been here long enough to know to look in the appropriate section of the forum to find that thread, which, in this case, is the Rifle Room.

Seriously- you look in the Lounge and you don't see a news item of such significance posted. Why would would you think that no one has posted this subject before you?? For news items such as this, you must assume that it's already been posted.

Do we sit on our hands? Or do we post items of great importance to gun owners the second they are published elsewhere?

Hint: It's the second choice.

Sorry, boss. I posted an article about it.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Thank you. You'll notice that I didn't single anyone out, but confessions cleanse the soul.

Funny thing, though, that original thread was posted 9/11 and only now (yesterday) does it appear mainstream entertainment media has caught up.

I learned that pretty early on. I only post news if it is local to me and/or very unusual.

Really? When did that happen? I had not heard anything about it. How come nobody posted anything here?
