Let’s try this again. The bang list was created specifically for Second Amendment arguments and firearms. It wasn’t made for vague articles that list over twenty issues none of which have anything to do with the Second Amendment. As far as missing articles like this, I’ll take my chances.
Let’s try this again. Healthy People 2010 removes firearms as a health and safety occupational hazard.
I will cheerfully review banglist history.
As I recall Joe Brower and others created the banglist in an attempt to gain some semblence of control over the flood of information that passed through FreeRepublic on a daily or even hourly basis.
Later the Brothers Robinson revamped the keyword function to allow keywords to supplant topic specific categories.
My test for banglist posts has always been very simple: As a 2nd Amendment Activist who has experienced first hand the unique joy and wonder of committee hearings and legislative sausage making anything of interest to me (should) be of interest to other 2nd Amendment activists.
The under-the-radar proliferation of Non Government Organizations should alarm 2nd Amendment Activists everywhere especially when their primary focus does not seem to be related to the 2nd Amendment even though it really is.
Your local policeman, for example, may soon attend a seminar on gang violence or domestic violence where an entire course composed of helpful tips on how to seize weapons from otherwise law abiding citizens will be presented and funded with YOUR tax dollars.
I urge my fellow 2nd Amendment Activists to educate themselves on NGOs and learn how they operate and why they are important.
Those with eyes will see, those with ears will hear; everyone else will get caught in the crossfire.
As Colonel Jeff Cooper once said: " Your primary weapon is your mind. Use it".
