Discussions about guns and knives have been going on here since before I started hanging out, including generic "self defense" threads, and it's never been a problem before. If it gets out of hand Chris takes care of it. Guns and knives are no different than any other gear, and should be legitimate topics for survival. Just my .02.

Edit: I just saw your post under "A big rethink" and I must say I agree with that 100%.
