    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 (your moderator was an artilleryman in the US Army) 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
    and gunsmithing.

    *** READ THIS CAREFULLY: THIS IS NOT A DEBATE ECHO. ***

    If you do not agree with the freedom to own guns, you should not
    participate in this echo.

    By participating in this echo, you agree to the following policies:

    * Any technical discussion in this echo is to be considered for
    personal use only. The moderators and its participants are not
    to be held liable for any damage or injury one may suffer by
    following advice obtained in this echo. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
    CAVEAT EMPTOR.

    * Absolutely no political discussion outside the realm dealing directly
    with guns. If you disagree with gun ownership, you should not
    participate in this echo.

    * Absolutely no flaming or personal insults will be tolerated in
    this echo.

    * Religious discussion pertaining to guns is tolerated but should
    be kept on-topic and to a minimum.

    * Please do not discuss illegal topics in this echo such as the use
    of mercury-tipped ammunition.

    * All posts must be in English. This echo originates in the US and
    as such, English is the official language of this echo.

    * No off-topic posts such as BBS/network ads, test messages, et
    cetera.

    * Real names are required to be used in this echo. No aliases. If
    your BBS software will not allow you to toggle between real name and
    alias in the message header, sign your message with your real name.

    * Any traffic concerning Fidonet matters, such as alleged "echo
    hijackings", complaints about other echoes and their moderators,
    or any traffic construed as such by the moderators is OFF-TOPIC.
    Absolutely none of that is allowed in this echo and violators will
    be dealt with swiftly. Please take such discussion to netmail or
    another appropriate echo.

    * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS
    mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else
    without the moderator's express and written permission. This is
    a Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.

    * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policies
    such as EP1. This echo originates in Zone 1 and follows Zone 1 policies
    concerning the "echolist".

    * The moderators have the final say in dealing with problems in the echo.
    If you have something to say about a moderator's action, please
    contact them via netmail (preferred) or email.

    * No public discussion of a moderation action is allowed.
