    Need for a 2A Forum

    Believe we should have a 2A Forum, especially with all the important cases winding through the system.

    For example: Jeff Silvester et.al. v Kamala Harris, et.al. filed back in 2011 finally DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 2/16/2018.

    Thanks

    Agreed.

    Separate them out of GD. They get lost in the muck so easily there.

    I second this motion.

    I agree. Fantastic idea to have a separate forum outside of GD to discuss 2A related issues.

    Not the only voice nor the last one, but some food for thought:

    Additional sub-forums are proposed from time to time. When crunching the numbers that are both open to all and behind the curtain, those numbers usually don't support the stated need/desire for the new one. How members read M4C also guides what forums are useful. Anyone reading via the "what's new" button gets all content posted since last visit or last refresh. Members who browse by sub-forum would benefit, but how many they are and what they're reading is harder to capture.

    Of note, most members don't read most threads. For example, this one has only been read by only 28 registered members since posted. Many believe that a topic that isn't active or being read isn't being seen. More often, it's just doesn't have as much interest. From a content-management perspective, how does one determine if something is a 2A/RKBA topic, or just another current event? If someone is doing something legislatively with suppressors or SBRs, is it an NFA thread, a GD topic, or 2A/RKBA?

    Here's an idea: When starting a new thread, lead the subject line with something like "2A” or “RKBA” or something like that. I.e. “2A: 99th Circuit Rules 40w Phasers are Not Firearms". If you've started a thread previously on a 2A or RKBA topic, go back and retitle it thusly so it can be found. We could monitor and assess the content a little more easily that way.

    I think this is a significantly more well thought out reply and points being made than could have been expected.

    Thanks for being clear and concise in how the decision making for this would be impacted and the process in which it is reviewed.

    And perhaps make it a sticky.
