Your rights to free speech are limited by the board code whilst on this site. I STRONGLY urge you to review and abide by them.

The illegal machine gun thread was moved for that very reason. We have a rule about posting any info on how to make,create,acquire or any other subject that has to do with making,owning or buying an illegal full auto. Quite simple actually. But you already knew that..didn't you!
The other one was moved from the BRC forum because it has nothing to do with the Black Rifle Convention. As for crushing free speech. Not likely. This is a privately owned web site. One of the perks of being a privately owned web site is..the owner makes the rules. Much like the rules most people have in their house. but ..you knew that too. |

Liberal my ass!
The accusation is so far beyond stupid, showing your ignorance, that you have to be a troll. |

To quote a sig line: "Your freedom ends at my nose". The limits of free speech on this site are set by the Administrator and by the Moderators he has to assist him. Feel free to make your own forum to say whatever you feel like saying. However, more than likely, you will find it necessary to limit the speech and conduct of the people who join your forum, too....

Actually we have been quite liberal in the fact that we haven't locked your account already. Trolling around suggesting illegal machinegun conversions and illegal machinegun get togethers is more than enough reason to have done so!

Great job staff. I enjoy this site and I would like to see it stick around. That is why I am now a paying member. Stick to your guns. (pun intended)
Thanks again, Tom |

Never seen this many staff and mods in one thread! Looks like I missed an utterly moronic thread.
Just out of curiousity, would there be liability for the site if idiots posted "how-tos" and they were busted or hurt someone? It seems pretty farfetched after reading the case law on it. And no, I'm not saying it should be allowed, the site should not post illegal stuff, unless AR15's and the like are permanently and completely. (Then we can turn this into the ETH Middle East Info Page!) |

I don't know the details, but I heard about an author who published a book titled something like "How to Be a Hit-Man", and someone followed his directions. The author was protected by the 1st-Amendment against criminal charges, but lost a civil suit.
I heard this from a lawyer, but I might have got it wrong. |

The author was protected by the 1st-Amendment against criminal charges, but lost a civil suit. I heard this from a lawyer, but I might have got it wrong. A man was hired to kill a disabled boy and his mother, because the father/ex-husband didn't want to keep supporting the child, who was dependent on several expensive medical devices to live. Hit man also killed the nurse who was on duty the night of the killing. The "Hit Man" book was printed by Delta Press, IIRC. The author was actually a bored housewife who put together all kinds of stuff she saw on TV.... Scott |

Quoted: Quoted: The limits of free speech on this site are set by the Administrator and by the Moderators he has to assist him. Free speech is a restriction on government power; not the ability to speak on a private forum. The forum rules thus have no impact on one's right to speak. Actually, the forum rules have HEAVY impact on the "right" of people to speak on this (and any other) forum. Just as a visitor in your home is expected to abide by your requests, visitors to this online "residence" are bound by the Conduct Code. The First Amendment applies to government agencies. Congress cannot say you can't cuss here. However, The Administrator and Moderators CAN tell you not to cuss or discuss forbidden topics.... Scott |
