Interesting thought...turning into a bash session :)
Im fairly new to calguns and Im sure this has been brought up before at some point in time. However, I have noticed many that have been members for quite some time with virtually no posts what so ever. One actually in the marketplace selling a completed 80% lower. Illegal isnt it? Others almost sounding harsh or in some sort of defense about many of our views and concerns.
Any chance that we have some spies amongst us? Just kinda makes one wonder how and where they are getting alot of their info. I mean really, they do keep saying high capacity ****ing clips. And the new evil assault bullets.Theyre obviously not too savy... Just a thought! Last edited by Jason25; 02-11-2013 at 10:34 AM.. |

I've been a member for quite a while but only recently started posting. I'm sure there are probably some on here that are against the consensus here but you will always have that. People probably seem harsh or defensive because they feel that their rights are being violated and when something affects someone personally they get more passionate about it. As for the clips and assault bullets, probably can blame the media for that one.

I read a thread in the market place where the buyer who had 21 posts and became a member in 2007.
Ive also seen people rack up over 20,000 post within a 6 month period. Some just on here to shop or read info. Some like myself chit chat out of boredom. I'm sure there are other forums being spied upon for anti reasons, including this one. |

Thats kinda funny, Im reading this post and realizing Ive never posted here on CG ever. Yay first post!
Im here to read/learn and look at for sale stuff. I try not to get caught up in most things, okay a 'loner' if you must. Theres more like me out there, we dont say much, but we're there. Ive built 2 ARs and converted a Saiga12 since learning of CalGuns. From CalGuns I learned I can own the evil(looking) guns that we're all told are too dangerous for mere peasants like us to own. |

yay first post +1
OP: No, selling an 80% lower is not illegal in of itself. There's plenty of info around here in the stickied threads (stuck threads?) and what not. This sort of internet snobbery always befuddles me. Bill Gates could sign up on an MS forum and have plenty of teenagers with 5,000 posts in two months screaming "STFU NOOB!" at him. I for one do not equate logorrhea with intelligence. The sign-up date thing: I've seen, on Calguns, people deride others who signed up a few months later than they did, even though both had signed up years ago. Fascinating.

This is how it starts. Yeah I read a post on Calguns where a guy was saying they sell illegal firearms while questioning if the sale was a trap. The only people who really care about clips vs magazines are the anal ones. I could care less what you call them. I don't know what you are saying about "sounding harsh" or defensive about your concerns. People are people, everyone has an opinion and its healthy to debate. Most people are mirrors and treat you as you treat them. Everyone is allowed to join here. Yes there are several Liberals here who rejoice in rubbing our noses in the new laws....big deal. Many of us are on their forums as well... |

I don't see how but that's cool. Simply suggesting a possibility. However, maybe there's some things I shouldn't bring up until I have a certain number of posts under my belt.

Jason, i feel that you are over analyzing people a little bit. yes, there is DFG people on here, yes, there is cops on here. they are part of the firearms community as well. whether there personal and political feelings on gun rights/legalities are the same or not.
Diesel: way to be a welcoming member of this forum and treat people the same as you want to be treated. if you were newer to the forum and made posts for whatever reason and someone treated you in the jack *** way you are talking to jason i'm sure you would have more of a social life and would have found something else to do with your spare time a LOOONGG time ago. bottom line: jason is not the only one on here who posts about conspiracy theories, go search the hunting/fishing section, or how about the second amendment sub forum for people to berate there as well?? |

Sure hope you'd have more sense than to walk into a biker bar and start talking about the bikers out front.

LOL... people hate seeing themselves in a mirror.
you think I am treating you badly... re-read your first post and tell me how you would react to someone coming at you with that. There are two things you need to remember about the truth. 1) It sometimes hurts 2) It doesnt care if it hurts re-read your OP and place the shoe on the other foot. I am sorry you feel threatened by me, but you walked into a room and made that announcement about everyone else in the room and now you are butt hurt over the reaction. As I said, welcome to Calguns, a diverse COMMUNITY of novice, professional and hobbyist, who will all treat you as you treat them. Last edited by dieselpower; 02-11-2013 at 10:11 AM.. |

you walked into a room, filled with people you never seen or talked to before and said... "I have noticed many that have been members for quite some time with virtually no posts what so ever." what business is it of your how much a person posts, a little presumptuous of you don't you think...doesnt mean anything. and One actually in the marketplace selling a completed 80% lower. Illegal isnt it? No and if you take a step back, what are you saying here... that the Admin allow criminal sales? That the people here are criminals... How about you default to the position of the positive, not the negative for the first year here..OK? Then when you get experience with the way things work here, then you can comment on how bad the website is run and how illegal the actions here are...OR ARE NOT ILLEGAL AS YOU WILL FIND. Illegal posts get deleted very quick here and thats after several people tell the OP why it is. and you followed those statements up with... "Others almost sounding harsh or in some sort of defense about many of our views and concerns. " Without any reference cited, you toss a blanket statement like that into the room... Justify that for us. Please don't tell me to look here for it. You slapped us, so of course we would slap back. You then ended the outburst with... "any chance that we have some spies amongst us? Just kinda makes one wonder how and where they are getting alot of their info. I mean really, they do keep saying high capacity ****ing clips. And the new evil assault bullets.Theyre obviously not too savy... Wow... you have been here a whole month and this is where your mind goes? This website has been here for a few days prior to your arrival...how about you chill-out, read and gain some experience here before you start tossing comments at the group. How about you make a post in OT about you...what you are bringing here, your skills and how you intend to use Calguns. You are one little bee in a very large hive. |

I'm here to learn and share experiences as many are. Great way to show the guys or gals lower on the post count where they stand. I am one of few licensed operators in the state that brings you and the rest of the public fresh drinking water everyday. I shoot for sport/hunt with friends and my sons. Yes it's also irrelevant, but since you must know... Well there you go! Last edited by Jason25; 02-11-2013 at 3:42 PM.. |

Jason.
First thing you need to learn is that looking in the mirror can be a lot of fun. In fact it is my 3rd favorite thing to do. I love seeing myself in the mirror. The 2nd thing you need to learn is that douchebags are often seen hanging around where you don't want them to be. There are a lot of them sometimes. I hate when I see a douchebag around. It is disrespectful to all of us. The best thing you can do when you encounter a douchebag is to ignore it. Eventually the douchebag will disappear. If the douchebag does not happen to disappear then you should just move on. Nobody gained anything from poking a douchebag. Welcome! |

I retract my prior description. You come across as a butthurt as not even a legislative aide is quite this thin-skinned. Congratulations, you get the booby prize... a spot on my "Ignore" list.

It's beyond right and wrong. I can accept a thread starter that is in disagreeance. However, I will not accept a bashing as nobody here should.
