Conference Rules for "GUNS" echo conference.   Updated 02/09/96
--PART ONE OF TWO--
The "home" of this echo is 1:___/___
This is a FIDONET-originated echo.
The moderator is ________
1.  This echo allows both technical and political talk as long as
    it is related to firearms or the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
2.  Don't talk about anything illegal, such as how to build any
    illegal devices, or how to commit illegal acts. Don't
    express any ideas or desires or encouragements or enticements
    about committing illegal acts, or overthrowing the
    government, that's conspiracy. Also specifically forbidden
    are instructions, enticements, or encouragements about making
    explosives, silencers, full-auto weapons, or any other
    illegal or Class III device.
    Big Brother is watching.  That's not paranoia, that's fact.
    Don't write anything that you would not say publicly, face to
    face with a police officer or a federal agent, because in
    effect, you are. Don't write anything you would not want used
    in a courtroom someday, because all messages are journaled
    somewhere, by someone, I guarantee you.  Don't write anything
    you would not want your boss to read.
3.  It's ok to sign public messages with your PGP key.
    It's ok to publicly transmit your public PGP key.
4.  If you want to encrypt a message, please send it netmail, as
    the sysops paying for all this, and traditionally, echo
    conferences are not the place for PRIVATE mail.
5.  NO FLAMING, with some exceptions.  The following people may
    be flamed:
       a. liberals, except staunchly pro-gun liberals.
       b. anti-gunners, of all persuasions.
    This is a PRO-GUN forum.  If you're not PRO-GUN you are
    welcome to come here to learn, but not to spout drivel.
    Those who oppose the 2nd amendment run the risk of being
    banned from the conference, if, in the discretionary and
    arbitrary judgement of the moderator, they are not behaving.
    LIBEL, in the legal definition of the term, is illegal, and
    is forbidden in this conference.
    Playful banter and a sense of humor is allowed as long as it
    is on topic.
6.  Avoid the kind of message where the only thing besides the
    quotes is "Thanks" or "ROTFLMAO".  Use netmail for that.
    Try to avoid the off-topic, or meaningless, or one-liner
    "Thanks", or "ROTFLMAO", or funny-come-back types of
    messages.
6. a)    Let the moderator do the moderating.
7.  Networks permitted to carry this conference:
       A.  Fidonet, Zone 1.  No other zones!   (If you have to
           ask why, send private netmail.)
       B.  If you are a member of "other networks", but you are
           still part of Fidonet, in the current North American
           Nodelist, and have a legitimate Zone 1 net/node
           number, you may carry this.
       Gating or cross-posting to networks not listed above is
       expressly forbidden.
    All North American "other network" sysops please ask
    permission, it will probably be given, as long as you don't
    re-distribute the conference to unapproved networks.
    Networks not permitted to carry this echo:
       A. Any commercial network, including but not limited to:
           - Compuserve        - GEnie
           - Prodigy           - America OnLine
           - Bix               - Delphi
       B. Internet, Usenet, any newsgroup.
       C. RIME, except those bulletin boards which are also
          members of those networks specifically allowed to
          carry this conference.
