Just wondering why this discussion hasn't been locked yet? Still can't figure out what this has to do with firearms...

SwampYankee, there are times when things that are of national import, that have nothing to do with guns, get discussed here at TFL.
Yes. We have "bent" the rules today, as THIS is one of those times.

But for not a lot of money, you, too, could get to be oh so eminently human on your own board. VBulletin software is relative cheap, and the internet always needs another chat forum.
It was shut down when it went off topic.Someone asked a question about the firearms at the royal wedding. Got closed when someone mentioned the airplanes in the flyover. But the thread was about firearms and got barely anywhere before being shut down.
First of all, it's hardly "going under the radar". No one's trying to hide anything.The mods WANT to talk about this one so it goes under the radar. When the mods don't want to talk about an off-topic discussion, it gets squashed. Or if a topic strays a tad, it may get squashed quick, before it makes it back onto topic. Some mods are more tolerant than others and will post a warning but there seems to be a lot of closed threads lately.
Bingo.Yeah, Bin Laden is dead. But he's been in isolation for the past 10 years and a lot of people figured he was dead anyway. This changes nothing. It does not make us safer, it probably doesn't even make us less safe. And there isn't even a body because we were too afraid to hold onto it.
Colonel Summers told a North Vietnamese colonel after the war, "You know, you never defeated us on the battlefield." to which his communist counterpart replied, "that may be so, but it is also irrelevant."
