    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

Handgun suggestion to staff

I was just thinking and saw a lot of posts about what people like and dislike about certain handguns, mostly in the semi autos. Maybe there should be a sticky or a tagged post that goes through certain guns and gives some background/specs about them. So a lot of people don't have to keep asking the same questions or trying to find the old posts. Here's an example

Semi-auto forum

Glock
Polymer frame
Easy to disasemble
used by many police officers
no external saftey
light trigger pull

Some dislikes or discrepencies between people
Angle of the grip is not liked by some

Beretta 92/96
Heavy all metal frame
external saftey ...

And just elaborate on some of those things. I just find a lot of people trying to compare guns that they know nothing about. It would especially give newer members or new people to the handgun market something to think about. Put the more popular brands/models up like hk, sig, glock, berretta, for revolvers, sw, ruger, colt Maybe even price ranges for the guns. Of course it would have to be written in an unbiased way. Just a thought from what I was seeing. I could maybe even help organize it by making a post of what people think about certain guns and get the background on them.
