Like:

No... really? The AWB was asinine? But they banned the Tec-9 assault rifle! And the OA-96 heavy machine gun! However could it have been a bad thing?

Anyway, the forums are a place made for opinions. The guns pages of movies, not so much.

Uh no, the quote is asinine because the Assault Weapon ban would have NO BEARING on whether Arnold could fire an AK47 to begin with. What page is THAT quote on? That should be removed because it makes no sense.

No no, I mean that sometimes descriptions of certain firearms will contain the words: "Assault Weapon Ban" alongside words like: "misinformed" "stupid."

True, not true, these words should probably be left out of the website.

Example: OA-93(got the number wrong last post, sorry)

"to keep the pistol under the ridiculous and arbitrary '50 oz. weight limit' imposed by the Clinton Ban."

Arbitrary = fine.
Ridiculous = arguable.

See what I mean? Nobody can find fault with you for calling the 50oz limit arbitrary. Because it was, just a number decided on. But since there are people who think it's not "ridiculous" it's safer to just not say anything.

Assuming you DO want to cut down on political bias.

I have to agree, I think we should try to keep the main site as politically neutral as we can. Or if a biased statement on a page is absolutely essential, it should be worded more professionally.

[ManiacallyChallenged]

Yep. Politically neutral.
As much as a place about guns can be. Not easy always, but worth it in the long run.

Taken from the "cold dead hands" screen shot under the M1911A1 entry on the Red Dawn page:

In the lead up to seeing the first M1911A1 we see this iconic bumper sticker - this saying was popular during the 1970s and 1980s and indicated most American gun owner's disdain for draconian gun control.

The bolded word should be removed. I'd do it myself, but I'm unable to edit the page.

[ManiacallyChallenged]

Ooh, what a choice word!
And yet, better to leave it out.

Why. It differentiates 'reasonable' from 'draconian', which is the spirit of the phrase (from my cold dead fingers). To leave it neutral opens the door for most people to infer that people who are against gun control are against any or all regulations period, which is false.
