Why can't we have a firearms catagory?

Any references to firearms seems to fall under Outdoor Recreation/Hunting. There is a Religion Category, and Current Events, so Yahoo can't be against the entire Constitution. So, how about a Firearms category?

    Totally with you. A "Firearms" section would be a huge hit. They have one for Bullfighting for crying out loud.

    I agree it's a good idea but they won't do it because it's a touchy subject. There are still a lot of people that do not like firearms and they would throw a huge fit if there was a page devoted to firearms. And since Yahoo doesn't wanna take a stand and risk upsetting people they will not comply with our wishes. Plus I think the yahoo support team are from California, that should explain everything.

    I agree! The outdoor sports section needs more categories:

    - backpacking

    - mountaineering

    - firearms

    - airsoft

    - paintballing

    - skateboarding - take it out of Outdoor Recreation

    - cat fishing

    - fly fishing

    - boating

    Its been asked over and over again by answerers with no luck from Y!. Our questions, emails, etc. do not get answered. I have been on here for 2 years now and from what I understand it took hunters forever to get them to put a Hunting section in.

    Sorry

    It will never happen. It's not politically correct.

    Hunting is considered an accepted world wide sport.

    Talking about how a .45ACP 230Grn JHP will put a real nice hole in the sorry punk who breaks down your door in the middle of the night, is just too American for em.

    Good idea but it wouldn't be PC and the antis would be all over it....be glad we've got a hunting section at all.

    I agree. And a separate one for all the toy gun questions.
