And since when is that against the rules? Because its offencive to a good majority of the forum.-Monochrome. So, apparently, the majority of people in this forum are offended by a picture in which a gun is depicted. I, however, think it's bullshit.  So, if the majority votes no, I guess that mod's justification for taking down the picture of someone holding a gun is ridiculous. I'm just bored. |

I think it really depends on the photo and how the gun is being held/used/portrayed, y'know?

Ditto Steph. It really depends, but generally no.

Cool poll.Hey, if people really think that the repeated posting of only Africans holding guns is fine, then cool. :] I think Kryo is still posting them anyway XD. And from the looks of this poll, since people are no longer (at least publically) offended, then have it.

how could guns be offensive?
maybe if its someone pointing a gun at someone i suppose... but even then it depends... guns are a part of life in this world (at least to some extent) and refraining from showing pictures doesn't make them all magically disappear..... |

A picture of a baby holding a gun is not the same as posting multiple pictures of the V-tech shooter in a joking manner a few days after it happened in. They weren't offensive, but extremely disrespectful.
