I've come back to this, I get what you're saying, but at the same time, this is such an INCREDIBLY critical interest to the subject of the board that I think it's entirely unfair to the userbase that the subject cannot be actually be discussed at all.
Not being able to discuss it in any capacity on /k/ is a PROBLEM, and covering it under a blanket ban for all politics is a band-aid solution that just does not work. Large parts of /k/'s userbase do not have any interest in using /pol/ to discuss this kind of subject matter, for many, many users, it will simply not happen.
There MUST be a way to somehow make SOME room on /k/ on the subject of informing about upcoming and proposed law and policy changes about the very subject matter of the board itself. To suggest otherwise is to say that the board should intentionally avoid trying to preserve its own core interests, which would be unthinkable anywhere else on 4chan.
You would have to contend with people bitching about the jews, the blacks, the gays, the feminists, the women, the communists, the nazis, the illuminati, how my chad ideology is better than your cuck ideology, etc, etc, dicks in my ass, These are already a problem which is already to be dealt with anyway.
The current policy is not acceptable, and a different approach and solution must be found somehow, even if that solution is something as awkward and retarded as a rigidly moderated general thread which a few us have to babysit to keep it in check.
People need to be able to know and discuss what changes are coming up in which jurisdictions and what options there are regarding it, as well as how it can affect them. This is even larger than for just the American userbase, there are countries elsewhere in the world where these kinds of rights aren't as well defended, where entire fields regarding weapons and shooting sports can be eroded almost over night. To me, we are failing that camaraderie by not looking out for each other like this.
