Doesn't the term "illegal activity" cover guns? I mean, gun posession (and especially usage) is forbidden here..

A gun is an inanimate object that doesn't signify or advocate illegal activity.  I hoped my 'cross' example would get that across.
That cross example would have made sense if you compared it with the swastika. In that sense, you should be tolerant towards swastika's either.
But why do you think is the purpose (and the statement of the person who use it as his/her avatar) of a (hand)gun? Target practices? :roll:

Then, over the last week, I've had one close friend tell me that Amiga.org was banned at his work specifically because of the avatars, and another who got in "serious trouble" because his boss walked in and saw the inappropriate avatars on the screen..
Look, THAT is a valid argument to me. (and what would your boss think of a site wich displays guns?)
