Obvious category - where is it?

Epinions is a great resource for first-hand reviews and is often my starting point when researching potential purchases. But there seems to be a category that is sadly missing from the lineup: firearms. I'm not sure if Epinions has a reason, but I cannot find a firearms category anywhere. It's a legitimate, federally-protected industry that infuses hundreds of millions of dollars into our economy every year.

Unless I'm missing it, in which case, please share the link with me.

Thanks

That's all well and good (and true), but Epinions has never included firearms in their product lineup. The Outdoor Gear Lead, Openroad isn't able to add firearms either. You're only other option is to email epinions directly through their feedback form. They may be able to give you a more in-depth answer than just "we don't have it in the database." There was also a bit of a discussion on the issue here, but not much was said.

RE: Firearms on Epinions?

Several Epinions members have written firearm reviews. There's a Writers Corner category where they can sometimes fit, though the better place to find 'em is in the hidden catch-all category in Sports & Outdoors. Look here and you'll find plenty of firearm recommendations and reviews:

(and no, I'm not pimping any review...I don't even have one in there (yet)).
