This is still a little bit rumor so it is not clear if it was a fat finger mistake or intentional. I would like to see an official comment from GoDaddy or the site owner.
I don't own guns, don't care for them, couldn't tell you the difference between an AR-14 and a AR-15, but the forums on that website did show up on Google search results quite often. There were some interesting non-gun discussions that I found via Google Search, kind of like Hacker News.
If GoDaddy nixed the site for a political reason - which is still not clear - I wonder if Hacker News could ever get similar treatment in another country, in the basis that "Hackers" and "hacking" has a criminal connotation.
