Standard Mischief

Way back in October of 2007, an anti-civil rights newspaper editor named Laura S. Washington reworked and resold her NRA slamming story, “Let’s Pry Open Those Cold, Dead Hands” to another sucker. The major change? She took out the term “People of the Gun” and subbed in “The Gun Army”.

I think the reason why her opinion piece struck a nerve was that she tried to perpetuate the myth that the NRA has a massive army of brain dead zombies to do their bidding, and therefore can out-call, out-email, out-blog and out-argue any rights-stealing elitist asshole in these times.

Grassroots. While Laura complements us in a backhanded way about our activism and our tech savvy, she never really does anything to dispel the myth that each of us get a wheelbarrow of cash from the NRA to beat their drum for them. She never really gets the fact that we do this ourselves, and for freedom’s sake, for free. So when Laura pulled her second-stringer mischief, I decided to jump in the fray. There was already a website for The People of the Gun, I grabbed gunarmy.com. While I’ll admit the whole imitation thing was kinda silly, I still proved our tech superiority, as I went from zero to published website in less than 59 minutes.

Since then, I’ve done next to nothing with the site, so I’m planning to get rid of the thing. If anyone wants it, and if that anyone has any bit of pro-RKBA cred, I’d be happy to hand it over for free.

You’ll get a domain paid up till October, with renewal currently at around $8.99 per year. Privacy is available from my registrar for a mere $3.65 a year, on a per-day basis. You won’t have to expose your secret identity to me, either. Hosting is on your dime, but I’m paying less than $4 a year from my host.

I expect I’ll get no takers, in which case the domain will get snapped up by the “what you need when you need it” crowd just long enough to “taste” it and see there’s no traffic. They’ll then drop it like a hot rock.

If you’re interested, there’s an email address at the bottom of my blog.
