RMGO Stoops to New Low...

I wish I had a personal relationship with them but I dont. I'm sure someone here does though.

Ohsweetjeesuslordalmightyhavemercyonoursouls! What a disaster that would be. "Here kiddies, this is how you should treat people that are stupid enough to do business with you. Bone 'em and bone 'em hard, they deserve it! They're stupid, remember? Especially the ones that will do business with you through the mail or over the internet."

I really just hope they can be as creative with the name of the show, as the creators of "Pawnstars" and Hardcore Pawn" can be. Perhaps we should be focusing on naming the show. Like.....hmmm.. let's see. "Show Me Your Walther PP" Or "Glock and Balls" I dunno, maybe all the effort and emotion could be applied positively here. :)

Tell the story about how and why our forefathers used and needed firearms, and why their ownership was written into our Constitution (2A).

Tell about all the uses for guns of all kinds, from plinking at cans with .22's to hunting the biggest game in North America.

Educate the public that guns are NOT just for killing other people with. Design a show around this premise.

Cover everything, from Boy Scout BB gun classes to trap shooting to CMP matches.

Interview collectors and find out why people love to collect and shoot old military rifles. Explain why some of us want/need more than one rifle or pistol, and why some of us have dozens of "the same one", such as Garands, M1 carbines, 1911's, Enfields, Mosins, shotguns, precision rifles, etc.

Go to machine gun shoots and cover those, and interview the people that go. Tell the world why we love to shoot them. Explain the rules of ownership and the costs involved.

Visit with CCW carriers and trainers, tell the story of why Americans feel the need to carry weapons to protect ourselves from the scum amongst us. Talk to people about the Open Carry movement, educate the public that it's NOT illegal to do it, and those that do are NOT "cowboys". Tell the stories from a real perspective.

Visit with REAL gunsmiths, not "personalities", and ask 'em what makes guns and ammo tick. Educate the world about all the various firearms and ammunition. Hell, they could do a whole episode just on reloading and bullet casting, and those of us that love to do it!

Visit with firearms manufacturers to show how they're made. Visit with custom gunmakers (again, NOT egotistical "personalities" who build wierd shit that scares people) and showcase the ART of fine firearms.

Cover some gun clubs and ranges, and how things are supposed to be done. The Four Rules, range ettiquete (sp?), etc. Show kids shooting and being trained, interview the kids for their viewpoints.

Show the trash dumps and Bubba Ranges where people shoot up trash and leave it, and educate people that this is NOT what our sport is about, and these are NOT responsible gun owners. Turn the spotlight on the clowns, and maybe those who ARE those clowns or know them will change their ways a little. Nobody really wants to be known as a dickhead.

And of course, a major theme of the show should be telling the story of the ongoing struggle to KEEP our rights of gun ownership, and the pursuit of the sports we love and enjoy. And our rights to carry weapons and defend ourselves, our families, and each other from the criminals that infest our society and seek to victimize us. Turn the spotlight on those in Washington who endeavor to strip our firearms and our rights away from us, go interview them and ask them WHY? We know who most of them are, the rest of America needs to know also!

We could build on this list for days, but I think I've made the point.

I don't know, but I think a new series COULD be a good thing, if it was done right. But dragging in assholes like Wyatt to be "personalities" to speak for us ain't gonna cut it.

I would watch that show for sure. Better than the other trash tv gun shows. Sounds like the one at Gunsmoke is a turd sandwich as well.

Dudley, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time and getting involved with this thread. Though I definitely could never support Wyatt or Gunsmoke, the fruit you and RMGO has produced is definitely good and productive over the years. In spite of what others may protest, I think you have presented your case on here well.

You just might be after this thread...........[ROFL1][ROFL3] I have no issues with RMGO, you guys are doing the best you can. However, when it comes to Gunsmoke, I must side with the majority here.

Driftwood, thank you. You are kind.

Off the board, I've gotten dozens of e-mails from people who say much the same.

Those kind of comments makes what I do (every day, 24/7/365, often at the expense of my family) worth it.

I know the guys at Machine Gun Tours. Yep, they'd be great -- but I'm not the person you need to convince.

Go ahead and buy the Production company who's making the film, then you can choose your tv star.

Actually, that wouldn't even work. It's a [as yet unnamed] cable channel.

Congrats Dudley for siding with one of the worst companies here. Doesn't matter if he bought you off by buying your lifetime membership, his shop and personality are still horrible.

You'll never see another dime from me. Your 10's of thousands of supporters is now down a couple due to your poor decisions. Hope it was worth it for you!

Bad judgement and associates is what eventually was the final push to decide NOT to join RMGO. If Dudley is making friends with guys like this, and letting these kinds of people, business owners, and gun owners it makes me wonder who else he'd let join the cause and help to "fight the good fight." I don't want Rich Wyatt taking his ideas to our lawmakers and representing the gun public with his terrible business practices. I guess Dudley never was informed of the old adage "Guilty by association." Any law enforcement or legal beagle will tell you, 75% of who you are is influenced by the company you keep.
