I'm not talking about trolling them, I'm all for creating our own pro gun side of social media and get more people into the gun hobby.

Well, I went by Bowers anyway and also the gun shop in Parker, and both of them were closed. Bummer.

Yes, I am. I have phone numbers and email addresses for all of my 'friends' and I therefore have no use for Facebook. I signed up and tried it years ago, biggest waste of time aside from reality TV.

That makes as much sense as saying "Are we just giving up on Brussels Sprouts and let the vegetarians have them all?"

I DON'T FUCKING WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN FACEBOOK ... even if it was mostly conservative, I have plenty of other outlets for social media and I don't need that time wasting, poorly designed, mostly annoying outlet.

The point still stands though, that its a bad idea if you want to reach the largest number of people and especially conservatives (which the majority of gun owners are) by limiting yourself JUST to ZuckerFace ... that said, the ballot initiative folk DIDN'T DO THAT. They have a web site http://putittothepeople.wordpress.com/ and we've been talking about it here on this forum for months (maybe shoulda made it a stickie or something in retrospect).

No, but that doesn't mean I'm going to provide them with my personal info and also provide them with more money via my traffic. You do know how FB makes money right?

Heck, I can easily cite many instances where thanks to calm and well thought out posts I've even converted some that were against us before. It's a social outlet which means it's literally whatever YOU make of it. You don't like someone's viewpoint or post style? Unfriend them and move on with life. I don't understand how some people manage to get through life so afraid of technology and how it's going to take over their thoughts and make them start pulling the lever for (D).

Not the people ON facebook, the owners/CEO, ect OF Facebook, do a little research into Mark Zuckerburg. And For your info, I used facebook for a long time until I learned all sorts of interesting info on the owner/pres/CEO of Facebook, and then how they make money and who he donates money to. Using that site regularly is litterally giving our opponents money to fight us with. Do some learning on exactly what you're giving up to social media outlets, and how they make their money and you might see that it's not what YOU make of it, it's what they make off YOUR useage. Ever wonder how they manage to make money when every service they provide individuals is free?

They take subscribers info, make money with it, then donate significant amounts to our oponents.

If a service is free, then you aren't the customer. You're the product.

I've been to several of the places listed for the Metro area in the last few months, never saw a petition or was it ever mentioned by the counter help. Go figure.......
I'll make sure I swing by one of the listed places and sign before Turkey day........
