RMGO Stoops to New Low...

[flan7211]

Dudely,

May I first off say that you really have worked hard for gun owners in Colorado. May I ask though how RMGO support for this guy advances the cause? If our own members who are responsible and honest gun owners don't approve, how can this look good to the general public? Just saying Dudely don't support another sleaze support ideas, candidates, and legislation.

So as long as he supports the cause he can have bad business practices towards those whose rights he "defends".

Guys,



Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has literally thousands of supporters in Colorado. Would you like us to research them all, to find out which we’ll accept support from?

Rich Wyatt has been a Life Member of RMGO for more than a decade, when we first created the program. He’s been involved at the Capitol, working with RMGO to pass legislation like Constitutional Carry, oppose gun controls and expand our firearms freedoms.

No, Rich isn’t perfect. I'll let him fight his own battles.


But if I had $1 for every complaint I heard about gun shops in Colorado, RMGO would rival the NRA in funding (i.e. annually $370 million).

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve taken my wife and two small kids into a gun shop and had the owner/salesman drop the F-bomb (and more egregiously, use my Savior’s name as a curse word) half a dozen times.



Never had that happen at Gunsmoke.

I also know a lot of gun shops who make tons of money but aren’t willing to use it to fight against gun controls (or, frankly, the sell-outs of some who claim to represent our side yet advance gun control). Somehow, they think peddling their wares is the same as working for our side (it isn’t). More guns equals less crime, but more guns does not equal less gun control laws.

MAJOR POINT HERE:

RMGO was contacted by the TV production company, and we had no hand in choosing the shop or the show.

What we did have a hand in is WHO might appear on the show in each episode (which is why we sent out the e-mail).

We thought to give RMGO members a chance to be a part of the show, knowing the character and commitment of our members.

No matter what you say about Rich Wyatt, he has joined with RMGO in pushing the envelope on a huge number of firearms issues. I’ll let him fight his other battles, and won’t get involved in the gossip (Ephesians 4:25).

In fact, in the 19 years I’ve been a gun lobbyist Rich has been active, he’s pushed the envelope, and (maybe most importantly) he hasn’t compromised (which only a VERY small few in this state can claim). I think I can claim that for myself, but can count the others on one hand.

I knew we'd take some heat on this.


But, if there's going to be a TV show about guns in Colorado, RMGO is a natural (which is why the producer called us in the first place). I'd rather have our people on the show than, well, a toothless banjo player (now watch all the banjo music people scream and moan).


Guys, I've done enough TV myself that I'm not drawn to the bright lights like a moth.



My mom has PLENTY of VHS tapes with me on Hannity & Colmes, every major network, blah blah blah.



My ego doesn't need it. But does RMGO (or better yet, our national group, which is growing MASSIVELY now, NAGR) want it? You bet. Rather have people drinking our Kool-Aid than, well, you-know-who's.


Dudley

This guy can rationalize anything. What a joke.

I got a not-so-pleasant email from Dudley:

Unless my math is wrong, $0 - $0 = $0.

No, this isn’t about money. But, you (a non-member) are whining about a member.

Can you claim that?

In the end, if you decide not to support RMGO because of one of our members, you’ve got some other issues to deal with.

I didn't care to read the gibberish, but he's right. I'm not a member. So since I'm not a member, why am I getting this garbage in my inbox? Unsubscribed.

thanks for replying Dudley

[Irving]

RMGO did a great job advocating for campus carry.

Dudley, thanks for at least coming on here to try and explain the action.

[flan7211]

Well it's common knowledge the best way to win over someone's support and cash is to insult them. Duh. Yes and to better reason with us, so because this ass gives us money and you don't shut up.

[banks74]

Dudley is a solid guy fighting for the 2nd. I don't always agree with all the decisions made including this one with gunsmoke, but he is a good guy fighting for a great cause that benefits us all.

[Irving]

I just got the same shitty email from Dudley. I have donated money, while I was unemployed. I thought that I was signing up to be a member, but of course never heard anything back from RMGO except for the canned emails.

I was hoping that I got that e-mail too so I could unsubscribe. What a bullshit e-mail... give me a break...

EDIT: Score! I had an old e-mail from them. Unsubscribed!
