Hum, is this in response to me mentioning the good firearms related shows on Outdoor Channel? I'll assume it was...
I didn't say they were enough...in fact I wish there were more like them as well as on larger networks. I didn't complain about this new show or you supporting it. Instead, I mentioned those other shows because they fit the bill for the type of show some here expressed interest in having. I mentioned them because in my view they are good gun tv and more people should watch them.
Many people here will not support this new show, will not support Wyatt and some won't support your organization based on their perception of your alignment with the two, that is up to them. I'll reserve my judgement. I will however help steer people that are interested in watching and supporting great gun tv in the right direction. No "reality", no "casting", just good gun tv.
PS Dudley - On a personal note, I was a RMGO supporter (I think my membership has expired and not by accident) but I really would like to suggest new tactics. I don't want to get in a pissing contest I simply want to give you my opinion as to how I think you can win more support. It is worth what you paid for it...
The thing that comes to the front of your emails is the request for money and the scare tactics to get it. I don't know what you do to protect the 2A because you don't give many specifics in your emails. One email comes to mind. You once mentioned the BATF wanted to take away our shotguns (which we have all heard about). The way you suggested we help stop it? To buy a book. You are using our money to fight the good fight and the best thing you can come up with is for us to buy a book?
Not once in the email did you give any sources, links or actual information. I suggest you add these things to your emails. Is there a bill being introduced somewhere? A memo from the BATF? Quotes? Newspaper articles? Put that info in your emails. You make us believe you have inside info...so why not share it with us? How are you going to use our donations and proceeds from the book to fight it? I know about this issue because I did MY OWN research. But you supplied me with NOTHING to fight it...no info, no facts, you just want money so YOU can fight it. Get us involved to better our odds. Tell us what specifically you are doing instead of just "RMGO is fighting this and we need your money." Your email updates are too vague.
Tell us who to write letters to. Tell us some facts or where to find them so we can form intelligent arguments when writing our representatives. Give us the tools to be members in the fight. You are the coach but you aren't helping us players get off the sidelines and actually contribute anything more than money. If you gave me real tangible information I would certainly join again and donate more. I'm not from Missouri but you really need to show me more.
