RMGO Stoops to New Low...

[Ah Pook]

There are a few people on this board that I have a real respect for. Considering this thread has gone three pages and the Gun Smoke thread (in the Dealer and Range Review) has gone on for two, I'd say the people have voted with their feet.

I applaud the actions of Mr. Brown to defend gun owner's rights but I do not agree with some of his choices of association.

For what it's worth, I started following Mr. Brown and RMGO while listening to Norm Resnick's radio shows back '97.

Wow, this thread is still alive and kicking? It would seem that about 50% of the folks on here are anti RMGO and the rest are either indifferent or in support of them. If I believed my RMGO subscription was doing nothing more than padding pockets I would agree with the first 50%, however I see RMGO's name pop up in the news enough to know that something IS being done.

If it does nothing more than pay Dudley's salary and his job is to lobby for gun rights, then I support that. If Dudley makes $0.03 per hour and the money is going into lobbying for gun rights then I support THAT too.

I can't even count the not-for-profit groups that squander the donations into salaries, big getaways and all of that - but I give to them anyway. Remember the Red Cross? Well, I still believe in them because they are doing good, despite their problems.

I don't know, this is a lot to do about what amounts to a couple bucks a month. I pay MUCH more for a dinner out than I give to RMGO in one year so I'm not going to sweat it as long as I continue to see results. Yes, the fear mongering sucks, but that is the non profit game folks!

As for Wyatt and Gunsmoke. Ok, they suck. Sons of Guns sucks too (IMHO). Half of the crap on TV sucks in general. Just because Dudley plugged them doesn't mean my donations are funding the show, so honestly I don't really care since I'm not going to watch the show anyway.

I'm not an RMGO junkie, I'm just looking at this whole thing as such an insignificant drop in the bucket that 15 pages of thread to piss about it seems such a waste of time.

I wish we had a "like" feature on the board. I agree with Ranger.

Wow, really Nynco? Awesome, glad we can find common ground buddy!

well I have decided I hope the show makes a ton of money, RMGO gets a ton of it to help support our gun rights, wyatt gets enough to retire and lets someone else manage gunsmoke where they will treat everyone good and take care of the customers.
I would consider that a win-win as long as they do a good job showing responsible gun owners.

I call em as I see em. We may not agree all the time. But I would rather search for and acknowledge common ground than, adversarial disagreement alone.

RMGO isn't getting one cent from a TV show.

The e-mail we sent out is the extent of our involvement with the show. Hope it turns out well, but never underestimate the ability of Hollywood to add some negative drama to it.

FYI Fox 31 has had a truck and crew over there all morning. I assume they are doing a news story to air soon.

Well they are doing it about Wyatt and the bimbo squad. Don't think Holywood is going to have to do to much in the way of twisting this against gun owners.

Wow, I thought this topic was dead...
