Click to enlargeI just got this and have not yet listened.
I do note some in comments endorse taking it out on the proprietors. I can't join that call because I don't know the facts. Here's the thing--it's not our livelihood at stake and based on all the talk and no action I observe from most in the internet "pro-gun" community, my bet is very few would come forward to help them fight this. It's a bit like watching the other barnyard critters complain about the Little Red Hen's bread not being up to snuff.
I'd venture unless a big outfit like NRA's Civil Rights Defense Fund comes to their rescue, and attorneys get involved who can convince Texas state authorities to issue some counter order or get an injunction from the courts, it's hardly any more fair to beat them up--with what we know at this time--than it is for us to condemn a gun owner for accepting a plea.
Hopefully there is something in the works. I'll need to listen to the segments, and again tomorrow, and perhaps I'll revise my assessment--perhaps not.
And no, I don't know which hour it's in or how soon it begins. Here's the main access page.
UPDATE: I'm listening to this segment now: http://podcast.gcnlive.com/podcast/alex/0118104.mp3
"Darwin" sounds like he's doing what he can and is going to fight this. His is a family business, so we're not talking unlimited resources here. It looks like Alex Jones will be going there at the next show in 3 1/2 weeks. Be nice if there was a game plan by then for supporting gun owners to show up and make a media/protest event of this.
It also sounds like the previous proprietor was caught on some stings and the feds are taking those out on the new guys.
As I listen, my sense is these are people we should be getting behind and supporting, not judging.
