So much for their e-mail notification. I had to find out in this mornings paper. I guess when your e mail starts with robertsgunshop, they purge you from the list.
I put a notice on the IFC (Iowa Firearms Coalition) web site this morning and have received zero response about anyone showing up. This group, founded in 05 as Iowa Carry, seems to be headed downhill fast. As the Polk county (Des Moines) coordinator, I have about 200 people on a e mail list and can't even get any volunteers for a gun show that they get into for free. I don't know why I expected anyone to turn out for this.
I've chewed ass on the forums before about these people being all for our rights until it comes time to actually do something. Then it seems that everyone has something more important to do. Sometimes I wonder why I even try.
Today, 07Aug2013, I read another Illegal Mayors Against Guns gets hauled away in cuffs. Manuel Marono, mayor of Sweetwater, FL. At least for now he is listed as a member on MAIG's oun website. Link to the news: http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/Miami-Lakes-Mayor-Michael-Pizzi-Sweetwater-Mayor-Manuel-Marono-Arrested-By-FBI-on-Bribery-Related-Charges-Report-218525331.html
AJK--where did you get the info on MAIG membership? Neither are listed as coalition members on the site and I even did a Wayback Machine search for several dates going back into early last year and saw nothing for Miami Lakes or Sweetwater. Please advise, thanks.

ReplyDeleteDavid, I'm at work now, but this evening I'll get you the link I used. I also saved the web page in case it was scrubbed.
