Gun Free Zone

Stolen from Alan A.

I am going to tell you  little secret: In politics, OPTICS MATTER.

It strikes me as amazing that the Civil Rights group that was first successful to use the Internet to network and coordinate the fight for gun rights, is now so behind when it comes to Web design.

I am just going to address Florida Carry  and Florida Sport Shooting Association because they are both local and I belong to both.

These are their main pages:

.

I am pretty sure that whomever designed the sites, has since then graduated from high school and probably is married with kids by now. Both pages need a serious makeover as soon as this legislative session is over.

And yes, I  know: Social Media is more important and blah-blah. But people will always end up visiting website for the substance of the organization. We cannot afford to look as if we are a forgotten site from GeoCities or MySpace, specially when domain names and hosting packages are so cheap nowadays.   If Dudley’s clone page for Florida looks halfway good, the true Gun Rights organizations have no excuse to look like After-School projects from the Clinton Era.

Come on! Even this blog looks better!
No wonder we are not being taking seriously. We are the internet equivalent of the weird old uncle still wearing his 70’s leisure suits for Thanksgivings.

For a group of people whose biggest joy would be to buy almost every single new gun and gadget that is presented during the SHOT show, we seem to have no problem with decades old web design  still representing us.

Exaggeration is not a new thing when it comes to guns.

From April 7, 1994 till July 1994, an estimated 600,000 human beings were massacred with mostly farm hand tools. Possibly the biggest failure of the United Nations and in my opinion it killed whatever credibility they had to ensure or at least try to stop evil in the world.

“We are as Peace Keepers, not as Peace Makers.”

Reader 50calTX was kind enough to inform us Texas Gun Rights is an affiliate of NAGR and our “friend” Dudley brown.  And yes, they appear as so in their website.

So they screwed Colorado with the 30 round magazine law and now Texas with Constitutional Carry.

If we could only direct a smidgen of the hate the Chest Thumpers have for the NRA to Dudley and company… but no because they call themselves  NO COMPROMISE!® and that means they are good!

Two guys, a computer and a bottle of tequila on a Friday night.

“I am telling you, people will believe anything they see in the Internet.”
“Oh bullshit, I bet you I can come up with something nobody is gonna buy.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know, pick two things random things.”
“<thinking> I know! Health Care and Common Carriers. Hell add Government to that!”
“Holy crap. That is hard!. Lemme see what can I come up with.”

One month later.
