Seems to be a great organization. I'll be glad to have something similar in Mississippi.

NoloContendere · 04-17-2007, 20:17

I'm going to set it up similar to the VCDL. I am NOT a web-designer, but hopefully it could be something that others could help with.

We could be a powerful force. Laws WILL be changed next session. I will personally work on getting them changed.

MidnightJMC · 04-17-2007, 20:45

I'm here to help and I'm sure others will be too.

I have a few in mind. Some I shoot with, that would probably be interested. I'm in touch with the VCDL board about how to go about setting this up. They are a non-profit organization 501(c) corp. I need about 5 individuals that are EXTREMELY devoted to seeing this set up.

PM me if you are VERY devoted to this. If you just want to sit back and watch, that's ok too, but I need hardcore, get out and talk to people, don't ever back down type of people.

This organization is going to be ONLY a firearms specific group. We are not going to tackle anything but gun laws. The VCDL advised me to keep it gun specific. They said that some will try to make it about illegal immigration or other issues and that if we don't agree exactly on issues, it would destroy us... so, to keep it about gun laws only. Makes sense to me.

I don't care what other beliefs you have, as long as you are a pro-gun guy (or gal!). We're going to keep it pro-gun!

So, PM me, I'll shoot you my email address/phone number, and we'll get this started.

CentralMsGunFan · 04-24-2007, 12:43

Hey guys...just saw the post and I am a Petal, MS transplant to VA. If you want, I'll take a look around and see if I can find the guy that started it here. I think i know who it is.

I've spoken to most of them already that are on the board... I am in constant email contact with them!

http://groups.google.com/group/MSCDL

I've started a google group. I don't have the cash to have my website hosted, so this is how we're going to start.

Please join the group if your interested. Pass the link to ANY and ALL 2nd amendment supporters.

You can hide your email address if you desire, and I'm not going to do anything with them other than contact you about laws and such.

Would ya'll like this group to be private? And we'd have to invite people? Or public for anyone to join?

MidnightJMC · 04-29-2007, 14:23

I think it would be fine to leave it public for a while and see how it goes. If start getting too much spamn or whatever you can always make it private.

on setting it up.

NoloContendere · 04-29-2007, 14:32

the emails are already truncated on there... so that's a plus!

NoloContendere · 05-12-2007, 17:43

We have 6 'members' so far, and i've started making some posts on there.

You can change how you get emails, so if it gets busy you won't be getting a ton of them. I know how annoying that is.

Summer is almost here, and this is the time that the Legislators pre-file bills.

There is a ton of stuff to do guys. Let's make it happen.

Now there are 7.

Thanks.

Google seems to be anti-American and anti-gun. Are there other gun groups using google. I am interested in joining the group but I don't like google knowing my e-mail info. You may won't to look at ask.com

it's free. i have a domain, but can't afford to have it hosted now. so, i have to use what's available to me. I've also emailed the group to a few senators already, so I can't really change it now.

There are some gun related Google groups:

http://groups.google.com/group/talk....cs.guns?lnk=sg

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.guns?lnk=sg

http://groups.google.com/group/tx.guns?lnk=sg

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.guns?lnk=sg

http://groups.google.com/group/aus.politics.guns?lnk=sg

http://groups.google.com/group/uk.politics.guns?lnk=sg

I have not checked them all, but I suspect that there are many anti-Second Amendment posts in such places. Lots of garbage gets posted in such forums.

PS: You can create a one-time unique email account at, say Hotmail or Yahoo mail, and never use it for anything else.
