Just a reminder April First is right around the corner so let’s remember Chris’s Boycott idea
Here’s how I’m going to do it. There are a small handful of anti-gun blogs, like Joan Peterson’s rathole, or Balder’s place, or Mike Bonomo’s troll-hole. There are also sites that give lip service to anti-gun causes like the Huffington post. There are also sites that claim to be pro-gun, but really aren’t like The Truth About Guns. Lastly there are a few left-wing sites that I read for opposition research. I’m going to not visit any of those sites from April First, until the following weekend at the earliest the 9th. For some of these sites like the real-deal anti-gunners, if done properly this should have their sites go completely dark. Now I don’t comment on any of those sites, its a waste of breath if you ask me. But if you DO, I ask you not to comment on ANY of the posts made during the blackout. People like Joan and Balder post only a couple of times a week, so there won’t be much that won’t get countered. But that will show as a permanent record how dead their blog was for that week.
I see this as nothing but good. Show them our power, and show how alone they are.
I’ll admit, I am slow on the uptake.
You’ve mentioned Truth About Guns being anti. Can you give me an example? Every time you’ve brought it up I’ve gone there to see what you’re talking about and I haven’t seen it.
He’s anti-open carry, pro mandatory training, against Constitutional carry, and if your house is broken into and your guns are stolen, its your damn fault if you didn’t have them locked up in a multi-thousand dollar safe.

And in the end its pretty obvious to me he’s not about furthering the cause, but whoring his site.
If you don’t agree, that’s fine, but I don’t see him as any better than the antis.
I now know why I wasn’t seeing it. I wasn’t reading the comments.
His posts do a decent job of seeming pro; when he replies to comments is where his wheels come off.
See? I just needed someone to wrap it up in a bow for me. Thanks.
No worries. The dude is a Fudd of the 1993-type. (not quite the Zumbo type…which is more obnoxious, but less dangerous) they may seem like legitimate sportsmen or people looking for “Reasonable Restrictions”, but really they just want to sacrifice that other guy to give them some shade to relax in.
“DO IT TO JULIA!!!!!”
Huh. I’ve managed to never visit all of the above. Ever.
How am I doing?
Very well indeed! 😀
Should be easy for me, only one I visited was Joan’s and her material has gotten stale lately.
It really has, tho I did get a new quote up from her….its not as easy to harvest as it once was.
She’s gotten to the last page of her play book, and she’s simply flipped it back to page 1.
Ok, I’d never bothered with Fagaro’s blog before and now I won’t in the future. Good lord!

Make ’em go dark…turn off the lights…make it so nobody’s home.
I launched a parting shot comment and now I will go silent until April 9th.
I’ll miss raising my blood pressure that happens when I see her responses.
She even got me to contribute to the NRA-ILA and renew for 2 years more.
I have completed my Common Gunsense withdrawal cycle and I think that I might never go back to her site. She is impervious to logic, reason, facts, data, and common sense…so why bother.
I’m hooked. I’m doing OK, but still have the urge to check.
I tried to Quit Mike Bonomo’s blog a few times but found its still worth a scan a couple of times a week.
Joan has been a total goldmine, thanks to her vetted credentials.
I’d nearly forgotten about the boycott; I hope everyone has gotten the word.
Dunno why I comment… maybe it’s like a cat who keeps letting the mouse go only to be pounced on again. Gotta get your jollies somehow, I suppose.
Well you fellas who do bother to comment do tend to rattle their cage quite a bit, and often shake loose some interesting comments.
