Pulling from the other thread to not clutter the existing 29 pages.

Here’s a link to the Shooting Wire blog post: BARFCOM is the new NRA

Quoted:
Looks like we’re the new NRA. Hope the fudds like peeps, dickbutts, and tay tay.

From Jim Shepherd at shooting wire:

“Pete Brownell tells The Outdoor Wire Digital Network it will become the “backbone” of what he envisions as a communications outlet for the Second Amendment.

It’s already a significant presence with shooters, boasting a user group of more than five million.

According to former owners, Eduard, Juan and Jorge Avila, the decision to sell to 2nd Adventure was their realization that, after 23 years, the Brownells and their group made most sense. Like the Avilas, they say, the Brownells “see the importance, now more than ever, for having a free, unfiltered forum for pro-Constitutional voices and ideas to be heard.”

We’re told there are “big things ahead” and with a growing void in the pro-Second Amendment universe, it makes sense that a group with business acumen and a deep respect for the Second Amendment move both the idea- and the backbone- forward.”

I found this thread but pure luck after looking for it for a while after reading your post in the announcement thread.

Please consider a title edit that is a bit (or much) more obvious.

Do our ARFCOM criminal records get transferred or we start with a clean slate?

But will there be imitation crab meat?

On a more serious note I am cautiously optimistic and am looking forward to what’s to come.

This could be what everyone's been wanting, a hard core pro-2A voice with money and some common sense behind it. I will be cautiously optimistic.

Oh, and to Brownells, if you could do that $269 Polymer 80 kit and slide again, with the G34 slide too, that would be great!

I didn't say I was confused, I said I hope it doesn't become the normal name people use.
Barf is not appealing.

I get all of that. I'm hoping that it doesn't spread to everyone.

I don’t mind them as being the owners and using arfcom to bolster the 2 amendment

If they make this an arm of the nra we are screwed

If they use this as a different option to the nra I’m on board man. If they use this to create an alternative to YouTube I’m in. If they use this to come up with payment system for firearms I’m in

Etc etc
