Bam.  I'm pretty sure Arf Staff has said it before, but lots of people believe Arf wouldn't give up member info if the right people asked.  So, just quoting this for the record.

And man, this has been a shitty year full of shitty changes for me: NRA backstabbing, Several things in my hobby life drastically changed, work shit changed, and now Arf 'bending the knee' left and right.

Sad times indeed.

Has got to be ATF or IRS.  Doesn't really matter which, both exist to be assholes.

The site has been getting a lot of “emails” lately.

How would a group buy through (insert name here) be different than buying off their site without the discount?

This issue is easily remedied without shutting down the forum.

Uhh--hate to get like, LAWYER like and stuff but..

1. No subpoena, they can fuck themselves.

2.  Unless said subpeona SPECIFICALLY said you cannot disclose the agency involved, then under Public Records laws in every state I am aware of, and under FOIA, then you CAN disclose said agency.

3.  If the subpoena HAD a "Shut up who it is clause", then you SHOULD be afforded a right to challenge the non-disclosure.

This whole sounds fucky, and I do this for a living.....

I pay to enjoy this website because I deal with fuckwits, addicts, and liars ALL DAY LONG; this website was for general enjoyment and to talk gun stuff.  You disclose MY personal info absent a subpoena that I as an aggrieved party have a right to challenge, and we are going to have a problem.
