MCRGO BOD Attacks the First Amendment Many of you read the public statement that was posted on the MCRGO website that the operator of this site committed illegal activities. Unless the First Amendment has been declared illegal there have been no illegal actions. One can understand how they could make knowingly false statement when presented with information that is critical of them. However, the actions of the MCRGO Board of Directors go way beyond that. Members of MCRGO your membership dues have been used to pay for a law firm to write intimidating cease and desist letters in an attempt to shut down the free speech of this website and others. It appears that MCRGO BOD not only thinks they are above criticism but that the First Amendment does not apply to anyone but themselves. The MCRGO BOD hired the Bambery Law Office using your member dues and donations to write this intimidation letter full of frivolous claims and threatening legal action if I do not immediately close this website. Link Fixed Read the entire text of the letter. After reading the letter look at this site and try to substantiate the claims they made. Everyone knows that lawyers aren't cheap. Just how much did this attempt to shut down free speech cost the members of MCRGO? Why was the BOD willing to use your money to go to court to shut down free speech, when what they should be doing is taking the cities that are passing illegal CCW restrictions to court. Why did MCRGO just raise their membership dues? Is it to cover all the legal expenses from trying to fight the First Amendment? Shame on the Board of Directors of MCRGO for betraying the Constitution of the Untied States of America in their blatant attempt to intimidate people from free speech. Further, they publicly posted statement that they knew to be false, this opens all sorts of doors for legal action to be taken against MCRGO. Do you think the Board Members will dip into their own pockets to cover these expenses? I doubt it; they will use your membership dues. MCRGO Members it is time your throw out this regime of holier-than-thou board members who are using your money filling frivolous lawsuits trying to stop free speech. This is not what MCRGO is supposed to be about. I will explain the claims made and show that anyone could see the claims the MCRGO BOD had the lawyer make have no weight at all and they would be laughed out of court if they actually tried to proceed. MCRGO's Service Mark Claim: This is what the MCRGO BOD is claiming this website did. First, this is a website, not a commercial entity. There is no organization or corporation; there are no products or services. Finally, this site is about the MCRGO BOD. How can something be a competing entity with itself? This claim is so ridiculous I cannot believe they actually hired a lawyer and convinced him to put it in writing. But they did, using the name of MCRGO and your dues and donations! MCRGO BOD's Domain Name Claim: If MCRGO had any credibility left with the legislators the BOD has certainly destroyed it now. Members of MCRGO it is time to get a new Board of Directors.

Phil Webster resigned his position as an MCRGO BOD member before this incident ever occured. Phil is one of the nicest most pro-gun person that I have ever meet. Phil resigned because the other BOD members would not listen to anything he had to say. It is sad to see such a good person resign due to the actions of the current BOD members. |
