We Need a Storm

Just saw this over at Kim’s

Help Needed

Kim,

I’m writing you today to ask for your help.  Not for money, just to help spread the word about the abuses of the AFT against law abiding gun dealers.  We need a “blogburst” or whatever they are called these days.

Red’s Trading Post in Twin Falls, Idaho (Idaho’s oldest gun store) is being shut down by the ATF over minor clerical mistakes.  The owners and staff at Red’s are like family to me.  They provided a lot of help and advice to me while I was setting up my own business, and continue to help promote my firearms classes.  Right now, this is the only way I can help them back.

Red’s has started an online petition asking for fair treatment of FFL dealers by the ATF.  As of this time, they have only received about 860 signatures.  This is unacceptable.  One of the silly “Impeach Bush” petitions that will likely go nowhere has almost 19,000 signatures!

Please understand that this petition is not about Red’s Trading Post.  It is about all FFL dealers.  Law abiding dealers across the nation are being shut down for trivial issues.  Small dealers usually have to close as the legal costs would bankrupt them.  (Red’s has already spent $20K in their fight) This also affects the average gun owner.  Where will you buy your guns when your local dealer is shut down?

Read about Red’s battle with the ATF here.

Sign the petition Here.

It’s in the upper 900’s now.  I want to see at least 3,000 by tonight. 

Go. 

Now.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
