Bass Pro Cancelled!!!! CCW Fashion Show - Presented by GOAL and MWGO

I'm not a huge twitter guy, but I just fired off a few tweets on this issue and hope that I get at least a few re-tweets. I've had luck in getting positive traction and responses when wronged by certain companies (airlines, cable, etc) and calling them out on it in a professional manner--publicly. Emails are good too--but easily ignored. With Twitter, there's no sweeping it under the rug. It's out there in the public domain.
We do have a chance to level the playing field with the gun-grabbers and liberal media who pervert the truth of 2A, firearms, and their supporters--ie US. Twitter, like it or not, is a battlefield that we have to show up on if we expect to have our voice heard and avoid being steamrolled by opponents of the 2A and everything that it protects.
If you have an account, please tweet--and be civil. The medium is a double edged sword. If you start ranting about "libtards" and socialist media and colorful descriptors for Warren, Healy, et al--you're going to wind up undermining our cause more than helping it by playing right into the "evil, gun nut" narrative purported by your opposition. I urge you to take the high road.
If you don't have an account, please consider signing up (no, I don't own stock in Twitter). Our adversaries are banking on the fact that we keep quiet in tacit admission that THEY are right, and that we're on the losing side of any argument because we're choosing to stay unengaged. We're either going to prove them wrong by speaking up and owning our narrative...or we're going to prove them right.

I am willing to bet that Amanda Suffecool and her brother will have this covered well on her radio show this weekend. I have been following her since 2005, as she is a well known Ruger Collector.

also, my twitter handle is @rstanton1

I'm not a very exciting follow, and have used the account mostly for work, but am planning on changing that with this as a first step. Hope I have some buddies (you guys) join me for the ride.

what is your call sign on twitter, I think following people is how you can re-twit

People, your emails go into a black hole.

Why aren’t you all on social media getting this to trend so it will actually gain traction? I’m guessing because most of you don’t have accounts.

This is why corporations, politicians, etc cave to the will of what you see as a “small minority”. Their voices actually carry 100 times the weight of yours if all you can do is fire off a phone call or an email.

How about everyone sets up a twitter account and establishes a network instead of typing an email and really get to work. Not only for this issue, but to combat whatever comes up next.

Not going to lie, I don't know how to use my twitter well, and I'm so far in the gunsafe on facebook that nobody would even guess I own an arsenal that could overthrow a small ranch.
 
I’m a member of GOME, and believe me, even the people out of state are PISSED! I’ll take this as far as I can, and my friends are right there with me.
 
I'm sharpening my pitchforks and preparing the torches, but I'm sorry I just have to ask...

They call up and say "Sorry, event postponed due to unforeseen circumstances" and that's it? Seriously? They owe a real explanation and should be pushed if that's all they can come up with. I've seen posts here saying it was confirmed that they caved to some SJW anti-gun something but no real evidence, quote, or paraphrase of what they said. If I missed it please point me to it. Absent that, it's entirely possible that they found out that they needed an entertainment license from the town of Foxboro and didn't get one, or a one-day liquor license for the cocktail hour. I've seen stuff cancelled all the time for those reasons. If we're jumping to conclusions please someone provide some evidence and not just the paranoia. Granted, it's not paranoia when everyone really is out to get us...

There's no solid evidence to anything other than "unfortunate circumstance"- just all ultra convenient coincidence, which is all you should need to grab the pitchforks and torches, cuz "Nuts and Bolts! We got screwed!" and "Elevator, Elevator, we got the shaft!"

It’s the same tactic as the left uses but don’t let that stop you.

You are welcome to sit this one out.
 
Jim Wallace needs to get this out on NRA radio Cam and Co. tomorrow. I know he is a regular contributor there.

I sent an email as well. I am a Preferred Rewards member and I let them know I won't be spending another dime in their store or on line.
