I have left a message thanking them for posting a list of sponsors on their web-site and letting them know it makes it very easy for me to know who not to do business with. I was very polite and told them I would check back periodicly to update my boycott list
By the way here is a partial list of the assault force we are facing
Anna Banana, The Clown with A-PEEL, Sunrise, FL
Little Eric's Shoe Store, Millburn, NJ
Dem Two Hands, Montclair, NJ
Anthem Lady (Apple) Pies, Maryland
Gepettos Toy Box
Ding-A-Ling Communications
No I am not kidding it is on their page
Also here are a few of their "Goals"
No military-style assault weapons should be allowed in civilian hands.
(How will we defend ourselves against the foes listed above
)
Every semi-automatic pistol should have a prominent, unambiguous indicator that clearly identifies the presence of a round in the firing chamber.
(A child would of course know what indicator to look for before pointing the gun at his friends)
Every semi-automatic pistol should have a magazine disconnect safety to prevent discharge of a chambered round when the magazine is removed.
Every gun should have a grip safety or other similar device to prevent small children from pulling the trigger, even if the gun is unlocked. Locking devices should be integrated into the design of every new gun, so an unauthorized user cannot make it fire.
(I have seen some 12 year olds with hands bigger then mine!)
The serial number on every gun should identify the manufacturer, date of manufacture, model, caliber, and type of gun (pistol, revolver, etc)
(It sure would help me decide which ones used magazines and which used speedloaders, I could also keep them organized by age or type)
No gun should fire when dropped or bumped.
(Another brainer there)
Every gun manufactured or sold should withstand the forces generated by the ammunition it is designed to fire.
(There is an idea we would fight to the bitter end)
No magazine should be manufactured, sold or possessed by civilians that has a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
The sale of ammunition and ammunition components, especially for handguns, should be subject to strict record-keeping requirements and purchase restrictions.
(I would spend more time accounting for components then reloading)
Manufacturers and dealers should be required to establish and maintain strict security procedures to prevent theft, and should be subject to liability if, in the absence of such procedures, guns stolen from them are used in crimes.
( Instaed of the routine practice of leaving the guns in boxes marked "GUNS" in our driveways and parking lots)
Every gun store employee with access to guns should have to pass the same background check as the licensed dealer. Every private sale should be subject to the same background check as sales from licensed dealers.
(Then every one would be qualified as an FFL Dealer)
Stop the marketing of guns to children and criminals. We must stop the gun industry from promoting gun use among children and criminals. Strategies to accomplish this include the following:
(You mean no more Furbies or ski-masks included with the sale of handguns?)
The gun industry should be prohibited from promoting features that serve primarily criminal purposes.
(Criminals would be required to buy the guns that do not "withstand the forces generated by the ammunition it is designed to fire"
The gun industry should be prohibited from marketing guns to children.
(Again no Furbies as bonuses when you sell a handgun!)
