MSSA contacted me asking about the ability to do fundraising auctions for items donated to the Montana Shooting Sports Association.
As we don’t have anything well established yet, I had to turn him down and suggest he use groups or classifieds. I hate doing things like that! I have created a new group titled Montana Gun Auctions & Raffles at https://montanaguntrader.com/groups/?auctions-raffles/ – It however will be useless if we don’t get people to join to get notifications and bid/engage. I am honestly not a huge auction fan. But they do work good for fundraising and for dealer raffles which can be fun. We do need to figure out how to set proper bidding rules, etc. I will leave those parts up to you for now until we set some standards. If you are not in Montana and looking for a social network offering the same for national auctions and raffles, Join the new Firearm Friendly Auctions and Raffles Group at FirearmsFriendly.com.

American Democrats are a unique catagory... they are not democratic socialists or communists... they exist mostly to battle Republicans... they also advocate for really stupid shit but that comes primarily from the asshole doners who pretty much controll both parties...
democratic socialists... think denmark, sweeden, findland, norway and by extention, iceland... the happiest people in the world according to years of studies...
communists... think china and russia...
what we as Americans need to deal with is fucked up influence of special interests and money in our elections, over reaching tyrants, two parties focused on screwing us over and fighting each other and keeping us unfocused and divided... our greatest flaw is not paying attention to the scoundrels... how many times have we heard or read about completely rogue law enforcement destroying politically incorrect people... we see images of Americans being brutalized just as horribly as anything you'll see in china or russia... i'll bet y'all can come up with 50 federal agencies that do not provide a damn thing an in fact, are focused on destroying us individually and socially... in a coule years (if not sooner) we'll all be safer because big brother will see and hear everything you do...
i admit to being especially harsh on our country but thats because i live here... i do not give damn about the aweful 2-party propaganda, the crap comming out of the white house or the biased talking heads... i see the horrors ahead and either our elected monkeys can not or will not act...
so who actually runs this land of the free...
