RedState right to challenge GOA membership in Open Internet Coalition

Posted August 27th, 2010 in Broadband, FCC, Government Regulation and tagged , , by Alton Drew

I was taken aback that a group that promotes itself as defenders of the second amendment right to own firearms would align itself with a group that espouses greater government regulation of our free markets. Gun Owners of America should not be faulted for leaving the Open Internet Coalition. They were probably confused by OIC’s misuse of the words freedom and openness.

I doubt that the mid-term elections had any direct bearing on GOA’s decision to bow out of the group. Conservative groups and commentators are taking inventory of conservatives in name only.

GOA should have imagined a world where buying a shotgun from Walmart took two weeks and a gun owner would have to disclose where she kept her shotgun and how often she cleaned it to any citizen who demanded to know.

So much for freedom.
