More difficult? I got the same email today. Took me all of about 30 seconds to update my info.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Yep. They have criminalized words like they have certain standard capacity magazines and other gun things.

Not doing squat is easier than updating info. Doing something is indeed more difficult than doing nothing.

He didnt say it was excessively difficult.

I'm just saying it wasn't difficult at all. Did it take more effort than doing nothing? Yes. Was it difficult? No.

It goes without saying that I am stupid and ignorant but was able to update the info without much trouble just not a great typer or speaker unlike others but working on it.
I was saying it is BS just to be a part of a gun website email subscriber list you have to fill out your address and birthday because of political BS. I'll try not to post again until I am able to communicate sufficiently. Sorry man...

No worries! Honestly I thought it was kind of stupid myself (the email, not you). I don't know how a bill in California can affect all the members of the CMP that don't live in California. Some gun sellers won't deal with anyone in California because of their BS rules. To my way of thinking, CMP should have told them, we'll just stop emailing our members in California if they don't provide their info, but we'll keep emailing our members in other states the same as we always have, **** you very much.

And just now...

As DD said, what exactly does some lunatic rule California have to do with everybody else? I’m missing something here I guess.

If CMP is making all of their members jump through a small hoop because of west coast idiots, that sounds like CMP is almost as dopey as California.

Edit: Doggy daddy for the win!

I just went in and tried to delete my info and it wouldn't let me. Website still says it's required. So they got City, State, Zip and my birthdate - 01/01/1901.

Dang, I knew you were old, but…

 

[92FSTech]

If you've ever ordered from them, they already have that info, plus a lot more. It looked like the issue was not a gun law thing but rather an e-commerce law related to mailing lists...that it appears the CMP may have misunderstood the application of anyway.

Wow, I never knew we had the same birthday. What a coincidence!

Do you also happen to live anywhere near 123 Test Street, Testville, TN, 44444?

Got it too.

 

[bgcatty]

This is getting freaking ridiculous! I mean don’t the idiots in Commiefornia ever read the Constitution or recent SCOTUS rulings? Members of the 2A fraternity will eventually challenge the restrictive States and win. It will take time but we will prevail!

 

[Born2vette]

Had to give age and zip code to NRA to download Shooting Illustrated this month as well.

 

[Cameramonkey]

They need a way to either not send mail to CA residents, or send only certain messages there. I recall an issue that involved a young firearms competitor being hampered by this bill. Something about not exposing minors in CA to firearms.

Its ridiculous.
But now with the basic info, they can tell their system "send this standard communication to everyone NOT in CA. "

Damn IT!

 

[Cameramonkey]

this is the reason, btw.

Gun groups challenge California ban on firearms marketing to kids

The publisher of a youth shooting magazine and several gun-rights groups filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging a recently enacted California law banning the marketing of guns to minors by manufacturers and others in the firearms industry.

This is the story I mentioned earlier, and how it harms kids in shooting sports. From this point forward, you wont find any Olympic competitors or collegiate shooting sports kids coming from CA. Sad, really.

Please Help Get Lola's Story Out!
I am the father of Lola Fitzgerald a junior youth competitive shooter who is a four-time Skeet All-American, a three-time Junior World Champion, and a four-time
California State Lady Champ in Skeet shooting. She is also a minor under the age of 18,
residing in Rancho Cucamonga California.
Since the passage of AB 2571, because my daughter is a minor living
in California, she has been cut off from some of the national youth shooting groups.
For instance, she can no longer receive emails from National Skeet
Shooting Association, a leading organization in her chosen area of sport skeet shooting, that would
otherwise, alert her to events and registration information for upcoming
competitions.
My daughter is unable to contact USA Shooting, and they are unable
to reach out to my daughter, because of her age and the reasonable fear that if they
do advertise, market, or otherwise communicate with her (and other minors in
California) the organization will expose itself to substantial civil liability under AB
2571.
My daughter has also been unable to log into sites to see future
tournaments and standings of the shooters as they compete.
All publications have stopped coming to my daughter, and coaches are
canceling training clinics that she would usually attend. We are unsure if we fly
our daughter out of state to train whether the coaches would be in violation of the law because our daughter is a resident of California.
Communications that we had with recruiting colleges such as Trinity, Hillsdale, Purdue, Jacksonville University & TCU have stopped
because they are unable to communicate with youth in California regarding their
shooting teams and opportunities because of her age and the reasonable fear that if
they do advertise, market, or otherwise communicate with her (and other minors in
California) they will expose themselves to substantial civil liability under AB 2571.
AB 2571 effectively destroys my daughter’s training, opportunities to
compete at the USA, Olympic, and World levels and has shut down her communications
with the USA & NSSA Shooting, and other national groups and recruiters.
