[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1711558, member: 6845"] While I didn't say you have a tendency to overreact or sensationalize. I did say you overreacted or sensationlized your comments on this bill. As you probably know there are some gun rights groups that have a tendency to sensationalize or overreact to the details of gun rights bills. They send out emails of this nature to everyone trying to boost membership and revenue. When people start investigating the truth of the bills, it is usually found to be nowhere near what the gun rights group stated. There are a few groups that are openly mocked about this practice. My statement is to make sure you are 100% correct before you go posting a story like you did and make sure you have all bases covered since it can damage your credibility. It would have been just as easy to post: "SB1556 is potentially a very damaging bill to the gun rights of Oklahoma residents. We have not been able to contact Senator Ellis to discuss bill and its intentions. Please check back and we will be sending out an update when we find out its intentions." This give you many outs for the update story later. Due to Senator Ellis saying its "true intentions" were not as you described, it made OK2A look they were playing the "Sky is Falling" card. As an Oklahoma 2A group and seeing how some of the other Oklahoma 2A groups think in regards to our gun rights, I think lots of us are hoping you can achieve some improvements and become a great group to support. However, sending out reports like this repeatedly and having things said to be otherwise will only undermine your credibility in the long run. As you can see here, the interpretation of the bill varied and seemed very ambiguous. You can also see that several of us have already written our Senators to make sure they fight against the bill.
