Where is Gunbroker?

Why am I getting email notifications from other boards about rallying the troops against coming legislation, but I have yet to receive anything from Gunbroker? Does Gunbroker think they don't have a dog in this fight? I don't even shop or participate on those other boards, yet they seem to want to be active. Why the silence over here???
Comments
No other board or gun auction I am registered on has sent me anything either.
The only e-mail contacts that I ever want to see from GB HQ are those which say:
Your item has sold.
To Mark, thats the attitude that got us, as a country, into this mess.
Somebody's gonna get schooled......Hehehe[}:)]

never again participated in this forum again in any way, shape, or form until today, and you feel you are in a position to lecture Gun Broker on why they have not been in contact with you?
The fact that GB somehow missed your single thread/post from two years ago from amongst 75,000 members and then neglected to keep in contact with you is truly a huge oversight.

You can, as a concerned gun owner, join one of Gunbrokers Partners, either the NSSF or NRA and get all the notifications you could ever read.

Mark, You may have misunderstand my intial post. The title was "Where is Gunbroker?" It wasnt an attack on you or anyone else. Yes, I only have have a few posts here. One thing I have learned, however, is that a high post count on the internet means nothing. It doesnt indicate experience, knowledge, or intelligence. Sometimes it only indicates extra time. I will go back and scan your posts for any "call to action" that you have made and once I find it I will come back and publicly apologize to you. Until then, you can contimue to shoot the messenger (questioner), this is, me of little post count.

You could not find time to participate in this forum over the past two years but now you will find the time to look over 200+ pages of my posts made on Gun Broker over the past decade?
Enjoy them!
Here is one from last week:

The only way it will happen is of the gun grabbers try for a Japan type ban on virtually all firearms...But our opponents are too smart for that. The actual numbers of gun owners who have military style semi autos remains very small and our enemies learned long ago that chipping away; one group of firearms at a time, gets them the results that they crave. The days of screaming for a total ban on handguns got them no where but arguing about the actual need for a 15 shot magazine or the so called plastic pistols gets them traction from those who are open to so called sensible gun control. "So you can't own a Glock...There are still plenty of other handguns out there that you can buy". Thinking like that is just what our enemies want. Demanding an end to all semi autos is of course something else that they what but it is far easier to attack the AR-15 rather than the Browning BAR hunting rifles.
I'd rather go down swinging than make any compromises because once we give up on one group of guns they will simply come after another and another and another until there are no guns left. When our opponents tell us that they don't want to ban all guns, they only want to ban those which are the most prone to criminal use, they are lying through their teeth.
To Mark, thats the attitude that got us, as a country, into this mess.
I believe you miss-read his post.
This is how I read it.

There is a GB newsletter that goes out but when this thing first came out it was not greeted with rave reviews; instead people were asking "Why am I getting this"?, "I don't want to be on a GB e-mail list" and "How do I make it stop"? I never figured out how to stop it so it goes straight into my SPAM folder.
:these same said people comment:

Okay so post count is meaningless but it shows at least I participated while you with all your infinite wisdom has sat by and watched. Even if I was wrong half the time that's some 9000 + posts where I was right or was able to help someone out with what I had to say. If everyone sat there and posted 6 times in 5 years this forum would cease to exist. I consider almost everyone here to be one of my brothers, just don't hit me up for any money. Your actually part of the problem.

PCN, you would be wise to heed just about anything Mark has to say. He has the post count he does for a reason. The same is true for a lot of members here that have a high post count. You, to this point, have brought nothing to the table that resembles anything close to intelligent conversation.
Your attitude so far will draw a lot of fire here, and rightfully so. Grab a pair of kneepads. You'll be ducking down a lot.[;)]
Dang the guy just asked a question. I guess the spankin paddle is out tonight.
It wasn't just one question he asked it was the way he asked it.[;)]

...who are you and where did you come from ???[:D][:D]
Guess you better just lay low for a while. These guys never miss a chance to gang up on anyone they consider weaker. Look at how they talk to JOE"S CUSTOM GUNS. Poor old Joe is 75 years old, don't spell very well and has very little experience with a computer and they put him down every chance they get. Was reading on another forum that Joes health is very bad but he is still trying to work. I admire a man such as that.

+1.
The last time I saw someone call Mark on the carpet it was over before it started. I believe he was challenged about having "assault" weapons in CA and Mark promptly whipped out the pictures. I wish I could remember the thread name.
My point here has already been stated by others, I don't believe it was the question so much as it was the way it was posed.
I don't know how my new found friend is doing plowing through those 207 pages of my posts but there is some interesting reading in there on subjects ranging from a kidnapping attempt on me in Albania, my hanging out with narcotics traffickers and the Bulgarian Mafia while in the Balkans (I don't deal in drugs but did you know that Turkish opium poppies make superior heroin?)) plus my many adventures in Central America and Europe. Heck, he might even learn a thing or two about the M1 Rifle while he is in the MC archives [;)]
Seriously though....Where is Gun Broker?
A corp that races a gun truck on a national scale.
What better way to politic The 2nd ?
Gun Broker is out front in such IMO.
Launching the attack before the threat has fully materialized is a waste of resources. Take a deep breath. We are on it.
Even my ego is not so large to imagine that there are those in this forum sitting by waiting for the go ahead from me to begin fighting for their gun rights! However, if some of you won't get off your duffs and do something about gun rights unless Mark Christian tells you to do it then I urge you to write (no e-mails or phone calls) your Senators and Congress persons and NOT to accept any compromises. Compromises are nothing but a win for our enemies and a loss for us so don't be fooled by talk of reasonable gun control.

I didn't know Mark knew anything about M1 Garands, learn something new on here [:D]
I've been recently contacted twice by the NRA, asking for my much-needed gift of $100 - $200 to help in the fight, in exchange for which they will bestow upon me their new all-purpose combo knife.
I wonder how much contribution money they sent to the company in China that manufactures all-purpose combo knives.
A good commander will use the element of surprise and strike first and strike hard with every thing he has. If you wait until the enemy is on top of you It's too late.
I don't agree CaptFun.

I do not disagree, however I also will not discuss tactics at the local watering hole in the hours before the battle.... [8D]
When its time to rally the troops, I'll let you know.
