One of the best pro-2A organizations in the country, the Virginia Civil Defense League, has been banned from Facebook with no explanation. The VCDL is all about the 2A and they fight far harder than the NRA for certain. I've watched people try to use them to further their agenda and the VCDL has always done an excellent job of not getting involved or tied to anything other than 2A rights. They organized a 30,000-50,000 people rally in Richmond, VA and had ZERO incidents. ZERO. They preach fighting this 2A battle smart. Last month, they organized a car rally and did an excellent job of providing maps, routes, window flags, decals, etc for anyone that wanted to support them, for free. These men and women fight every single day, at local, state, and federal levels.

Any time someone even remotely mentions taking arms or being violent, they immediately shut them down.

Looks like Facebook has banned them for good, with no warnings or no reasons. I'm not a FB guy, so it doesn't matter to me, but you can see the pattern going on here, they are silencing a lot of voices these days.

 
WOW, but not surprised. VCDL is a great bunch, they have tables at all the guns shows (next one at Chantilly, The Nation's Gun Show) and allow you to sell your firearms for free, donations appreciated. I use Fakebook to keep up with some old friends but that may change.

They really are great people. When our state got taken over by all D's, and everyone felt hopeless on 2A, they organized a grass roots campaign and rallied a lot of people to local government meetings and for the first time, the local politicians heard the voices of the people they represent. It caused over 90% of the local governments to enact Sanctuary Cities for 2A laws being pushed by the D's in Richmond. It was pretty amazing to watch so many locals get involved in the process.

The VCDL did that, they encouraged and supported people to get involved in their government. Who would have thought that was something that needed to be banned in 2021?
 
let me show you my shocked face...

Im thinking of having a gathering of Virginia HIde members at our local range in the spring, would of course be open to all. Ill likely invite Ashbury Precision Ordinance to show up as well and bring some of their great gear.Anyone interested get in touch via PM.
 
I would encourage anyone that has FB to delete their acct.. it will prompt you asking why you are leaving, let them know you do not agree with their censorship.. It will hurt them the most of everyone leaves FB.. I’ve been on MeWe and I like it just fine!

This.

except the mewe part... that thing is garbage... I deleted my account there back in November I guess it was... unless it has gotten better.


I deleted my facebook account in January... takes about 6 clicks and password inputs to delete your account then they still hold it for 30 days LOL... Fuck em... Im on Telegram which isnt great, but I got added to a few decent groups...

People should have been looking to other venues the minute the first pro 2a person was banned. Stevie Wonder could see the writing on the wall years ago. Had people shifted at the first sign of trouble big tech would not have the power it currently holds. Vote with your dollar. Quit giving them clicks. Support alt tech sites until we find some that will stand their ground. If they fold, kick them to the curb as well.

Do you remember Parler? We tried and THEY stomped on that one too.

MeWe definitely doesn’t have the foot traffic FB has but FB wasn’t built in a day (nor Rome 😜).. I’ve been on MeWe for about a month and it’s slowly getting better..
 
Are any of you actually surprised
....

Get peoples phone numbers. Because even forums like this will eventually be banned and label either hate speech or domestic terrorism.

Since I'm a white conservative male in the army , I'm now a domestic terrorist. I'll let you all know what they have to say once I get my stand down training in a couple of weeks here.

Unless mewe has improved, it was always a pain in the ass. When FB quit allowing guns-parts sales, mewe exploded some, but it still sucked, Don't the pages scroll backwards or something? New doesn't stay on top?
There was naked girlfriend group that was interesting for 3 days, that shit wears off quick too though.
My FB footprint is minimal. always kept it for messenger, way better than standard text. One thing with FB, whether you participate or not, it can be used as a barometer for politics. Some cunt is always going to spill his bullshit, count his supporters. Sickening as it may be.
 
I'm not suggesting this was a surprise, only noting it for others who might not be watching. Their email services were cut last month, now FB. I say this only because this organization is simply fighting for 2A legislation, they do not advocate for anything else. Their call to action is simply to get individuals involved in their government process.

Pretty frightening that you can't even advocate for civic duty without consequences these days.

Please do that. Hearing what this "stand down" involves without having it run through the media's filter will be good information.

As far as facebook goes, Mark and his minions can go...

Sometimes we are our own worse enemies.
Sometimes? Type "gouging" or "gouger" into the search bar and read through the results. I'm not going to sate a side here, but the vitriol on both sides is pretty impressive...

I reached out to my contacts that I ONLY had on messenger and got their phone numbers. Problem solved... Then I got on Telegram and got a bunch of them on there too... So still have a chat app that is not shit SMS.

Drop Facebook? How am I going to find out about PRS matches???

SMFH...

Get Telegram and start a local group chat and grow it organically for your PRS matches. I think you can have like 20k people on a group chat. Ive started a 2a group chat for my county. There are only like 10 of us on it right now, but its growing slowly as people get their friends on to telegram and then add them to the group. Its a different format for sure, but its something.

Several gun groups tried this a couple years ago and tried to get everyone to quit Facebook and go to mewe. It was a waste of time and effort, people don't want change bad enough. They would rather bitch and moan about Facebook and keep using it 🤦‍♂️
 
I am telling you, why do you think I am upgrading this place so hard,

By Summer this site will have a complete App, Livestreaming, Video platform, forum, etc, so we don't have to worry about the woke putting us to sleep.

This is only the first 30 days of the new Admin, it's only gonna get worse
 
Unless thousands (millions) of people delete their FB accounts, they won't take much notice. I've done it.

These same people that bitch about it regularly won't join together and delete their Facebook accounts but think they will get people to fight a civil war😂😂😂

Honestly, it's the best thing that could have happened to them. Now they have to move on from FB. I left three years ago. I suggest you do the same. No excuses. I don't care what you need it for. You don't. If you're being forced to use it, Even more reason to leave.
 
glad I already did delete my fb , twitter , and amazon account as well as canceled any and all sports tickets , cable tv sports packages I had or was thinking out getting they want to support terrorism or socialism in this country I will not support them . besides i am not watching tv as much as i have in the past too many commercials not to mention shows I really don't wanna watch I can read more .

Hey, there's a big foosball game on tomorrow. Some pirates and some indians are going to use your viewership to make billions to further distract you from reality. Many of you won't watch the game but can't go one hour without fuckbook's distraction. All the time knowing that it is draining every bit of information on you.

That little POS ginger can suck it. I've never been on AssBook and have no interest to start now. They are trying to weed out this....

It's the continual pussification of our country where a cell signal or internet connection drops and they're sitting in the corner of a Starbucks crying and wailing for someone to call 911.
 
I havent had FB since 2011, after all recent happenings, my wife finally saw the light and deleted hers also.

Time to go back to the stone ages when we only had telephones and email perhaps?
 
Funny they running around yelling we’re Fascist, meanwhile, they are too stupid to recognize that the pairing of corporations to do the government’s bidding is the exact definition

then they cry TOS when you point it out, no, writing letters and asking them to do it, is true fascism

The true definition on fascism must also include militant patriotism and nationalism. Present day Vietnam, the Russian Federation, and China are examples of stable fascism.

The present day left uses corporations to enact rule of law in a resemblence to fascism, but they lack the nationalist and patriotic side. What kind of beast have they created? Perhaps they are loyal to the 9-dicked, 200-gendered octupus vagina god from Uranus instead. Which makes them a religious cult...
 
Careful, pointing out that the majority of the population are wilfully ignorant will earn you another label.
With the aid of microsoft and apple facebook, twitter and the likes have served their purpose.... Dumbing down of the population.
I remember back in the 70's talking about flying cars and all kinds of cool stuff like the Jetsons had. Now we can't get people to wash their hands.

I'll bet there will be a bunch of folks blathering on that stuff about "Private Company can do what they want" in regards to FB rigidly enforcing SJW dogma as the only thought allowed.

At least the Polish had a bit of a clue and were trying to do something about these evil global SJW mega corporations trying to tell the world what they can think.

Private companies can stay private UNTIL they start doing the government's bidding. At that point they are no longer a private company. This has to be understood, but the left will never admit that they have weaponized certain private companies to do their nasty tasks.

Nothing new, both Eisenhower and JFK warned us about that years ago.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist." Ike

And it got JFK murdered.

Looks like this is gathering steam and should be a real "hoot". Will there be edibles?
