GRNC issued a press release. I may not have posted it, and if so I apologize. Like the rest of GRNC's "leadership/staff/core group of volunteers," I occasionally get overwhelmed with work (I travel heavily out of state weekly, have a family, a home and a farm to maintain-I miss stuff.
If anyone is willing to help please let me know and email me at
[email protected] or go to our website for a list of volunteer opportunities <
https://www.grnc.org/defend-your-rights/volunteer-for-grnc> . Reviewing this thread, I see there have been some offers extended, apparently I missed it.
It might be worth considering some of the accomplishments <
https://www.grnc.org/home/about-grnc/grnc-accomplishments> we (GRNC including all the activist who help by responding to our alerts and contributed to the cause) have achieved during the course of our activism.
As for the suggestion to "dump Marc" I feel that is an unfair request for several reasons. Marc does a lot for this organization and brings years of media and technical experience for no compensation; he does a lot of good. He would leave a vacuum that would be difficult if not impossible to fill.
Gun Rights are a sensitive and emotional subject for both sides. Some organizations have tried compromise and it has failed. Every compromise is a concession of our rights going back to the 1934 NFA, the 1968 gun control act, 1986 firearms protection act and the list goes on. When we have an opportunity to regain lost ground, when gun owners have handed the GOP a supermajority in NC we can't get our politicians to act. To say this is frustrating is an understatement.

CREATIVE EDITING OBFUSCATES TRUTH
In a
heavily edited interview on
CBS 17 yesterday, a GRNC volunteer’s remarks were taken out of context to imply that Grass Roots North Carolina opposes the sale of 80% lower receivers.
That assertion is false. The position which the reporter avoided relaying was as follows:
“If gun ban advocates are worried about 80% lowers, they should be truly alarmed by the prospect of people using 3-D printers to make guns in their basements, because each underscores the fallacy of gun control; namely, that you can somehow control the behavior of violent individuals by restricting their access to potential implements of mayhem. Prohibition didn’t work for alcohol, it isn’t working for drugs, and it won’t work for guns.
