The other day, I blogged about a smartphone app for boycotting firms that support SOPA and noted (I wasn’t the only one) that it could potentially be a powerful tool for boycotts of all kinds. Well, who feels more strongly than gun owners about avoiding businesses who’d take away their fundamental rights? And who deserves more support than businesses that support our right to self defense? An online acquaintance, Sandy Sandfort, has decided he wants to do something about that. He’s looking for people with the skills and interests to do the job: 1. Techies who could create the app 2. Techies who could create and maintain the database 3. Info gatherers to determine the status of companies (pro-gun, anti-gun, neutral) A team would probably set some guidelines on making determinations about what qualifies as pro- or anti-gun. Sandy envisions that developers and maintainers might split profits from sales of the app, but I’d be more inclined to think of this as a volunteer project, with the possibility of money being a plus. I told him I’d help put out the word and put him in touch with interested folks. If you’re one of those, either email me at the special address for the purpose: boycottapp at hermit dot cotse dot net or put a note in the comment section. Give your correct email address where it asks; the address won’t show, but it’ll see it and pass it along. Claire Wolfe
For those interest, the NRA keeps a list of National Organizations With Anti-Gun Policies.
