We got something to clear up this week gang. This past Friday hundreds of members received a rather legitimate looking e-mail, apparently from the government, informing the recipient that the government has declared membership in our club to be a crime.
A crime, it went on to say, punishable by twenty years in a federal penitentiary, and confiscation of all firearms, brewing apparatus and all club paraphernalia, including membership cards.
Well, it just isnât true. The legitimate looking e-mail was not from the government. It was a fake. A cruel hoax, couched in the adolescent spirit of an April Foolâs Day prank.
Several of our more wary members, apparently ready for just such a message, have already left the country and others have gone to more remote regions of the United States.
One of the clerks at club headquarters, in an effort to protect fellow memberâs identities, has burned all club records. We are currently with no names, addresses or phone numbers for our membership. Communications in the foreseeable future will have to be by word of mouth.
And speaking of word of mouth, be sure to spread the word that our club is as real and as strong as it ever was, and it looks like a meeting out at the club house and shooting ranges is going to be a reality also. Mid-May is still the projected date.
Look forward to the event with faith and confidence, and donât allow yourself to get paranoid about our government. After all, itâs the best government that money can buy, and deep down inside, we all know it.
Till next week
