Default Interesting news

I just recived a message from a friend of mine in the NFA community.

Quote:
Hey, "Rockwolf66". As I think you know, I'm a member of a private NFA owner/dealer e-mail list that's been around since it started as a USEnet group way back in the 80s. Anyhow, one of the Class-7 SOTs in the group just discovered imfdb.org and he can't stop raving about it. (FYI, this is Mark Serbu, owner/operator of Serbu Firearms in Tampa, FL and inventor of the "Serbu Super-Shorty"™.) He's kind of an egotistic asshole, but he produces pretty decent firearms. He was just tickled pink to find 15 separate movie references to his Super-Shorty 12 ga.

I just thought you'd like to know what kind of press you're getting!
Now this is interesting as I wasn't sure how the rest of the Firearms world views us. It would be nice to have a word with Mr. Serbu about what he feels about his firearms and their use in films. I could ask my friend to pass along a few questions if you would all like.

If he loves the site so much you probably shouldn't post about him being an asshole in the forum.

If only we could get some of those guys at H und K to read our site and realize that we don't suck and they shouldn't hate us

Not my words but unfortunatly Mr. Serbu does have a reputation as being such a person. Still it would be interesting to at least get our collective foot in the door. As I said it's just a thought. I know that Bunni is looking about doing reviews of film. Maybe we should add online interviews to the list of things we offer.


In addition to firearms, we as a site do deal in intelectual property rights and the politics that effect them. I know of someone who does deal in such things. I could ask her for an interview.

Interviewing with firearms manufacturers does sound interesting.

That's one reason I have been trying to gather support for an Official IMFDB youtube page. So we can do things like traditional film reviews, interviews and educational clips.

Right now I don't have the permission from Bunni, The technical knowledge, or that many contacts among the NFA community or International level Politicians.

I could totally do that, but then I'd have to reveal my identity

Stephen King doesn't need to be accurate because he's Stephen King.
