When a blog is not a blog...

We've encountered some unexpected confusion over what the Gun Control Canada.org site is. Some have assumed we are simply a blog. GCC is far from that. We chose to front end the archives with the blogger format as it gave us an already constructed interactive user interface for users of the site to interact with one another over the content contained within these pages. This reduces our bandwidth and overhead.

The heart of the Gun Control Canada.org site lies in the Resource Library. Topical reference material is being added to these pages on a nearly daily basis as the site grows and as we have time to source it out. The "blog" front end allows us to post "current events" of importance to Canadian firearms owners as it is happening, and of course, the blogger format allows readers to express (respectfully, please) their opinion or viewpoint. Occasionally we will make announcements here as well, and, if there is a particular reference in the Library that readers wish to discuss, contact us, and we will bring the topic into the blog, or open up a post for their topic.
