The Gun Wire will reportedly begin publishing again Monday morning, Nov. 10.
Monday morning, Nov. 10 at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the popular “Gun Wire” — a firearms news page that is the equivalent of the Drudge Report for gun-related stories — will re-launch after a six-week hiatus, TGM has learned.
It comes as good news to gunfights activists across the country who have been worried they lost the valuable website that tracks firearms-related news, from politics to field tests. The return of The Gun Wire coincides with Washington State’s effort by gun rights activists to prepare their next move after passage of Initiative 594, the onerous 18-page gun control measure financed by billionaire elitists including Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates.
The Gun Wire originally went on line on Aug. 21, 2011. Over the course of more than three years, over 150,000 gun-related news stories were posted on the site, which saw somewhere in the neighborhood of two million page views a month, according to founder Todd Bergin.
“The time I took off allowed me to determine my direction in life, both with The Gun Wire, and without The Gun Wire – whether I was going to continue to run it or not – as it takes 70 to 90 hours per week to run it effectively,” he told TGM via e-mail. “That demand on my time and on my life is very taxing, and exhausting. The time I took off allowed me to travel and visit with family who I’ve not spent much time with over the last few years.”
The Gun Wire has also posted some 17,000 gun-related videos ranging from the disturbing to the hilarious. The site averages between 90 and 160 stories a day with updates as they happen, along with up to 50 different videos.
“The time I took off,” Todd noted, “allowed me to reflect on how to take The Gun Wire into the future with changes to increase interest, readership, and loyalty, as well as interest from potential advertisers.”
The Gun Wire springs back to life with a story of national importance to track: The impact of anti-gun billionaire influence on the political landscape. What happened last week in the Evergreen State is being considered a warning sign to Second Amendment advocates across the country, as the gun prohibition lobby used what they learned from the Washington State campaign as a strategy guide for similar efforts in other states, including Nevada, Oregon and Arizona, sources suggest.
