Because I own the domain GunRightsInTexas.com which is for a podcast I host, but haven't had time to work on for a while due to a number of factors such as dealing with TxGR's fallout.
I have had similar issues in the past, not necessarily politically related, of people spoofing my business domain name to send mass emails, and then I get the irritated messages and phone calls from people demanding that I take them off of my (non existent) email lists. Worse yet is having to deal with the consequences of having your domain flagged as a spam source by email servers. Personally, I think that spammers are in the same class of degenerate as [most] hackers, and I would like nothing better than a law making it permissible for spam/hacking victims to track down the spammers/hackers and administer justice with a baseball bat. Enough people get the crap beat out of them, and suddenly it becomes unprofitable to stay in that business. Since the boys of NAGR are already identified, it should be easy to find them.

I hear that, my problem isn't spoofing but the similar name they use. Between that, the do not reply to this email because it will not be read, and people googling for specific keywords I got confused with them when people went looking for an email address to reply to. My email address was even reported on another gun forum as a contact for them until I explained the difference between txgunrights and gunrightsintexas. I did eventually convince the topic author and the mods on that forum to edit the post and quoted posts to reflect the NAGR fund raising arm's actual contact form link (If it works for anything beyond harvesting email addresses I do not know).

Texas Gun Rights is NAGR's supposed 'Texas affiliate', in reality it's more like it's their Texas Fundraising arm. I deal with no less than three emails, up to ten emails a day from people wanting me to quit calling/emailing them. Why do you ask?
