A call for action

I have continued to think about the future of Black Lotus, our position in the community, and the future of GunCAD as a whole. The future of this community depends on what we do now. As testers, developers, editors, and all support roles dedicated to the community, we have a responsibility to keep up the fight against gun control. The community needs someone to look to, and that has to be us. I started Black Lotus to unite the GunCAD movement, to remove bad actors that hurt our image, and to make gun control impossible.

It is time to try something new. We have launched the GunCAD reference model library, released projects that benefit this community, and continue the fight alongside you. We need to start making moves to position ourselves for the moment ahead. Launching the website is one of many steps we are taking. We are also updating old build guides and projects with modern information and easier-to-follow instructions. In addition, we are reaching out to podcasts, news outlets, firearm magazines, and blogs in an effort to make our voices heard. If you want to contribute, come and use your skills with us.

We are going to be smart about how we approach this. I believe we have a fundamentally different model and culture from other GunCAD teams. I want to thank you all for the advice the community has given me and for helping me build Black Lotus into what it is today. Come and help us keep up the fight.
