Facebook disables Open Carry Texas group, member accounts
More than 46,000 member accounts from Open Carry Texas groups on Facebook — including Temple-based founder and president CJ Grisham — were disabled in the past several days, the gun rights organization said.
Open Carry Texas got a notice their groups would be disabled and had a chance to appeal, Grisham said. The appeal amounted to clicking on a button that said the groups wanted Facebook to take “a second look.”
“Facebook is engaged in a full scale war against conservative opinions, no matter what it is,” Grisham said. “All we were told was that ‘Open Carry Texas’ has been disabled because it has content that goes against (Facebook) community standards.”
No notice was received when the page was locked, Grisham said. Then the page was disabled after about 24 hours. The group was deleted from Facebook, which also removed links that included @opencarrytexas.org, Grisham said. The personal accounts of many members have been disabled — including Grisham’s main and backup accounts, he said.
