Crawford, Idaho - No Liberals Allowed

And, really - if they intend their primary export to be GUNS GUNS GUNS, shouldn't they have a weapons market in the public areas too?

No bullshit, you might want to tip off a favorite journalist.

Says you. Their faith is their shield.

Umm their FAQ:

It's basically a White People Reservation

You expect logic.

"We have to have guns to protect us from the government"

"To protect you from the government doing what?"

"Trying to take our guns."

I'm sure you can spot the flaw.

Their faith and their GUNSGUNSGUNSGUNSGUNS!

I like the tourism idea as well. That reflecting pond will bring in the masses.... Once they make it through the complex gates and walls.

Yeah, because a bunch of paranoid crackers glaring at me while they caress the grips of their gold-plated cowboy action shooters is exactly the kind of relaxing place I plan vacations to.

That is weaksauce compared to the last castle I built in a D&D game. It doesn't even have a wizard's tower, man.

I sorta assumed the gun museum and reflecting pool (!?!) fit that niche.

They'll have to compete for those tourist dollars with Glenn Beck's commune.

No, no, that replaces the temple where you stash your cleric follower to rez people between adventures. It's clearly a religious facility for these people.

Oh wow. The batshit Biodome. I hope he sinks every dime in; it'd be such an appropriate apotheosis for the Tea Party's deranged cult of self-flattery.

If only someone would come up with a device to launch heavy projectiles at high velocity at that wall. I bet it wouldn't hold up well.

Or perhaps some small device that launched projectiles at a high arc over the wall into the town.

Just think of the advertising possibilities!

"I'm Commander Shephard, and these are my favorite guns in the Citadel."

I just realized we already have gated communities like that around here except with golf instead of guns.

Hey, wait a minute.

Main Gate.



Neighborhood.



Farmer's Market:

I'm glad that I found their costs and what's included.

With this kind of design, also, how can anyone say no?



However, since the main requirement of living in The Citadel requires you to carry guns at ALL TIMES, I'm not really surprised they're giving the rifles away for free.

Who are these people who are going to move there that don't ALREADY have an AR-15 with 1,000 rounds?

This theme would make for an AWESOME city builder

My god, I can't believe I'm not the only one who thought of Terra Nova.

Actually, my first thought was Outcasts. Which, both shows being canceled, I can see how this will end.

Couldn't resist - had to put this on 8bitcartographer.tumblr.com!

I would play it!

I was thinking that one would have the whole city-builder production pipelines with GUNS and other goods (tracts, coins and stamps (Citadel plans to issue their own gold and silver currency)) as outputs along with inputs of food and good required through trading with non-city locals - All the citizens would be armed, resulting in accidents and occasional rages that might scare off visitors. Also, you'd have to somehow manage the panics and paranoias of the locals who would want to shoot at passing black helicopters and murder each other for a tree branch over a fence line.. that sort of stuff.

Are there any mention of children at all in this plan? I just like how they mention that there should be a year's supply of food for one or two adults but not any kids. Hrm.

Crawford.

Which is a Walking Dead (game) reference.

Where do you think they're getting the food?

The funny thing is, domain name privacy is like $12.95 when you register the domain.

Sounds legit. They are basically building glazedcoast!, except in the land of potatoes.

That would be segregating the guns. Everywhere is the weapons market.

Grazedcoast?

I'd like to think that you could have "natural disasters" happen like having someone in a hoodie show up. The end game would clearly be when the government came to take the guns and you got to give them your bullets instead.

No, endgame would be RaHoWa.

I was disappointed when I read through their site to not see any (overtly) racist/homophobic/bigoted restrictions on who could join. It seems that as long as you're a member of the Church of Guns, you're welcome, at least officially.

Someone from The Daily Kos headed out to Idaho to look the place over.

Can't get there from here.

Someone thought it through and figured they'd need at least one district with decent beer or good food.

Yes how dare they not meet your idea of all conservatives being racists and bigots. I mean its just obvious that its impossible for a conservative to not be those things.

You understand that the bunco artists pretending to build Castle Awesome Guns aren't conservatives, right Brett?

F you and your arms.
