Mailchimp Boots Gun-Rights Group

Mailchimp blocked Virginia's top gun-rights group from sending newsletters through its service for unspecified reasons.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) announced Wednesday night that its account with the leading mass-distribution service had been suspended. The tech giant failed to provide any reason for the decision. The blackout has left the group scrambling to find an alternative.

"There was no justification," Philip Van Cleave, the president of the VCDL, told the Washington Free Beacon. "They provided nothing. Basically, they just said we need to get our stuff and be prepared to move on."
