Anti-2A Groups' Money Grubbing

Know the facts: Anti-gun activists utilize emotional grief to line their pockets
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/k...l-grief-to-line-their-pockets/article/2640904

...The anti-gun left uses national tragedies, like the Las Vegas massacre, to recruit new support and make money off of the darkest moments in our country. It’s sickening. It also shows how truly desperate these groups are for support.

As soon as a tragedy occurs, groups like Moms Demand Action ask grief-stricken citizens to text a number in order to donate to their anti-gun crusades, instead of rallying around the victims who need the support most.

They know it’s not the NRA's fault if a person decides to kill another person. It's the criminal’s finger pulling the trigger, not the NRA's (or any other pro-Second Amendment organization). However, because they know their messaging will resonate in the grieving hearts of Americans, they continue to deploy their sick tactics.

If we take a step back, this assault isn't solely against the NRA; it's an assault on our Second Amendment rights and the Constitution as a whole. Where does the madness stop?

If you look at the funding for groups that are anti second amendment, the vast majority of the funds comes from a handful of tp DNC funders, and then from law firms that are politically active in support of Democrats.

Really it is time to think of this another way. My guess is that vast majority are not "passionate" about gun control at all but simply have found a way to use 501c3 tax deductible charitable contributions, and less than transparent in FEC 501c4 filings, tax reduced for operations contributions in partisan poltical lobbying and electioneering. In short this serves as mechanism of 100% benefit to local, state, national Democrats which is has tax benefits and is more opaque to the public.

Keep in mind when you hear about the "evil" Citizens United ruling, that ruling has to do with people giving money that must be fully tracked; and fully reported to, and made public by, the Federal Election Commission. Funding allowed under Citizens united is totally transparent and proffers no tax advantage.

Money given to gun control groups is partially to almost completely hidden and has many tax advantages over direct campaign funding.

The irony is complete when you see the utter reversal of reality in the press and poltical discourse from the left: falsely portraying of NRA as an "industry" lobby and the gun control fronts falsely is portrayed as grass roots citizens "movement,": This is a total inversion of reality. NRA is in reality the largest grass roots, individual paid membership civil rights/liberties membership group in the US, eclipsing individual paid membership in any gun control group by multiple orders of magnitude. (NRA has over 5 million paid members, all gun control "groups" combined have less than 1,000 -- a 5,000:1 ratio.)


Bloomberg has outspent NRA in contributions 10:1 in many state races. Certainly in the last two Virginia cycles, at first coming up short and now winning. But that direct funding is nothing compared to the amount he has placed more opaquely, for example giving $300 million tax deductible to John Hopkins medical school and its "Center for Gun Policy and Research " which is obscenely partisan.

The fact is the Democrats have found an excellent Trojan Horse to march in hundreds of millions of dollars into support for Democrat candidacies.

Tyler Yzaguirre , he spoke in Annapolis. Surprised he's not a NRA member.

Somebody needs to clue him in. His objection/logic may be that his organization competes with the NRA; we needs to assure him that it COMPLEMENTS the NRA.

This. I think Bloomberg and his chronic shave helped stop gun laws as much as the NRA. People see right through his crap. Outside of liberal states, gun control has failed miserably access the country in general.

At least he showed up and spoke, anyone think that we would have had the same result if we extended the same invitation to our local NRA rep?

I met Tyler , he is on our side and a blessing for the gun community . He also was assaulted by a crazed liberal snowflake , so he has some skin in the game . Also for a young man he has his head screwed on right and loves his freedoms like we all do here at MDS .
