Another false flag gun ‘rights’ organization ARPA…

From Buckeye Firearms News-

Do you remember the phoney “American Hunters and Shooters Association” that pretended to support gun rights … but actually advocated more gun control and endorsed (surprise, surprise) Barack Obama?

Well, now with the 2014 elections gearing up, another fake gun group has popped up claiming to support “sane” gun ownership.

They’re called the American Rifle and Pistol Association and they’re officially launching today, July 4. But don’t be fooled by all the firearm photos on their Facebook page or all the Second Amendment talk on their colorful website.

Here are direct quotes from their statement of principles:

R+P exists to promote SANE gun ownership and SANE firearms management. SANE stands for: Safety, Advocacy, Networking, and Education.

R+P believes that it is each state’s right to determine for benefit of its citizens any prerequisites, qualifications, documentation, training, and levels of demonstrated proficiency, if any, deemed necessary for lawful use of differing types of weapon systems. The establishment of any such requirements are not the prerogative of the federal government.

R+P seeks to work with state and local governments to help establish effective training and licensing programs designed to increase public safety while protecting eligible citizens’ rights to keep and bear arms.

Got that? “Sane” gun ownership. Demonstrated proficiency. Licensing programs. Protecting “eligible” citizens’ rights.

Exactly where in the Second Amendment does it say any of this? Who determines what is or is not sane? Since when do we need to demonstrate anything to exercise a right? Why do we need more licensing? And who exactly are the oh-so-lucky “eligible” citizens among us who will be granted protection from this bogus group of sham artists?

No, we don’t want “insane” people to have guns. And yes, we think training is great. But we don’t need more restrictions. We’ve been fighting for years to remove restrictions that do nothing to improve public safety and are designed merely to infringe on our rights as American citizens.

Go look at their statement of principals on the web page… Link HERE.

And TTAG even gets it right (but I’ll be damned if I’ll link to it), and if you go look at their facebook page, for an organization that supposedly went ‘public’ today, they already have over 11000 likes???

Um… I don’t think so.

False Flag? Most probably… Get the word out, and be aware…

And it IS kinda funny that they’d pop up today of all days; but then again I AM a cynical old bastard…

  1. This couldn’t be yet another fake organization set up by the Obama people could it? Nah, no way, they would never do that.

    The most insulting part is that they think we’ll fall for it. Or maybe it’s not us that they’re trying to fool.

  2. Every once in a while something like this pops up and they usually suck a few people in. Thanks for the heads up.

  3. TOTW – the mere fact that ‘groups’ like this still pop up is just proof that the hoplophobes and/or the libs still realize that there are indeed folks out there that they need to fool. They know they can’t fool all of us all the time so they concentrate on just enough (along with the loyal obamabots) to get their way.

  4. WSF- Of course they will!

    TOTW- Good question!

    Duke- You’re welcome.

    Gomez- Excellent point!

  5. I live in a state that has a “safe and sane” fireworks law. You know what that means in plain English? No fountains, nothing that shoots sparks, nothing that leaves the ground.

    It’s not even worth buying the legal fireworks to set off with the neighborhood kids. Better to take them to the park and watch the city show. And even that sucked this year, maybe 15 minutes of show!

    Woulda had a better ‘fireworks’ show by finding a couple boxes of tracer ammo!

  6. LL- LOL, yep!!!

    Ed- Never, and probably within a week!

    Mark- Yep, disinformation… again…

    Scott- True!
