Real or astroturf?

Another supposed alternative to NRA:

There seems to be no end to the groups that take potshots at the National Rifle Association. It goes with the territory, I guess, when an organization is as successful, determined, and as radical in its stance as the NRA. Every once in a while, the shots aren`t fired by anti-gun folks, but rather by a fledgling rival of the NRA — a group looking to grab some the massive political turf the NRA has cultivated over its 125-plus years of protecting the sanctity of the Second Amendment.

Well, some of these groups have been fronts for anti-gun groups. Tread lightly.

    I’m sure once it’s looked into a bit, it will be discovered that the majority of the leadership are more anti’s as well. It’s so cute they have to give themselves a name to create a USA acronym.

    Actually, looking at who’s involved with this, at first glance, I don’t think it’s a false flag operation.

    From the article: “I’m sure that a considerable percentage of the NRA’s 4 million members are also members of labor unions. Gun owners, per sé, have nothing against labor unions. In fact, I’m told that about a quarter of all union members today also belong to the NRA.”

    Total union membership in the u.S. 15,472,000.

    The NRA claim 4.3 million members.

    I doubt that 90% of them are union members. Me thinks someone is attempting to exaggerate the influence this “USA” group might have on the NRA.
    [(.25 x 15.472)/4.3 * 100 = 90%]

    Would you like to elaborate, thirdpower? Where is your evidence that TRCP wants to ban guns? Really, I’d love to know.

    Just because a group has traditionally worked for hunters doesn’t make them anti-gun. Just because you personally have not heard of them or made an effort to learn about other allied groups on the issues doesn’t mean they are anti-gun.

    […] I see Sebastian and Uncle jumping on this whole TRCP-labor union partnership to promote gun rights among candidates favorable […]

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
