Don't Let Anti-Gun Groups Fool YOu

 

With the 2008 presidential election looming larger on the horizon, it is

important for those who believe in the constitutional right to bear arms to

keep close watch on groups who profess to support your Second Amendment

rights, and those who are front groups for destroying those rights one step

at a time.

 

It has been a trend in the last few years for anti-gun organizations to

change their names so as to seem less threatening to firearms rights.

 

One such example is Sarah Brady's Handgun Control to the present Brady

Campaign. Another is the Coalition To Stop Gun Violence, run by long-time

anti-gunner Josh Horwitz. The signature logo of CSGV is a handgun with a red

slash across it (http://www.csgv.org).

 

Now, on the scene is the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA),

and its executive director Bob Ricker. The board of directors of this group

is staffed with dedicated Second Amendment haters such as John Rosenthal

from Massachusetts, who chairs an anti-gun group called Stop Handgun

Violence.

 

Ricker's other client is the Virginia anti-gun state group, Virginians for

Public Safety. It formerly called itself Virginians Against Handgun

Violence. Different name, same goal - the destruction of our Second

Amendment freedoms.

 

These groups are well funded by such people as billionaire leftists George

Soros and Andrew McKelvey, and backed in Congress by the usual gun haters.

The closer to the election we get, the more we will hear about "speaking for

your gun owning rights." Just remember, same message, different name.
