"American Rifle and Pistol Association" -- the new name for Handgun Control, Inc.

Now comes the latest gun-grabbing set of liars. Check-out their ridiculous website, which claims that ARPA is a "common sense set of hunters and target-shooters" who want to be "a third voice" in the gun debate. The web page asks you to sign-up. There is no article or link that actually tells you who they are or why they want your name and email. The site offers absolutely nothing. Noted in this month's "First Freedom."

They were outed months ago and I know it was talked about. I remember on their FB page that it was odd that a bunch of Texas business guys would like the NYPD. They won't release any of their financials and it's a pretty good guesstimate that Bloomturd is behind this.

Their website says all the "right" things in order to lure members. Heck, even the picture of the AR-15 says "We are your friends"....

But the July 2013 press release reveals some yellow flags:

1. Unnecessary bashing of "The gun industry"
2. Claims that NRA members voices are not being heard.(code for "they want more gun control but the evil NRA is not listening)
3. Claim that "90 percent of responsible gun owners' voices are not heard"
4. Founders are from Austin TX, a hotbed of left-wing political ideology.
5. Founders cite the Newtown Ct massacre as a catalyst for starting their organization
6. Overuse and copyright of the acronym "SANE", using terms that are proven gun control terms of the left. ie "Safe"(Gun safety replacing Gun Control), "Advocacy"(community organizing to destroy the NRA and it's political power) "Networking"(Using our friends in Law, Academia, Government and The Media to help advance our cause) "Education"(Liberal Elitist and media propaganda)

I suspect many people will view and read the website and be fooled into joining or providing email address. That is probably the intent.

What a waste of bandwidth these guys are.

I suppose it becomes fraud (thus a prosecutable crime) once money changes hands.

Curious their Facebook postings have few, if any, comments............
