Fake "pro gun" groups still around

[GunLawyer001]

Got another "Pennsylvania Firearms Association" link on my Facebook feed. Not PAFOA, but "PFA". The Dorr brothers, one of their multiple "charities" in many states, which appear to siphon off pro-gun and pro-life money, according to multiple media sources. They find hot-button issues and then insert themselves as players, seeking money and publicity.

They've found an audience eager to hear attacks on RINO Republicans and the NRA, and they've monetized that anger.

I imagine that many people are confused about PFA vs PAFOA, giving the Dorr brothers street cred for what PAFOA is. In fact, my Google search for "Pennsylvania Firearms Association" resulted in multiple PAFOA hits, as well as some self-promotion by PFA and some exposes of the Dorr brothers.

I can't find evidence of anything that "PFA" has done to promote gun rights.

I found this:
"PENNSYLVANIA FIREARMS ASSOCIATION is a 501(c)(4) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 2018, and donations may or may not be tax-deductible."

I have not seen a breakdown of their donations and expenses.

"The Trace" (an anti-gun "news" outlet funded by Bloomberg, basically propaganda, they tried to scam us here at PAFOA before) claims that:

"At the center of the Dorrs* efforts is the brothers* own for-profit consulting firm, which has received huge sums of money from their tax-exempt organizations, fueling allegations that the brothers are deceiving their supporters."

"Tax returns for the Dorrs* gun rights groups show they have seldom received compensation despite reporting that they worked as many as 70 hours per week. One of the few exceptions was in 2018, when Chris Dorr reported earning $30,000 from Ohio Gun Owners. Aaron Dorr has disclosed a total of less than $10,000 in pay since Iowa Gun Owners formed more than a decade ago.

But a closer look through the Dorrs* statements and public records shows donations are steered to the brothers in multiple ways. One of the primary channels involves a for-profit consulting and direct mail business, Midwest Freedom Enterprises L.L.C. The brothers recently cut an hour-long video in which they took viewers on a tour of the warehouse where Midwest Freedom Enterprises is ostensibly headquartered, showing off some of the gadgetry they use to print, fold, and stuff mailers into envelopes. "


I can't evaluate that claim. But I'm not seeing any progress in the pro gun fight attributable to any efforts by the Dorr brothers. "The Trace" isn't attacking the Dorrs because the Dorrs are effective at sabotaging gun control schemes, "The Trace" just likes to attack all nominally pro-gun groups. But "The Trace" makes specific allegations which should be verifiable.
