[QUOTE="agb104983, post: 4159251, member: 3562"] Heads up: Liberal front group pretending to be a new gun rights org at Wanenmachers show. Cliffnotes: It appears a Venture capital guy and media guy, both a history of supporting/donating to only liberals, have started a “gun rights” org based in Los Angeles with either their own money or dark money donors and using it to get people to sign up for free memberships to give themselves legitimacy and to harvest names of gun rights supporters. They appear to be targeting gun shows and social media. ARGO, Alliance for Responsible Gun Ownership, has a booth set up at the big Wanenmachers Tulsa gun show this weekend. They also left their flyers and posters all around the concessions areas. At the booth they are talking about how they are a gun rights group looking to protect the right to own guns, increase gun education for kids, etc. They were signing people up with that pitch and membership is free. They had tons of free shirts, hats, and other swag. Most people just took them at their word that they are pro gun and were signing up and However, if you look at their website they talk bout being a new “moderate” gun group and if you read between the lines, they are not really pro gun. It looks like they are trying to position themselves so that when proposed laws come up, they can go in front of committees and the media and pretend to represent that gun owners actually want these restrictive gun laws to pass. The CEO(and I think founder) is Michael Pierce, a California venture capital guy that has a history of donating to Obama and other democrats.
