Beware of “False Flags”

From US Concealed Carry.com (Nov. 6):

Anti-gun zealots have recently been creating more and more fake “gun rights” groups, often duping unsuspecting gun owners into contributing to them. What’s most diabolical is that the money collected is then used to attack gun owner’s rights, not protect them.

Probably the best example of a “False Flag” gun rights group is the infamous “Americans for Gun Safety,” started in 2001 and bankrolled by Monster.com mogul Andrew McKelvey. After digging into the group’s origins and supporters, writer James L. Pate noted:

“With an initial start-up budget of more than $12 million of his own fortune, McKelvey created AGS as a new national coalition of local and state anti-gun groups. AGS was designed to move debate from Capitol Hill into state legislatures and to bring various state anti-gun activists under one umbrella.” [Emphasis ours.]

Other states have similar stories. “Iowa Gun Owners” is a recent example of a previously unknown group appearing out of nowhere, run by folks with suspiciously anti-gun backgrounds. So stay alert. These “Trojan Horse” outfits sound pro-gun, but often betray their agenda with phrases like “common sense” gun laws, “sensible” restrictions, or “closing loopholes.” [read more]

This is SOP for the Left. Especially the far left. Like for instance, in the Virginia governor race the libertarian candidate wasn’t really a libertarian at all. Even Ron Paul didn’t support him. He was a false flag candidate funded by the Left. That’s why a voter should never vote on just the party itself. Look deeper.

It won’t surprise me if the Left does other false flag activities like for instance saying they are pro-life or pro-school choice when they are not. Just be cautious.
