On a par with "Gun Guys", "American Rifle Association", etc.
Yep. In case anyone's late to the party, these false-flag operations are nothing new. They've been going on since the 1990's.

At one point, we had Hunters for Gun Control. The idea was that nobody needed "assault weapons" to hunt deer, and that "normal" gun owners wanted a ban.

Hunters for Gun Control was folded into the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), which is staffed and run by Joyce foundation plants. In fact, they share a building with the Democrat Leadership Council and a PR firm known as DCS. DCS was originally run by John Rosenthal, founder of Stop Handgun Violence. Founder Ray Schoenke employs lawyers from the Brady Campaign. They're still hobbling along on a shoestring budget.

Somewhat recently, there was a group called the Independent Firearms Owners Association, which is run by Richard Feldman, a former NRA staffer who wrote a supposed "insider tell-all" book called Ricochet.

I've gotten pretty good at spotting them by the timing and rhetoric, and with the resources available online now, it's somewhat difficult for them to hide their sources of income.
