It's
the time for giving and once again gun owners across the state
are receiving requests for cash from an organization that claims
to support gun rights, while working overtime for gun control.
Oregonians who have concealed handgun licenses are getting this
letter from "Oregon Gun Owners Political Action Committee"
In 1999 "Oregon Gun Owners" worked with former legislator,
and perennial candidate, Kevin Mannix, to forge legislation
that would outlaw private transfers of firearms at gun shows.
They failed. They then attempted a ballot measure to do the
same thing. They failed again. (Their sister-in-arms, Ginny
Burdick, armed with millions in out-of-state money succeeded.)
Now "Oregon Gun Owners" is asking real Oregon gun
owners to send them cash. What do they do with it? Well in 2010
alone the sent over $8000.00 to anti-gun politicians in Salem.
They endorsed Floyd Prozanski and Peter Courtney, two of the
most anti-gun politicians in the state, and they sent their
lobbyist, Paul Phillips to testify in FAVOR of more gun control
in the February "special" session.
Their letter says that the cost of printing their fundraising
letter was paid for "by another gun rights organization."
Oddly they don't say who that was. We think it's most
likely that the other "gun rights" organization was...
Oregon Gun Owners.
At this special time of year, when money is tight and scams
are uptrending, we at OFF think it's important to know who you
are giving to.
Have a merry and scam-free Christmas. |
