American Rifle + Pistol Association — A False Flag Operation?
by Dave Dolbee
The American Rifle + Pistol Association (R+P)—launched July 2, 2013—has billed itself as a “responsible” pro gun organization and wants to open the debate about all things firearms—“A deliberative member forum, which will allow gun owners of all perspectives to openly and candidly share their views.”
Derived from a military concept, the term false flag means to fly false colors; to provide a false cover while carrying out covert operations and deceiving the enemy or public as to its true agenda.
It does not sound so bad when put that way, but buried a little deeper the R+P goes on to say that it is also available to non-gun owners and media in a “safe harbor” atmosphere of civility and decorum… and claims no political agenda. Is anyone else starting to smell something emanating from the south end of a northbound bull?
Do we really need a moderator and safe harbor to deal with the wisdom and expediency of firearm issues? Worse yet, do we need a third party to moderate, analyze and then hand over the results to the media as a measure of our voice? Much of which is going to be judged electronically. I keep having flashbacks to how search results change every time Google changes it algorithm. Does anyone reading this actually believe that is going to demonstrate our true message and that the mainstream media is going to report the results honestly? Even if R+P reports an accurate view of our message in the first place?
R+P may be nothing more than a false flag operation and an assault on our First and Second Amendment freedoms—regardless of any claimed intent or non-intent. All forums need moderation for certain hate speech and expletives, language that is not appropriate for all readers or is outside the topic of the thread. However, I am concerned about a firearm forum that could be moderated in such a way that it discourages the open and honest passion of gun owners and then sold to the media as our voice.
There are way too many of these "pro gun" groups that are just looking for the donations, we sure don't need any of them to "interface" with the media for us. It only takes a few minutes to pen a letter to the editor!
