"Million Mom" Goes Undercover
(Well, sort of...)
There was something about the ad that appeared on Gloria Culver's
website, CSP Gun Talk (http://www.jouster.com),
that just didn't seem quite right.

My husband has passed away and following Assult weapons and accessories
are for sale. I have been advised these are fair market values for
pre-ban weapons and just wish to see them in the hand of his fellow
enthusiasts:

3. Colt AR-15 with 16" barrel and collapsing stock, $ 900.00
4.Polytech M14 1itg 4 Magazines, $800.00

Please call 805-(phone # redacted) as I do not have much
access to e-mail,
Thank you,
Linda
CSP Gun Talk regulars weren't fooled.
"Linda" was quickly outed as Linda S. Vaughn, the Southeast Region's
Senior Associate Director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
United with the Million Mom March. The fact that the phone number she
listed was her Brady/MMM office number didn't leave much doubt as to her
identity.
Gloria Culver said, "It didn't take much to figure what this was, it was
nothing but bait to get some guy to fall for 'maybe' an illegal weapons
transfer. She underestimated experienced gun owners! BIG TIME!" Ms.
Culver also made it a point to call Ms. Vaughn herself, and told her
that she would be reporting her to the BATFE for posting a misleading
ad. (As of this writing, no charges have been filed.)
This probably won't be the last time this year that anti-rights
advocates try to play detective. Long on arrogance and short on
knowledge, these crusaders will be plowing ahead with plans designed to
prove to the "unsuspecting" populace that 2nd Amendment supporters are
vile heathens whose blind love of firearms is responsible for all the
world's ills.
Incidents like this, though, only serve to prove that sometimes it
pays to look beyond the end of one's nose.
