Yes, that title doesn’t make much sense, but neither does a group that promotes banning firearms starting a national organization called Gun Owners for Safety. Nonetheless, The Hill recently reported that the anti-gun group Giffords is doing just that. This effort is being sold as an expansion of the group’s campaign to fool gun owners at the state level into supporting an agenda that is clearly against their own interests.
Giffords has been working on establishing what it calls Gun Owners for Safety State Chapters since at least January 2019, and claims to have three under its wing. The states it mentions, Colorado, Minnesota, and Texas, all have groups

They are really concerned that their totalitarian plans won't be safe if we are armed. They really must have us unarmed so that their antifa/BLM communist thugs can intimidate us into following their orders.

The National Rifle Association of America has been a reliable defender of the second amendment and advocate for firearm safety for 150 years. If you own a firearm, you should join FunOne and the other 5.5 million gun owners as a member. There are other valid pro firearm groups, but NRA has the most political clout.

Classic Democrat groups:
Gun Owners Agains Guns
Fascists Against Fascism
Educators Against Education
I believe I detect a pattern...

When Wayne is gone I will consider the NRA. He has plenty of money and doesn't seem to actually DO anything with it. Gun Owners of America at least initiate a lawsuit once in a while.

The NRA ran an extensive 2nd Amendment ad campaign in run-up to 2016 election. The ads were outstanding. With election day in 14 days, where are the 2020 NRA ads?

The left always names their groups the opposite to their goals.

Looks suspiciously like a group of libs went out and bought a few guns just so they could film an anti-gun ad. Liberals are sneaky that way.

They are running one of them in my district and her pollsters contacted me. Didn't go well for them.

In the 90's the communists started a fake hunting advocacy group that pretended to protect hunters rights but secretly tried to undermine them. If I remember right it backfired on them big time. With luck this will too.

#4, I can tell you first hand that when we were working diligently to get our concealed carry law passed in Kansas, when the time was ripe, the NRA sent us a full time, paid, experienced and skillful lobbyist. I was doing a statewide newsletter at the time as part of a gun rights group that I helped to found. We were doing "OK", but having an expert talking to lawmakers every day when us poor working folks could only take off occasionally on vacation to testify and work with lawmakers, was a HUGE help.
The NRA rep was there for months working HARD and smart to help us get the CCW bill over the line.
I am not a fan of LaPierre, have known from insiders that he wasn't somebody I trusted for at least 20 years. But the NRA-ILA has been in past years a really important source of protection for our 2nd Amendment rights. And, I got my postcard a week and a half ago, telling me that our Republican House candidate was a good person for gun rights, and that the Dem incumbent was rated an "F".
All this add up to the NRA being damned important...even with LaPierre messing things up a bit.

If you're a democrap and don't like guns you think no one should be allowed to own one...if you're a conservative, you just think people that don't like guns just shouldn't buy one...simple...

The only thing dumber than gun owners against guns, are the woke whites protesting whites for their white privilege!

The whole notion of anti gun nuts starting a Guns owners for Safety organization is laughable. The whole organization's platform is based on the idea that gun owners aren't using their guns safely or even want to. Nothing could be further from the truth which is typical liberal thinking. I live in Maryland. Maryland has some of the toughest gun control laws in the country. One can't buy a gun until one gets a HQL. A handgun qualification license. In order to get a HQL, one has to take a four hour course which includes firing a weapon correctly. Then one has to get one's finger prints taken and given to the Maryland State Police so they can do a background check. Then one waits about a month to receive a letter from the MSP stating that your eligible to buy a gun. The cost for the process is about 230 dollars. Then you can go to the gun shop, buy a gun, fill out more paperwork which again goes to the MSP, and wait seven days until you can pick up the gun you purchased a week before. The whole process is based on safety, and the correct way to own a gun. Not to mention fatten the state coffers.

The 'name' of this so-called organization will keep all of us stupid, knuckle dragging, toothless Neanderthals sending them money every month forever !!! We'll NEVER be able to see through this deception !!! /sarcoff
These people cannot possibly believe that large numbers of gun owners are going to not only fall for this charade, but CONTINUE to fall for it over and over ???
They're insane. Giffords and the Lex Luthor stand-in are both INSANE !
