Gun Rights Astrotufers - Beware - "Minnesota Gun Rights"

Postby DeanC on Thu Nov 07, 2013 11:45 am

I know I don't post much anymore, but you can see how much clout I have here by my mega-awesome post count. :D

This is pretty serious and needs some attention. These guys are kind of a sham and my pal Mitch Berg is on to them. Read more about it here:

The Minnesota Constitution Party's Tammy Houle is involved with them too.

I was there at the Capitol and I've never seen them nor have I even heard of them. GOCRA are the group that get things done.

They were also grabbing stories from the Pioneer Press (and photos from the Star Tribune) and republishing them without any attribution under their "Minnesota State Legislation" section. Apparently they were trying to make it look like they were somehow involved. The problem with that is that the story was from May, MGR didn't exist until July, and they didn't even bother publishing it until October.

That content was removed from their site just this afternoon.

FYI............due to the rash of sock puppet accts and spammers recently I set the requirement that board admin has to approve new members to activate their account.

This group has applied 4 times for membership approval but have not been approved because the IP's being used are from Hamburg Germany or "tor" anonymous IP's. They not stand a chance of "slim to None" for approval.

Well I looked at their website http://minnesotagunrights.org/index.php ... Itemid=435

Their home page says

"Has no content to show!"

The state and federal legislation is also blank. Note that donations and newsletter subscription sections are active

Ok, I know the website is under construction, but based on the above postings, this appears to be an accurate description of their efforts to date.
