The American Rifle Association is a false-flag phony "gun owner" front group created by Democratic activists to give legitimacy to Democrat attempts to push gun control legislation.
Their dishonesty can be seen in their silent transformation from the "American Hunting and Shooting Association" --- the front used in the 2008 election --- to the "American Rifle Association" today, since American gun owners had overwhelmingly rejected the AHSA's pro-gun control activities and partisan support of (exclusively) Democratic candidates.
But the incompetent liars forgot to change the EIN. 34-2000826 was the AHSA on 2011 tax paperwork. Today that same EIN leads one here to the ARA.
