New Jersey Mayors Want the Power To Sue You For Asking Too Many Questions – A bill backed by the Conference of Mayors would let courts issue restraining orders when people “harass” officials with information requests. [More]
And just look at that list of New Jersey mayors…
They’re not the only ones complaining:
“In short, there is a tangled web of connections between a small cadre of firearms activists and their efforts to recover fees through largely unsuccessful FOIA litigation.”
After all, who works for whom…?

Oregon’s Astroturf Gun Group
While it’s interesting that candidates who never lifted a finger to protect gun rights are desperate to appear to have the support of gun rights organizations, voters deserve to know what’s really happening in our elections. And it’s not pretty. Do nothing organizations have long sought to cash in on the generosity and commitment of gun owners. And often they are quite successful. [More]
There’s clearly moneyed interests behind their site.
But they don’t want to tell you whose.
And I see no “social media” icons– I guess they don’t want to be called out in publicly viewable comments.

Barr for NRA President Would Prove Association Has Learned Nothing
Telling the audience how he improved a bad bill hardly addressed his assertion that Lautenberg “is strong protection for women and children,” or his claim that his amending language kept it from being “declared unconstitutional.” He then goes on to support the concept of “prohibited persons.” So, the answer is, no, he wouldn’t repudiate his past support and spearhead the effort to repeal it. Instead, he preferred you to be caught in the trap and then go through a Catch-22 appeals process. [More]
More to the point: What’s a gun-grab proponent even doing on the NRA board in the first place?
