Why was a group such as the Bull Moose Sportsman&#8217;s Alliance Action Fund invited and not a group like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation or the National Wild Turkey Federation? While the latter two groups are nationally known, I&#8217;d wager most have never even heard of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bullmoosesportsmen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bull Moose Sportsman&#8217;s Alliance Action Fund.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I wonder if their invitation had anything to do with their co-founder and co-director <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.denverpost.com\/opinion\/2012\/12\/31\/colorado-sportsmen-weigh-gun-violence\/31695\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gaspar Perricone penning an op-ed that supported universal background checks, magazine restrictions, and an enhanced national database of the mentally ill<\/a>. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals has always<br \/>\nbeen the law.  Enforcing that law more effectively must become our<br \/>\npriority. <b>We should start by making sure that all records of dangerous<br \/>\nindividuals are entered into a national database, and we should<br \/>\nimmediately end the background check loophole. <\/b><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perricone says that he opposes a reinstatement of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban &#8220;as written&#8221;. However,&nbsp; he goes on to say this.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i><b>But that does not mean we\u2019re opposed to keeping dangerous weapons and<br \/>\nhigh capacity magazines out of dangerous hands.<\/b> We will defend the<br \/>\nrights of sportsmen to own firearms for hunting, as well as our ability<br \/>\nto protect our families in our homes. But we believe that we can protect<br \/>\n our outdoor heritage and ensure our citizens\u2019 safety at the same time.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Divide and conquer is at the key of Chicago-style politics and so it is with the assault on the Second Amendment. The Obama Administration obviously believes it can turn enough hunters against pro-rights groups by promising to leave their sporting guns alone. That is why a group you&#8217;ve never heard of gets invited to the White House to meet with Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you look over the list of hunting and outdoor groups that met with Vice-President Joe Biden last week,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3400,3401,45,3014,3402],"class_list":["post-2667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bull-moose-sportsmans-alliance-action-fund","tag-gaspar-perricone","tag-gun-control","tag-joe-biden","tag-quislings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2667"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8727,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2667\/revisions\/8727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
