Consumer Federation of America(CFA) is another “nanny” organization attempting
to protect us from ourselves. They are virulently anti-gun. They are
exceptionally dangerous to our RKBA because:
- CFA has gained a remarkable reputation by finding dangerous consumer
products and bringing about changes which reduce dangers and/or improve
safety for consumers. Therefore they have achieved credibility with citizens
and lawmakers alike.
- CFA does not sound “radical”. By advocating “safeguards” similar to those
that have worked with other products, they do not address the concept of
“liberty’s teeth”! By relegating firearms to the status of a consumer product,
they have found an approach that sounds rational and reasonable. Therefore,
CFA is a great threat to our Liberty.
- CFA believes they are doing the right thing. Therefore they can turn ANY
subject into a “crusade”.
Let’s take a lesson from Sun Tzu (... know your enemy...) and use CFA as a
resource to determine what our opposition is doing to negate our RKBA. If
we find they are increasing pressure for gun control upon specific legislators,
there is where we must provide our opposing view.
Go to the following thread, slide down the list to “Guns”.
