    Older thread, I know ...

    For some reason, I keep getting pleas for donations from this group via e-mail.
    They are artful in their use of scare tactics.

    The latest is (I paraphrase) war will be declared tomorrow (inauguration day) and that they hope it will be peaceful. But be prepared for bloodshed. Please donate for your protection.

    Wow. Do you mind sharing the email address of the sender and copy/paste the text of email?

    I unsubscribed and trashed the emails.

    I then saw this thread in the list and came to see if they were legit or my suspicions were correct.
    I did go to their website and see that they appear to be a PAC of some sort. I despise PACs and don't knuckle under to their tactics.

    FPC is actually taking the 2A fight to the courtrooms. Here’s the list of recent legal action

    I agree the recent email was a poorly worded scare tactic, but that is nothing the NRA hasn’t been doing for years.
    At least with FPC, the money actually goes towards the fight, not just new suits for WLP.

    See today’s episode of ARFCOM NEWS for an example of the legal action the FPC takes.
    You can jump to the 6:00 mark to see the specific FPC portion, but if you are not already watching every episode, You should be.

    I got that email too and realized it was hyperbole. I have heard before that they do good work for the 2A. I joined FPC yesterday. Any more solicitations for cash will be probably ignored tho. I get enough of that from the NRA and GOA.

    I can do that. (news@firearmspolicy.org)


    Are you ready for war? Because war is coming tomorrow. And the first shots - figurative, or literal - will be fired tomorrow.


    After all, Joe Biden is preparing for one. It's why tens of thousands of active military have been deployed to the streets of DC.


    And it's why a tyrant lawmaker has proposed federal legislation to erect a fence around the Capitol Building.


    If we're lucky, tomorrow will be peaceful and there will be no violence for the government to use to justify massive infringements on liberty.


    PREPARE FOR BATTLE AGAINST BIDEN


    But if the worst occurs, there is no doubt that the Biden regime will use every force of government to ERADICATE the right to keep and bear arms.


    In either case, we know what's coming: widespread and brutal crackdowns on the right to keep and bear arms.


    Patriots will continue to be censored for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights to protect their Second.


    Pro-gun businesses will continue to be harassed and attacked by the Deep State and their friends in the financial industry.


    DONATE NOW TO FIGHT BACK!


    And an empowered ATF will employ vicious and heartless tactics to seize your guns banned by Congress.



    That's why we are urging every patriot member and supporter of the FPC Grassroots Army to give in support of freedom tonight.

    Like I said, I despise PACs. And so that I won't feel like a hypocrite, I dropped supporting the NRA.
    PACs are the fuel that feeds a corrupt political system. If you got enough money, one can get what he wants ... the people's wishes be damned.

    MHO and I don't judge those that feel different.

    like a lot of CA expats, I saw a pro 2A state changed to one of the most anti 2A states ever (they did the most damage in less than 1 generation). so, I support most pro 2A organizations, including FPC.

    They are looking for help from Texans in certain counties.
