New playbook, same goal: Masking gun control
Seattle Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 7 February, 2014 | Dave Workman

While maybe a half-million people will line Seattle’s streets today celebrating the Seahawks Super Bowl win, a “webinar” offered by the Progressive Majority Action Fund will provide tips to gun control proponents, including those in the Pacific Northwest, on how to push their anti-gun agenda.

The 90-minute webinar – an online seminar – begins at noon Pacific/3 p.m. Eastern. It is being described as “a lively and interactive discussion about how to argue for gun legislation” led by Bernie Horn, “one of the lead lobbyists for the passage of the Brady Law and the federal ban on assault weapons.”

The Progressive Majority is a Washington, D.C.-based group with a far-reaching liberal agenda and they identify a lineup of candidates, including about 40 in Washington State, who are running for various state and local offices.

They’ve even produced a copyrighted guide, co-authored by Mr. Horn and Progressive Majority President Gloria Totten, for these candidates they call “Voicing Our Values: A Message Guide for Candidates” and there’s an addendum dealing strictly with pushing the gun control agenda. It is reminiscent of a gun control playbook discovered accidentally online last summer by Bellevue gun rights advocate Alan Gottlieb and exposed first here.

The Progressive Majority Action Fund claims, “We turn grassroots activists into progressive champions.” They stress the importance of avoiding the term “gun control” and instead counsel would-be politicians to use the phrase “Preventing gun violence.”

Their multi-section addendum to the Message Guide is rather detailed. The sections are headlined:

Does everyone who attends the webinar gets a free Nazi swastika armband?

They may even be using this “messaging” guide:

I’ve been familiar with Dave Workman’s stuff for 15+ years. SAF (Alan Gottlieb, Dave Workman) are good and know their stuff.

The link in my previous post has the complete progressive messaging guide on just how to sidetrack you from thinking it’s actually............denying your right to arms. Which it is. Masters of subversion.

That’s a keeper. Nothing but Nazi and communist propaganda. I did a quick scan. I’ll be rereading it later. Thanks.

I downloaded it and bkmrkd it for future reference when the anti-gunners show up next NV legislative session. I’m gonna be loaded with stuff by the time it comes around. I think folks were unprepared for the huge influx of busybodies/nannies(thanks MAIGgots) from outside the state that showed up with WELL funded presentations. Of course I’ll probably be locked out but I do know a couple of state legislators who are on our side and don’t mind getting some much needed assistance.

I have met Dave Workman at a couple of Gun Rights Policy Conferences. He is a very hard worker.

His level of production is awesome.
