Flashback to the 2013 legislative session: IGO and Aaron Dorr are on the warpath fighting the suppressor legalization bill that IFC, NRA and ASA were pushing for months, and had put in the hours educating legislators, doing free range demos, and garnering support for years.  On January 27th, they sent out a message about the bill with these gems:

For example, HF384, a bill designed to allow for suppressors here in Iowa, would require the following dog and pony show before you could possess one:

[snip - they listed all the FEDERAL NFA requirements]

Does this sound like the sort of freedom that you want to fight for? Are we really supposed to be happy with seeing lawful gun owners treated this way?

It would seem to be easier for a recently released, convicted child molester to obtain permission to move in next to a daycare than for your average gun owner in Iowa to be allowed to exercise his Constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms!

What’s more, this is yet another dream “cover bill” for anti-gunners to hide behind.

Recognizing that this “freedom” is so incredibly regulated as to be virtually worthless to the average gun owner – many anti-gun legislators will undoubtedly support this bill in a desperate ploy to confuse their voters headed into this fall’s elections.

Then lo and behold, a month down the road the bill is scheduled for a vote the next day on the floor of the house.  HF384 had been renumbered HF2381 after passing out of committee.  That night, they post this message to their Facebook:



That's funny, I thought that was a "cover bill for anti-gunners" and "virtually worthless"?

Then again in the morning:



The bill passed with landslide bipartisan support in the house 82-16 on the 27th.  IGO was quick to take credit for the years-long struggle of IFC, NRA, and ASA:



They then sent out this to their email list:

Moments ago the Iowa House voted 82-16 to pass HF2381, a bill to allow law abiding Iowans the means to purchase and use suppressors on firearms.

While this bill came up for a vote too quickly for IGO to get an email out, we were able to communicate with tens of thousands of you via Facebook and your calls and your emails made a huge difference in determining the outcome of this vote.

Absolute garbage.  They fought the bill and then claimed to help pass it at the 11th hour.

They're up to the same crap this year.  I'm not shocked, it's their M.O.

anybody who reads their emails can see they change direction like the wind blows.  one minute they put out something about how you'll be registering yourself as a slave if cans pass, then they take credit for it...  lol.

what the hell?
