This should keep the gun control activist second-guessing! A suspected "double agent"!:D

personally i think that spying thing works both ways..i firmly believe the gun control
folks got people giving them reports on this forum ,the nra and all the other forums etc..
..jmo but they would be foolish not to wouldn t they..

From the article:

"It raises some real concerns with the tactics of the NRA. If they've got one person, maybe they have more. If they've done this dirty trick, what else have they done?" said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, which planned to search its offices for listening devices and computer spyware."

That may be slim, but I hope the gun-ban groups start eating their young, always looking over their shoulder, wondering who's a friendly, and who's not! Good stuff...

The "Gun Ban" Group has a long history of underhanded activities to deny Citizens of their right to keep and bear arms.
A little "tit for tat" is fine by me.

Well, the problem with this story is that there's a lot of unanswered questions and plenty of room for twisting words to make it sound different.

From what I've read of this story, there are several things that, IMO, could be the real truth.

1.) This whole thing has been made up, and there is no WhatsHerName. Anti-gun-rights folks have never been shy about outright lying. I've not seen anything to imply this is real.

2.) WhatsHerName is a former NRA member, or a current NRA member that currently believes that gun control really is the answer. As in, she is or was a gun owner, but feels that gun rights are both important AND subject to government restriction. Rather than leave it up to the uninformed to decide what's reasonable, she's joined these groups to try and steer them toward reasonable restrictions.
In a typical extremist reaction, they claim she's a wolf in sheep's clothing rather than a dedicated ally, because, after all, it's impossible for anyone to not be at one extreme end or the other.

3.) This is a plot to discredit the NRA, by having one of their members get an NRA membership and then let it get "discovered" so that it sounds like WhatsHerName is a part of the NRA's "Super Secret Covert Ops Ninja Team."

4.) WhatsHerName is an NRA member who, alone or with the help of other NRA members, has been infiltrating these gun control groups, but without the approval or funding of the NRA as an organization.

5.) It's possible, but IMO, unlikely, that the NRA, as an organization, decided to send people out to infiltrate anti-gun-rights groups. Considering that I consider such groups to be working in direct opposition of a human right, I consider this no worse than the police infiltrating the KKK so they can keep an eye on them. I.E. if the NRA is actually doing this, which I doubt, I'd consider it a good thing.

6.) The situation is actually reversed. WhatsHerName is an anti-gun-rights person who has been employed to infiltate the NRA, but she's reported fears that her cover has been blown. The anti-gun-rights people published a prepared document to claim that it's the NRA that's been doing the infiltration.
