The Ceasefire Foundation under the new and improved leadership of "Executive Director" Gregory Roberts, has come up with a new legislative agenda:
This new agenda replaces the failed agendas of previous years, in closing the non-existent gun show "loophole" and the mis-named "assault weapons" ban. This new agenda is also in conflict with its sister gun prohibition organizations across the country. The talking points of other gun prohibition groups is always centered on using the words "hidden" and "concealed" to falsely portray lawful gun owners as menacing criminals. Whether the new strategy represents a blunder by Gregory Roberts that undercuts his fellow gun prohibitionists, or is a calculated move that is supported by his fellow gun prohibitionists, remains to be seen.
Examples of propaganda from other gun prohibition groups is presented below.
1. "The proposed National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011 would shred those [state] standards and the public safety judgments behind them, creating a locked-and-loaded race to the bottom in which states with strict requirements, like New York, would be forced to allow people with permits from states with lax screening to carry HIDDEN loaded guns.

2. Your right to be weapon free. As of April 2004, Ohio law allows gun owners with permits to carry loaded, HIDDEN guns in public. However, less than 1% of Ohioans have permits and only one in four Ohioans think private citizens should pack CONCEALED weapons (Gallop Poll, 2005).

3. Ohio must start protecting its citizens ... End the unpopular "CONCEALED carry" law that allows Ohioans to carry loaded, HIDDEN guns.

4. We believe law makers should be making it harder to carry loaded, HIDDEN guns in public, not easier.

5. While it is generally illegal for CCW permit holders to carry guns around schools, they are allowed to carry loaded, HIDDEN handguns onto school premises when they are picking up or dropping off students, as long as the firearm is not taken out of the car.

6. HB 1205 will allow those law-abiding citizens who have actually committed crimes to carry their HIDDEN firearms to stadiums, bars shopping malls, parks, concert halls, practically any public gathering," said Jean Gratay, testifying on behalf of Colorado Ceasefire in opposition to the bill

7. Ceasefire Oregon applauds the many legislators who stood up to the gun lobby this year and refused to succumb to its strong-arm tactics. We thank, in particular, Senators Ginny Burdick, Suzanne Bonamici, Jackie Dingfelder, and Floyd Prozanski and Representatives Mary Nolan, Carolyn Tomei, and Tina Kotek. We sincerely thank all the legislators who refused to make it easier to obtain guns or to carry loaded, HIDDEN handguns in our state.

8. Barr and Gottlieb are advising gun owners who want to carry guns in public to keep them CONCEALED from view; that is, make sure the danger is HIDDEN. Perhaps this exposes their real concern about the open carry movement – that it eventually will cause a surge in public concern about the far more prevalent CONCEALED carrying of guns made possible by the gun lobby-supported “shall-issue” laws passed in most states during the last two decades making it far easier to obtain licenses to carry CONCEALED weapons. They also likely fear that open carry may intensify public opposition to recent efforts to gradually expand the locations in which CONCEALED carry may occur –such as parks, bars, college campuses, even airports. After all, it’s not the “openness” of OPEN carry that scares people – it’s the presence of the guns themselves and the inherent danger they entail. The only reason there is not an equivalent reaction to CONCEALED carry is that the danger is, by definition, HIDDEN from view.

9. Dangerous people are getting licenses to kill and a new bill in Congress will only make it easier for them to carry their loaded, HIDDEN guns on more streets in more communities.

10. The Brady Campaign opposes efforts to force college and school officials to allow students and teachers to carry HIDDEN handguns on campus and in classrooms.

11. Allowing untrained, or under-trained, persons to carry loaded HIDDEN handguns in public puts people at risk of being killed or injured, intentionally and unintentionally. It also makes it harder for law enforcement to identify the real perpetrators during a shooting. Allowing more people to carry CONCEALED handguns in densely populated cities, on crowded subways, buses and sports stadiums, is a recipe for disaster
