Ah, drat - Cloud Flare is a bandwidth provider. They aren't hosting it...

My suspicion from digging into tracert and whois is that both the bogus sites are hosted by TeliaSonera in Sweden. Of course, it isn't all that difficult to mask that, and the TeliaNet routes may be exactly that, a mask. My route leaves the AT&T CONUS trunk and hits two different TeliaNet IPs before linking back to cloudflare-ic-309901-atl-bb1.c.telia.net at CloudFlare before resolving to the final 104.18 address.

They're almost certainly not in the U.S. or a territory, but they can be found. I'm normally not a conspiracy theorist type, but wouldn't it be fascinating if someone could, with good evidence, link this non-US illegal activity to a Soros or Bloomberg funded anti-gun initiative?

Link to a Google results of "Hensley Cocker," the undoubtedly fictitious character leading the "Share the Safety" nonsense. The logo looks like my 9-year-old nephew did it, and they've even registered a fake "Hensley Cocker" Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/people/Hensley ... 2385022198). Facebook should find 'em and sue them, too.

I hope these idiots find themselves hit from all four sides with serious lawsuits.

Absolutely disgusting. And yet another reason to try to register any related domain names you can think of that might be used to masquerade as your organization.

The domain "nrapress.org" was registered just 20 days ago using a domain ownership masking service called "Whois Privacy Corp." in Nassau, Bahamas: http://www.whois.com/whois/nrapress.org.

The domain "sharethesafety.org" was similaryl created only recently, last May 19, and masked using the same Bahamas company: http://www.whois.com/whois/sharethesafety.org.

The NRA obviously never tries to hide or mask their valid domain ownerships. If I were the NRA, there would be some scary-good lawyers about to shut down--hard--these fake domains...and find out who was behind it.
