I figure you guys who love arguing about gun rights would love
this. You just can't make this stuff up. :-)

A gun-control activist who championed the cause for more than a decade and
served on the boards of two anti-violence groups is suspected of working as
a paid spy for the National Rifle Association, and now those organizations
are expelling her and sweeping their offices for bugs.

The suggestion that Mary Lou McFate was a double agent is contained in a
deposition filed as part of a contract dispute involving a security firm.
The muckraking magazine Mother Jones, in a story last week, was the first
to report on McFate's alleged dual identity.

The NRA refused to comment to the magazine and did not respond to calls
Tuesday from The Associated Press. Nor did McFate.

The 62-year-old former flight attendant and sex counselor from Sarasota,
Fla., is not new to the world of informants.
