In March 1995 , MOM 's newsletter , '' Taking Aim '' , reprinted a lengthy letter from Richard John ( " Wayne " ) Snell , a convicted murderer of an Arkansas State Trooper and a pawn shop owner , asserting that his coming execution related to a series of Arkansas scandals allegedly connected with President Bill Clinton , in which twenty-five victims were said to have met strange deaths . Snell was to die , according to MOM , because he " was and still is heavily involved in exposing Clinton for his trail of blood to the White House . " MOM organized against the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the Federal Assault Weapons Ban which increased membership who believed that threats to the Second Amendment were orchestrated by financial and corporate elites in a global conspiracy . After Oklahoma City bombing , Robert Fletcher declared to the press , " Expect more bombs ! " As fears that the Y2K computer meltdown would provoke social collapse , MOM capitalized on these anxieties through its catalog and John Trochmann 's frequent appearances at preparedness expos . After 2000 , membership dwindled , however MOM continued to fuel conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the 2007 Financial crisis
