AstroTurf Harassment Campaign against Gun Owner Rights a FACT

What this is, obviously, is a lashing out at the results of the November elections, and an attempt by the monopoly of violence lobby to gain in “friendly” jurisdictions what was denied them at the polls. It is further an attempt to worry and harass in a “thousand cuts” strategy, hoping to drain reserves and even “win” through selecting targets that will be hard-pressed or not inclined to fight back.

It's a good thing Hillary's not making the federal court appointments. How's that for understatment?

Wishful Thinking

Gun-Owning Leftists Are a Good Thing; Here’s Why [More]
Why, because they'll see the light?

It's hardly the new phenomenon the media -- and some in "our" camp -- are making it out to be. And decades of experience tell us otherwise.

My Cop Masters

Oh yeah, nice hit piece, Codera. Pretend the Left is totally disarmed so your cop masters can sleep easy while they disarm those who would protect the people of Ferguson. [More]
You keep believing that, "ErikO." All of it.

It's to my advantage for opponents to be as ignorant as possible.

Like these guys.  Note they overwhelmingly avoid the central question of who they support politically, and instead go right into predictable insults?

I guess the conclusion we're supposed to draw from this is that nothing will work except total disarmament.  We need more gun free zones," more defenseless victims.

At least that's the Opposite Day "progressive"  narrative we're supposed to buy into.

"Only Ones" exempted, of course.

If only they would disarm you and me.

Hey, remember after the Heller ruling when Obama said "I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne"...?

He's still never told us what exactly it is that works there.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

Where to Begin...?

Question sent via Facebook messenger in re "Situational Obliviousness or Happy Coincidence?":
I am a constituent of Bruce Franks, Jr in St Louis. He visits my cafe frequently. If I were to bend his ear about the flaws of that 72 hr bill, what would you recommend I point out to be the most persuasive in 5 minutes?
I suppose you could point out how such a system would be useless without registration, and without requiring each gun owner to keep an inventory by serial number, or you could point out how they could end up incriminating themselves if it turns out the gun in their possession was not obtained through an FFL, or how if they're "prohibited persons" themselves, requiring them to self-report their possession is a violation of their Fifth Amendment right. So right off the bat, criminal constituents are exempted.

Innocent victims could also end up digging out of an expensive legal hole if the gun they report later turns up at a crime scene, and conversely, perpetrators could abuse such a reporting system to have it on file they reported their weapon stolen.

What if you don't check your guns daily, and it's been gone for longer than 72 hours? Which cities have already enacted such edicts and not even used them to prevent, solve or prosecute one crime? Ask him who else has already tried it and what their success rate has been, and don't let him get away with dancing around with a non-answer.

And noting the best legal advice available, don't talk to the police, why would Franks require his constituents to do so, especially without a lawyer?  Can they all afford one?

You could point out all of this and no doubt more, but I might be inclined to just ask one question of him or of any politician proposing this:

Where do you get your constitutional authority to require this of the citizenry?

Then insist on an immediate and specific answer.

Don't you just hate it when that happens with your revolvers?

What? Intentional?

And there's cultural precedent?

What are you, some kind of hater?
