GRE Round Up for July 13

The Fruit Doesn't Fall...

...very far from the tree...[Read]

Now THAT'S What I'm Talkin' About...

Republicans vote to block funding for new gun-sale requirements  [More]

And Rep. Moran proves what a morON he is with that "virtual wholesale slaughter" bit of public pantie-wetting.

Keep after these bastards--use every damn trick in the book and cede no yardage.  Especially when ours is the high ground.

And tell Rep. Rehberg "Thanks."

Shut up, Tom Ridge—Bachmann’s a better candidate than you would be!

Shut up Ridge. Talk about a rascal who needs to be thrown out. As far as I’m concerned “Republicans” like you are bigger threats than any Democrat simply by your ability to subvert the party from the inside. The only people who will listen to you are party hacks über alles, the ignorant, and those who can be cowed. I can’t think of a single freedom-loving man or woman I know and respect who views a bloated statist career parasite like you as anything other than exactly that. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner column returns to Oathbreak Ridge. Also catch my Sunday appearance on Armed American Radio.

A Burning Issue

The only way to prevent this sort of thing from happening again is to track the weapon back to the gun manufacturer, then burn its factory to the ground. [More]

You know, the only way to prevent that sort of thing from happening may be to shoot arsonists.

We're the Only Ones Jawboning Enough

"Nobody saw anything, right?" [More]
One can only wonder what this big, brave paragon of self control is like when nobody is around to see anything.

On the Rocks

Breaking Story: U.S. Representatives demand answers of ICE in Tampa gunwalking case. [More]
I was out when this came in so did not have time to give it immediate attention beyond posting the document on Scribd.

Fire Eric Holder: Send Money

First, please sign our National Petition to Fire Eric Holder...Second, after you sign our Petition, please help NRA's fight this critical battle by making a contribution of $20, $40, $60, $80, $100 or the most generous amount you can afford to NRA Voice of Freedom today. [More]

The first part sounds good on the surface, but what effect will that have on gathering evidence against him, charging him and prosecuting him if he's out of the way and no longer an active target for focus?

Anyway, it's not a "real" petition and it asks for money--Hey, that's exactly what that lying "NRA Winning Team" asshole accused me of doing in his attempt to sabotage my successful one-man drive to  remove "collective rights" language from the Federal Register. And who then went on to do exactly what he falsely accused me of doing.

Go figure.

Kind of funny that the folks who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Gunwalker are now using it for fundraising--of course, I also thought it was kind of funny when they made great hay of their leadership in it at the annual meeting--all the while relegating the award ceremony for those who actually have led on this story off premises, out of sight and away from them.

In terms of the donations they're asking for, I have a better idea: If you have the money to throw at self-serving grandstanding like this, why not instead support the guy taking point in this story? Is a buck a month voluntary subscription really too much to ask for all the value you get from all the work he does?

This Day in History: July 13

Robert Parker, Lieutenant, 2nd NY Artillery, "Rose early in the morning & pursued our journey to camp where we arrived at 8 o'clock, hungry & fatigued." [More]

Archives are here.  They're posting by the week and replacing the show at each day's link the evening of the broadcast date--or supposed to be--I'm still banging heads with them over that.


Spread the word on this, OK? Nobody else is doing a daily exclusive gun rights broadcast in a major market during morning drive time, and if this works, it could not only create an opportunity to spread to other markets, but also open doors for efforts by others.  We complain our voice is not heard in the media--here we've got a foot in the door at an NBC affiliate station to promote a full-blown no compromise message.  Just a few short months ago I certainly would never have predicted I'd see that happen--or that I'd be a  part of it.

Lineup subject to change without notice.
