Another Mealy-Mouthed RINO
...should this legislation reach the House floor, you can be assured that I will your position in mind.
No, [REDACTED], I'm not asking you to [KEEP] anything in mind, I'm DEMANDING that you show leadership on this, or by God, I will work for the damned Democrat just to get your gutlesss butt out of there. The worst one of them could do is push us closer to civil war, and if you're the best the Republicans can offer, the political process is dead anyway.
Pull this "I am a strong proponent of Second Amendment rights" horsesh!+, like people who understand it better than you are some kind of rubes born yesterday. If you're not going to champion the Bill of Rights, of what the hell use to me are you?
This is the replacement for the last worthless GOP trough-feeder, the one who voted against holding Holder in contempt. Where do they get these worm-tongued poltroons from?
"He Stripped Souls as Bare as Bodies"
[More]
I just saw a link to this May 2012 Dave Kopel article on Facebook--I don't believe we talked about it at the time. Here's the important part:
NYPD spokesman Paul J. Browne told the Times that the Bloomberg gun detectors are currently effective at a range of 3 to 5 meters, and that the department is working to extend their range to 25 meters.You don't say...
Sell-Out Point Man?
“What I hope we can do is get a bill passed out of the Judiciary,” Mr. Reid said. “It may not be everything everyone wants, but I hope it has some stuff in there that’s really important.” [More]It will have nothing that will do anything but further infringe on the law-abiding and further empower the feds. Nothing. He knows it and so do we.
What's the bill of goods some argued as an excuse not to pay Reid back for his confirmation betrayals? That we need him in that spot because he will keep bills from getting to the floor?
This is sweet. Now he can do his new master's bidding, as well as his old. Expect him to push forward preemptive surrender legislation already agreed to by self-interested deal-makers, under the excuse that it will help keep really, really BAD things from happening. And he's already greasing the skids.
If, instead, what was being pushed was the message that we will not be scapegoated, that the effort needs to be on ending gun free zones, and that any politician who betrays us will be targeted for removal, the House wouldn't dare pass firearm and magazine bans, so what happened in Reid's Senate wouldn't matter.
So why would the gun community/industry "leadership" give in on universal registration and blanket mental health dragnets? It's because the well-heeled and connected believe we need to toss the circling jackals a scrap of flesh so they can act like they've won something. The understanding also evidently precludes embarrassing the Republican establishment -- it's not like Old Yellowstain's balls are anywhere but in his hand, and it's not like his Senate counterparts aren't overcome by the vapors.
Obama's played and won at chicken with this group enough times to know their mettle. He also knows that scrap will work in politics just like it does in nature.
It's up to us to head all that off.
GRE Updates
 |
| Found this here. I want one. |
I see Steve D. Jones is back in action, and there's a Little Rock GRE, Jennifer Cruz, who's been at it since mid-December.
Also get the latest from Kurt Hofmann, Dave Workman, and they're even including Anthony Martin in the mix, who, while not technically a GRE, does enough important work in that area to qualify as a visiting professor.
Chicago's ‘shoot first’ training endangers citizens and non-uniformed officers
That the person with the gun may be a citizen who was defending his or her life, or a plainclothes law enforcement officer or agent engaged in protecting their own and/or others’ lives does not seem to enter into McCarthy’s training instructions... [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner post notes the threat of being shot ought to result in an appropriate response from targets who are able to prevent it.
Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...
The weapons have been removed safely by trained police officers. [More]Why do I imagine them sitting up and barking like seals?
Sounds like they've got good subjects like Simon trained, too. I guess he ought to be grateful they didn't put him through this ordeal.

Today's Five-Minute Activism Task
Reid & McConnell are reportedly about to change the Senate rules. It’s probably a harbinger of sell-outs to come. But Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell is apparently about to conclude an agreement with Majority Leader Harry Reid which would sell out pro-gunners and decimate minority rights under the Senate rules.You know the drill, or you should by now.

No "Buts" About It
We just saw some big "but" excuse-making from a double-talking Oath Weaseler. Here's a sheriff who does a much better job, and unlike some who just pledge not to enforce federal laws, this guy promises to not "stand idly by," kind of like his colleagues up in Utah.

Cuomo proposes $36M for newly tightened gun laws [More]Slavery isn't free, you know...
8 Out of 10 Comrades Agree
A 2011 Levada poll indicated that 80 percent of the population does not want looser gun laws. [More]Gee, imagine that. It doesn't work there, either, at least for its stated purpose, so those interested in power demand more of it and the cud-chewers swallow it right down.
Oh, for the good old days...
This Day in History: January 23
This park is named after the HMS Culloden, a British 74-gun warship sailing with the Channel Fleet during the American Revolutionary War. On January 23, 1781, as she was on her way to Newport, Rhode Island to intercept French ships attempting to run a British blockade, she ran into severe weather and ran aground at what is now called Culloden Point.
