This evening's Gun Rights Examiner report notes "leaders" bound and determined to either betray us outright or to let it happen through deliberate inaction.

“You might notice, as did the California’s Attorney General, that federal law enforcement officers are not mentioned in this exception!” Michel pointed out. “The ‘Department of Justice’ referred to in this section is the California Department of Justice, not a federal agency.

"Progressive" feminism revealed in all it's Opposite Day splendor, from the party of "women's rights"...

Kind of a double standard from when a "conservative" made the mistake of so characterizing someone demanding government-subsidized birth control for her serial casual couplings...

No wonder authenticated slutbags love Weiner so...
