Senate confirms Jones to head ATF following Heitkamp delay on cloture

A more likely green light indicator may be the National Rifle Association inexplicably signaling their neutrality and the National Shooting Sports Foundation actually backing the Jones confirmation, removing the danger of political reprisals, at least from the two major national organizations wielding commensurate money and influence.

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.

Let the excuses about "political capital" begin.

California Attorney General says feds not exempt from state ‘safe’ handgun law

“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.

Star Jones has a HUGE 'But'

"I support the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. But I'm telling you, the guns, we need to get them out." [More]

Morgan also called Nuzzi a “slutbag,” “t**t,” and “c**t” while threatening to sue her. [More]

"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...
