Miller campaign should receive boosts from immigration watchdog and NRA

As Miller says, “The truth is, most politicians support ‘gun rights’ because it is politically expedient. Our founders embraced the right to keep and bear arms as fundamental. They knew that for a free people, it was not just a personal right, but a political right, the last line of defense against a tyrannical government.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report presents an opportunity to help a true ally, thwart the establishment and maybe even change the balance of power a bit -- that is, providing YOU want to.

Worth a Thousand Words

GOA appears headed for a repeat of a self-created conflict.

To their credit, and deserving of our gratitude, they have been alone in identifying a gestating threat, and successful to the point of drawing desperate Prozi flak. But for some reason, their political arm refuses to follow through with rating impacts, despite numerous behind-the-scenes pleas from longtime strong supporters.

Time was, I could give their grades a credibility edge over the other guys, especially when the "competition" offers a feeble "single issue" excuse to provide cover for competing interests. It's awful tough calling for organized involvement when the leader refuses to press a unique advantage on THE hot-button issue of our time around which motivated activists can rally.

If anything has the potential to change the political landscape over the next decade and more, to the detriment of RKBA interests at the polls, this is it.

I look forward to being able to resume my unequivocal support for GOA grades.  When that will be, I can't say.

Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now.  Last time I posted a Grigg article link, I was accused of having an "anti-police stance."

Horrors. Bad me. Bad.

That said, I probably shouldn't have used the "f" word in my response.
