As Good as Gone

[Click to enlarge]
If we lose the Presidential election to an extremist anti-gunner like Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden, our Second Amendment rights and our guns are as good as gone...
Really?

You believe that, Wayne?  Or did you mean to say your guns are as good as gone?

And then are you going to say "Enforce existing gun laws" and advise members to turn 'em all in Mr. and Mrs. America? And if we don't like it we can vote our way out? Like they can do in California and New Jersey?

I thought you were supposed to be a leader -- you sure get paid like one.

And the only way to avert this disaster is to buy a coin and then eat whatever heaping helping of Republican steamers they put in front of us -- or we'll "lose our guns"?  Even if that just means the pathway to citizenship they're selling us out for will make doing things your way even more useless and futile?

You're still not going to get serious and admit that's a legitimate "single issue" concern, are you, Wayne?  That way, you can keep passing out those "A" grades and keep your insider Beltway Boys access all the way up to retirement and beyond.

One question -- after Hillary takes my guns, what's to stop her from taking my coin?

What a goddamn con job.



What to Look for

If this is what the sellout neocons end up fielding, I'll be looking for "Madame President." [More]

Or has the GOP forgotten how well Dole, McCain and Romney did at inspiring the base to give its all?

Media Emphasis on Guns Not Reflected in Giffords and Kelly Akron U Talk

In any event, the majority of the Kelly/Giffords presentation had nothing to do with “gun control,” in spite of WKYC’s hand-wringing “agenda journalism” emphasis of that topic.  [More]
Not only that, but I didn't get to ask my question.

Orwellian "Conservatives"

‘Supermajority’ of House Freedom Caucus to back Paul Ryan’s speaker bid [More]
Yeah, betray your core constituents (again!) and set up conditions for your own demise. It's hard for me to believe they're truly this stupid, which leaves they're truly this cowardly and corrupt as the only plausible alternative.

At least this'll make Harry happy.

Some People

A few general statements about people and guns... [More]
WarOnGuns Correspondent Michael G's take:
Not a very good poem, one of those modern ones that doesn't rhyme or scan. But a good example of Progressive's opposites day. Using a poem, an inherently emotional format, the poet portrays himself (and anyone who agrees with him) as driven by facts and logic and those who disagree with him as driven by emotion. Not to mention projecting his own fear on to others and saying they are fearful.
Oh, it's a poem?  See, I'm not sensitive enough to pick up on such subtleties, but if that's the case:

There once was a Prozi named Andy...

Survey SAYS...

Majority Say More Concealed Weapons Would Make U.S. Safer [More]
This could be useful information to impart to those who base their "No Guns" policies on perceived bottom line issues.

Open Secrets

[T]he battle over the Second Amendment will be won by progressives in the coming years, thanks to a secret weapon. [More]
That's some secret. Some of us have been screaming as loud as we can about this for years, doing everything we can to get the gun groups to acknowledge the danger to the "single issue" and to take proactive steps to educate their members and pressure politicians with grade adjustments. It's not our fault if those warnings have been ignored and marginalized so as not to rock the access boat.

The funny thing is, it should hardly be a new "secret" revelation for WND. Two-and-a-half years ago, their columnist Albert Thompson wrote:
If the NRA, GOA, hunters, range owners, the tea party, churches and gun/ammo manufacturers don’t fight amnesty efforts, the Democrat elite will get their wish. In a few years, the Democrats will win legislative majorities in the states.
You know what the Democrat elite want to do. Amnesty gives them the power.
The Second Amendment will not be safe.
CPAC can’t support amnesty and the Second Amendment.
The RNC can’t support amnesty and the Second Amendment.
The conservative-libertarian movement can’t support amnesty and the Second Amendment.
What's particularly disappointing are many of the comments that focus exclusively on blaming "liberals" while still apparently oblivious to Republican culpability. And "Molon Labe" comments would have a lot more credibility if there was some indication that such "efforts" were not the extent of the committed "activism" of those posting them.

Ah well, maybe now that this is getting wider notice, a light bulb will go on about the troops-rousing (and fundraising) potential, just like we saw when Fast and Furious was finally acknowledged after our "leaders" emerged from hiding.
