Is There a Problem Here, Butch? Then Sign SB 1389

Call Gov. Otter Immediately and Urge Him to Sign Constitutional Carry into Law!  [More]

So when we're told he "Opposes restrictions on the right to bear arms," can we take it to the bank?  After all, who helped to give him his position of power and privilege?

My question for you, Governor, is why do you even have to be asked?  Why aren't you leading the fight?

It could never happen here! [More]

They Don't Just Hate 2A

Emmerich was allegedly warned by the producer that if he showed his sign, he would be arrested based upon the fact that he was known to the producer as one who displays religious signage. After the producer walked away, Emmerich stationed himself in view of the camera, behind the commentators, and held up his John 3:16 sign. While Emmerich was holding up his sign, a police officer grabbed him from behind by his shirt and neck and moved him out of the view of the camera. [More]

What was "the producer's" name? I'd like to tell him what I think of him.

And why would anyone who cares about RKBA -- Christian or not -- give aid and comfort to the ESPNemy?

The Super Genius Establishment RINO Flack

The super-PAC Make America Awesome launched a Facebook campaign last week with three ads ahead of GOP contests Tuesday in Utah and Arizona ... Each ad is expected to reach around 10,000 voting-age Mormons per day, Liz Mair, the GOP strategist behind the group, told BuzzFeed. [More]

Ol' Liz sure is getting a lot of media play for someone whose "Awesome" PAC Twitter feed, created last year, only has 506 followers, and whose last commercial garnered a whopping 427 YouTube views.

That's some strategist.

Interesting -- she shares a seat (no pun intended) on the GoProud advisory council with Grover Norquisling. And they have even more in common:

Mair’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, wide-open-borders immigration policies, and public advocacy for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill...

She doesn't explain how a pathway to citizenship for a 70-80% Democrat/anti-gun demographic isn't going to Make America Awful.

One factor among many Mair just doesn't seem to get is that Melania Trump is hardly seen as a liability, and this attack comes across more like unprincipled catty jealousy than anything else. All she's "uncovered" is an opportunity that wouldn't have been offered to her.

You start digging back into people's pasts like this and you make your own decisions as a twenty-something fair game.

We're the Only Ones Concerned Enough

"In general, the concept of any kind of weapon that's disguised, so that it's not apparent that it's a weapon, would be cause for concern," said Bill Johnson, executive director and general counsel for the National Association of Police Organizations. [More]

Why, Bill? Flesh that out for us.  Then explain why you trough-feeding ************s endorsed Obama, you oath-breaking ***** of ****.

Y'know, here these designers come up with something so the hoplophobes won't freak, and the Totalitarian Lobby come up with new objections. The reason why is obvious, and is the true cause for concern.

Crippling Hoplophobia

He also tells me that ROTC will be doing these exercises for the next couple weeks. So I reply that I guess I'll be calling 911 for the next couple weeks—and I will. Every time. [More]

I suppose at some point they could just arrest her.

"Associate professor," eh? That means she doesn't have tenure. It's not like liberal arts English writing teachers are rarities, and it's not like she's not considered a mediocrity.

Maybe this is just some plan to reduce vulnerability at a time of fiscal realities by making herself a social justice martyr and adding fear of a legal settlement into the mix.

Then again, maybe she's just delusional:

Not Afraid to Call a National Socialist a National Socialist

The NRA Is Already Back To Making Hitler Comparisons [More]

Gosh, Where would they ever come up with an idea like that from?

These Nazis sure are touchy about admitting who they are.

Speaking of touchy, does headcase "gun criminal" Brock ever use his hands on you, Timothy, or just the paddle?

Short of the Goal

As we near the end of March, we find ourselves approaching the end of our first quarter. We’ve seen great success so far in 2016 to raise the funds necessary to defeat Bloomberg’s Background Checks, but we are not yet at our quarterly fundraising goal. [More]

My unsolicited two cents:

Polling shows those who don't know any better believe "background checks" sound like "common sense," and the average gun owner who buys from dealers and submits to NICS may not grok what the big deal is. That may help explain the lack of a sense of urgency or need on their part and the subsequent funding shortfall. The other side, of course, need not worry about that.

I'd refer to it as "Bloomberg's Private Sale Ban" or "Bloomberg's Total Gun Registration Scheme" or some such in all public statements.

Of course, I'd also point out how you can prove what the grabbers are really after has nothing to do with background checks, but then again, that's something the major players don't want anything to do with. I covered that here (scroll down to where the article talks about BIDS).

That continues to be ignored by practically everyone except me, Alan Korwin, and a handful of others. Too bad, because with a bit of amplifying, the public could be shown how the goal of "background checks" could be achieved without registration -- and that would expose the true goal of anyone who insists transfer records must still be created.

Speaking of major players, it would appear their lack of a funding commitment equal to the task at hand is more motivated by how they will be portrayed as weak if Bloomberg prevails than by anything else. It's not like we haven't seen that concern be their #1 Priority before.

A Prohibited Person

The retired Nevada businessman, who never owned a gun before or after his conviction, said it’s a civil rights issue, not a gun control issue, and that after a felon does his or her time, they should be able to re-join society with the same rights as anyone else. [More]

Everyone is still in denial over the truism.

I'm actually more concerned that he's a Democrat.

We're the Only Ones Unassuming Enough

It's not much of a risk to assume that excuse only works one way.

Mom Demands Answers

So what can we do as parents? You should know if homes your child visits have firearms. Period. You should know where they're stored and how they're secured, and if the owner won't tell you, your child shouldn't be there. [More]

Think it through, lady. Think it through.

The Elephant in the Room of Which We Dare Not Speak

A largely peaceful country remained peaceful... [More]

I suppose everybody is too worried about how others will demonize them and demand their heads to point out an inconvenient truth, one that can be observed throughout this country as well...

Just don't jump to a collectivist conclusion. As noted before:

And we also can't forget to look at race--not as a cause of violent crime, but as an indicator of populations most directly affected by and responsive to a continuing history of destructive government policies. If we're afraid to even address this, we're never going to be able to make things right. And those hurt the most by this self-imposed blindness will continue to be the least prosperous and protected among us.

Maybe It's an Oversight?

I've read this thing forward and backward, and if there's an "I" word or an "M" word anywhere in there, it sure slipped past me. [More]

Imagine, being so intolerant of cultural diversity as to identify your enemy!

Reset

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday threw out a 2014 federal court ruling that upheld new Colorado gun laws. [More]

I suppose we should view this as an incremental "win," but why anyone should have to go through this "legal" nonsense in the first place is an intolerable outrage. Is that because no one running things is smart enough to understand what "shall not be infringed" means, or is there a different explanation?

And yeah, I agree. Stupid question.
