The retrofit was meant for individuals who have limited mobility in their hands or who have difficulties pulling the trigger multiple times. Many detractors may not grasp why someone with such limiting factors would even want to hunt, shoot, or fire a gun, but many persons with disabilities are avid outdoor sportspeople. There are specialized wheelchairs designed for hunting and trekking through woods and brush, adaptive crossbows, lifting tree stands, and add-ons that allow hunters with severe disabilities to fire their weapons by blowing through a straw. Simply put, if it’s a right to own and utilize guns, the right must be extended to people with disabilities. [More]You wouldn't know it from the way the Palm Pistol has been treated.
Still, it's useful to get the backstory on this. Who'da thunk it would come from Kos?

Cover Fire
Gun Rights Group: NRA’s Support of Regulation Is Laying Down ‘Cover’ for Pro-Gun Control Republicans [More]Not as much as its support of pro-amnesty Republicans, but so far, it looks like no "gun rights group" has made the connection to the "single issue."
Well, one did, but it seems to have backed off.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a ruling Tuesday dismissed a challenge to an Alameda County ordinance that prohibits gun stores within 500 feet of schools, liquor stores and residential neighborhoods. [More]And if 500 feet is good, 5,000 feet must be 10 times better, right? And...

Relatively Uncontroversial Tweets
“It’s the white supremacist patriarchy, stupid” ... [More]Yeah, hell, why would anyone be held accountable by their employer for overt racism in this day and age?
Poor victim.
No!
That sums up the response I got from an NRA director I asked if the Board was consulted before management threw bump stocks under the bus. In case anyone has any doubts about ultimate Nominating Committee criteria...

Expect Agenda-Advancing Activism from Anti-Gun Judge Reviewing Hillary Clinton Emails
But she may have inadvertently given us a tool to monkeywrench the "fundamerntal transformation"...Put another way, she unilaterally decided your life and your rights were less important than the off-chance you might fire your gun in self-defense and accidentally threaten an endangered species animal, or perhaps cause other damage by adding a minuscule amount of lead to the environment. And that’s in spite of case after documented case of threats to life in national parks that were known at the time. [More]
