Bloomberg Superbowl Ad Counting on Fan Ignorance and Apathy about Rights

As for the NFL, it’s hostility to the Second Amendment is no secret to Americans who care more for the right of the people to keep and bear arms than they do for bread and circuses. League gutlessness, on the National Anthem and in its “Standard of Conduct” mandating player defenselessness, tells us all we need to know. The hiring of ex-ATF honcho and Fast and Furious cover-up king B. Todd Jones as special counsel for player misconduct tells us a bit more. [More]

It figures he’d pose in front of a flag neither he nor many NFL players stand for.

Putting a Face on the Oppressors

I wrote a best-selling book about Justin Trudeau in the last election. After the election, I received a letter by registered mail notifying me that I was being investigated for that book. Trudeau’s elections commissioner claimed it was an illegal campaign activity and demanded that I submit to an interrogation. So I went to Elections Canada’s Ottawa headquarters last week, where I was grilled for an hour by two 30-year veterans of the RCMP — and they refused to rule out a police raid on Rebel News headquarters!

WarOnGuns 2020 Political Questionnaire

The NRA Board of Directors Questionnaire was actually derived from a political questionnaire I developed years ago. I update and tailor it as I think necessary, and what follows are the questions I expect a politician to satisfactorily answer if he wants my support.

And yes, that's no guarantee he won't betray you, but at least this creates a record that can be used against him afterward and ever after to undeniably prove he lies to get what he wants.

Here are this year's questions:

• Do you believe that the Constitution is the “supreme Law of the Land” and that the Bill of Rights acknowledges the birthrights of all Americans? 
• If so, should these rights be proactively protected from infringement by all levels of government? How? 
• Please give some examples of gun laws you consider unconstitutional. 
• Please give some examples of gun laws you consider constitutional.
• Does the right to bear arms include the right for any peaceable citizen to carry them openly or concealed without a permit? 
• Do you believe that Americans have a right to own, use and carry full-auto weapons of militia utility? 
• Do you agree with “enforce existing gun laws” or "repeal existing gun laws"? 
• Do you support or oppose licensing requirements to own or carry firearms? Why? 
• What specific gun laws will you work to get repealed? 
• If elected, will you back your words of support for firearms rights up with consistent actions? How? 
• Do you agree that politicians should be held accountable in their NRA and other "gun lobby" grades for immigration actions that undermine the Second Amendment? If “No,” and if falling back on the “single issue” excuse, provide credible and testable evidence – not anecdotes and not just opinions – to show that will not happen.

Like I said, these are MY criteria. Feel free to use them or modify/develop your own, and don't forget to publicize a politician's answers or if he shines you on.

Giffords Flack Accusing 2A Defenders of Lying Shows Much about His Own Truthfulness

By revealing he was “a member of the ATF SWAT team,” Chipman reveals he had more in common with Lon Horiuchi than those “responsible gun owners” he has no problem enforcing against. With his disdain for those who stand down on unlawful orders, it's reasonable to surmise he would have obediently and unquestioningly followed those rules of engagement. [More]

If I'm reading him right, and I am, if you believe the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, you're an unpatriotic liar. And he's a "responsible gun owner." Who wants enforcers to arrest you if you don't obey disarmament edicts.

Did Someone Say 'Fascist'?

[More]

Let's ask someone who's actually finished college:

Modern Italian gun control laws date from the Fascist period; the Public Safety Act was passed in 1931 as one of a series of measures designed to put an end to leftist violence. Addressing the Italian Senate Benito Mussolini explained: "The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements. ... They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results."

I'm starting to think he might really be one of ours...

China Syndrome

Acclaimed Harvard chemist and nanoscientist, Dr. Charles Lieber, had served as a “strategic scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology for the past nine years and is accused of lying about his role as a “contractual participant” of China’s infamous Thousand Talents Plan. Last fall, after years of intel warnings, a bipartisan Senate committee blew the whistle on TTP’s systematic recruitment of an estimated 7,000 academics who have agreed to “transmit the knowledge and research they gain here to China in exchange for salaries, research funding, lab space, and other incentives.” Lieber reportedly received $50,000 a month plus living expenses and more than $1.5 million for a Chinese research lab, all while soaking up $15 million in federal grants from the National Institutes of Health and Defense Department.

I Guess That Makes Me a Liar and a Communist Democrat

Too bad the “quote” above left out that WLP was talking about gun in schools by students, gang bangers, etc. Lies, the domain of the communist democrats and the anti-gun crowd. It is a sad thing that Ammoland has such a bias against the NRA that truth is sacrificed in its continuous attacks. [More]

No, he was talking about everyone, "with the rare exception of law enforcement officers or trained security personnel."

And years later, when then-NRA 1st VP Sandra Froman started making noises about arming some teachers, she soon after had to issue a denial.

In 2012, Wayne LaPierre called for "armed police officers" in schools.

And funny thing-- when Asa Hutchison released a commissioned report acknowledging “Teachers should teach, but if there is personnel that has interest and is willing to go through 40 to 60 hours of [firearms] training, then schools should be willing to [arm them],” NRA's response, instead of "Hells YES!" was that they had no influence on it and "needed time to digest" the findings.


Their"School Shield" program still refers to "armed professionals."

Candidly, I haven't researched how far along NRA may have come since then and know that state affiliates like Buckeye Firearms Association are all over arming and training teachers, but this appears to be another case of our "leaders" in Fairfax being late and reluctant to the party. What I can state with certainty is they haven't called for the elimination of "gun-free zones" for "We the People," or alternatively, explained why we can be trusted on one side of a property line but all of a sudden become presumed threats on the other, so I'm assuming "Enforce existing gun laws" still applies.
