Notes from the Resistance...
That response either ends the inquiry or potentially opens the door to something much larger. [More]
If they really weren't involved, and they say under penalty of perjury that they weren't, a couple of questions need to be asked: Who were those guys? Or alternatively, who set everybody up on this and why?
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday split along party lines over whether to advance the nomination of gun control advocate David Chipman ... [More]
So now it's up to the full Senate.
You can watch that here. Note @37.10 in, Chuck Grassley says:
"Aside from Mr. Chipman, ATF has also failed to fully respond to my and Senator Johnson's oversight requests regarding the October 2018 Hunter Biden firearms incident. That's when Hunter Biden's gun was discarded near a school. In response, ATF used the Freedom of Information Act to shield... as a shield to not produce records."
What FOIA action would that be? Is anyone else filing them on this?
And this @$$hole either never heard of rules with the effect of laws, or has and doesn't want people to know about that.

Democrats — Not Republicans — Are The Radicals To Worry About: Here’s The Proof [More]
It's a combination of projection and gaslighting, both tactics congenital liars excel at.

The Feds can’t compel states to enforce restrictions on guns or immigrants [More]
Funny, how "the newsraper of record" favors that in one case and disparages it in another.
And I would argue that activating "the militia of the several states" to repel an invasion is absolutely consistent with the Founders' intent.
In a major development in the MAGA riot investigation, a member of the far-right Oath Keepers pled guilty on two of six charges against him. There are reportedly 15 other members involved. The first January 6th rioter has also been sentenced. [Watch]
Low-hanging fruit now trying to save their own skins will be increasingly broken and exploited to conflate and smear anyone challenging November's results.

Biden Democrats: Want The Failed Australian Gun Ban Plan [More]
Because we've got to get to the Chinese gun ban plan in increments.

I'm with Rick Blaine on this one.

Ignoring Constitutional restraints and just assuming whatever powers and enacting whatever edicts you want is the very definition of totalitarianism. [More]
No wonder she wants us disarmed.

"Those who say the blood of Patriots, you know, and all the stuff about how we’re gonna have to move against the government," Biden said. "If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons." [More]
Talk about a situation rich in target opportunities!
You have to wonder what sort of cowards or traitors wouldn't resist maniacal totalitarians who would do this.
And The Bee has a point.

UPDATE-- This post wins (language caution):
Former NRA President Tricked Into Giving Fake Commencement Speech by Anti-Gun Group (Video) - They should have run a background check first [More]
Yeah, that's pretty damn dumb. I do what I can to check out people who contact me and want something. I'm not claiming to be immune, but a little due diligence helps minimize embarrassing set-ups.
In their defense, I can see where people who don't set out to deliberately defraud others just don't think that way. It says much about character when "our" side comes to the table with facts and the grabbers' only goal is to deceive, humiliate, and destroy.

Democrats’ Plan to Turn Illegal Aliens Into Voters - Biden’s border crisis and voting “reform” bills endanger the votes of American citizens. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!
I see one writer on AmmoLand who disagrees with me is recommending NRA devote resources to translate its stuff into Spanish. I'm actually not against that idea and note Bloomberg is doing it.
My argument is that even if they do, it will be a drop in the bucket compared to other media inputs the foreign nationals receive on political issues. They'll be bringing a squirt gun to a blazing inferno.
And what do they do if, say, Univision rejects their ad spots while its "news reports" continue to editorialize and its programming continues to condition for disarmament? That and don't expect the "fact-checker" cancel forces out there to give social media messaging a fair shake.
And don't forget all the other imported foreign cultures with alien attitudes that will need convincing.
By all means, try, just don't hang your hat on that and say it's settled without first coming up with an informed estimate on how much money would have to be spent and credible data to show probable percentage points the opinion needle would be moved by that.
My guess is if NRA spent its entire budget "we" would still lose in those demographics by a landslide. Putting a bandaid on a cancer patient and ignoring the real treatments needed means the prognosis will be terminal.

Jared Bell, the Nickelodeon star who played Drake in the TV show “Drake and Josh,” pleaded guilty during his pretrial hearing Wednesday to crimes involving a 15-year-old girl while he visited Cleveland. [More]
Look at the "culture" he was immersed in.
Who is surprised that Nickelodeon's "Kids Choice Award" paid tribute to "March for Our Lives"?
