Another 'Single Issue' Tie-In

 In the comments, GOA and GOF wrote, “The federal government possesses only the few and limited powers set out in the U.S. Constitution. None of those powers give the federal government a general police power to order mandatory vaccines. The federal government has no other source of authority, such as the commerce power, to command health decisions by Americans.” The comments continued to argue that, “if the OSHA vaccine mandate regulations were to be upheld, it could readily open the door to the federal government infringing the rights of Americans in many other areas of their lives, including their right to keep and bear arms, which is why GOA and GOF have a particular interest in these proposed regulations.”  [More]

Vaccines and guns? But...but...but "single issue"...

Now do one for "immigration." And score the votes. And let us know why. Like Larry promised (@45:00 into the conversation):

“Well the answer you're going to get from us at Gun Owners of America is ‘Absolutely should be part of the scoring,' and it's something that we plan on including in our rating of Congress this and next year, because, as we've already discussed,  if we don't block this amnesty move — now — before we get 5 … 8 million previously illegal aliens now voting, 85% of whom are, they tell pollsters, gonna vote for anti-gun Democrats, that's the ball game. That's it. We lose our Second Amendment, doesn't matter whether it's still in the Constitution in writing or not, the National Archives can't protect it from this kind of assault. Seems pretty unequivocal. Seems pretty correct.”

  1. The "single issue" excuse has always been associated with the NRA. Has GOA ever used it, really?

  2. Right out of the text used in the John Ross 'Jock' Ewing Sr. rules for government:

    "Well, let me tell you somethin' boy, if I did give you power, you've got nothin'! Nobody gives you power. Real power is something you TAKE!"
