Rathner Response Would Be More Respectful if It Didn’t Dismiss Objections to Norquist

Here’s the thing, Mr. Rathner, and you have to know this, which makes your “response” appear more disingenuous than “respectful”:  “Amnesty” with a “pathway to citizenship” represents nothing less than an existential threat to the Second Amendment. If Grover Norquist and his apologists continue giving NRA a pass to ignore it under a phony “single issue” excuse (which I just demonstrated is one of convenience, not consistency), you’re not going to have anything to “focus like a laser” on. And that’s in a matter of a decade or two. [More]

The apologists are deflecting, distracting, dismissing and ducking -- and doing everything but answering a straightforward request for proof.

Santilli Prosecution a Tyrannical Assault on Free Speech and Press

“While many people might disagree with statements made by those involved in the Malheur takeover, Americans have a fundamental right to freedom of speech,” the ACLU of Oregon declared in a position statement on charges against Santilli. “We can all agree that we should not hold members of the media or protesters in jail without bail simply because they have shocking or abhorrent views. These are principles that we must stand by, even when we disagree with the message of the speaker.” [More]

Love him or hate him, if the government gets away with its prosecution of Pete Santilli, freedom of expression and freedom of the press will be effectively quashed.

The Waterboy

It’s quite likely another candidate will emerge from New Hampshire, Norquist said. He noted that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich have each showed some strength in the state. Both Bush and Kasich have sat in the distant No. 2 spot in recent polls.

“Can somebody come up out of New Hampshire and make their case?” Norquist said. “It would have to be Christie, Bush or Kasich. There has to be a possibility for someone else to emerge in New Hampshire, just as Rubio emerged third in Iowa. [More]

Christie. Bush. Kasich.

Again, Norquist puts an anti-gun Democrat electorate first.

Tony Anderson: Researcher Par Excellence

Councilmember Tony Anderson said he Googled an organization known as Oath Keepers, which he said Shea is “significantly involved with.”

Wikipedia says Oath Keeper’s “is an American organization associated with the anti-government patriot movement. It encourages members – some of whom are current and former U.S. military and law enforcement officers, – not to obey orders which they believe would violate the United States Constitution.”

Anderson, a retired commander in the Port of Seattle Police Department, says he sees that affiliation as “very threatening” as being racist and biased against the federal government – “the Internet says you are an anti-government guy.” [More]

But, while benefiting “bad guys,” the bill would increase prison sentences for gun-owning veterans and seniors by 50% [section 105(a)(1)]. And gun technicians who put “how-to” gun information onto the Internet could face a 5-year MANDATORY MINIMUM PRISON SENTENCE [section 108].  And this is not to mention the fact that, when the bill causes violent crime to go through the ceiling, the inevitable consequence will be MORE GUN CONTROL.

Such a Deal

THE ZELMAN PARTISANS HAVE AN OFFER FOR TED NUGENT [More]

This whole sorry episode made me recall how Tom Gresham almost single-handedly spearheaded the generally (but not completely) accepted rehabilitation of Jim Zumbo, and to speculate that this could be another lemons into lemonade opportunity: Have a recognizable radio host moderate a dialog between Nugent and a Jewish RKBA/liberty leader and begin his process back into forgiveness, acceptability and good graces.

Thing is, it looks like he doesn't want to and is doubling down. His dismissal of JPFO's statement as "sad bullshit [from] failed followers" (of Aaron Zelman) make reconciliation there problematic. That pretty much leaves TZP -- perhaps they will succeed in getting a response to their outreach and establish a public dialog.

It does make it problematic for NRA, which takes political considerations most seriously.  The question in my mind is, will he take one for the team and not expect them to deal with a mess of his inartful making, or will he force them kick him out and strike back loudly all the way?

And before anybody gets all bent on my choice of post title and the stereotype implications, it comes from the very first comment on the piece over at the TZP site.

Different Views

From Hayden Brown, NRA Instructor, Kirbyville, MO:

The NRA Institute for Legislative Action is wrong in their assessment of House Bill 2057.

Tomorrow, the Missouri House Committee on Emerging Issues is scheduled to hear House Bill 2057.  Sponsored by state Representative Mike Bernskoetter (R-59), HB 2057 specifies that no additional fee beyond $100 may be charged to process concealed carry permit applications.  

Please do not support HB 2057.  Although it limits the application fee to $100, it adds late fees and penalties when renewing.  As you may be aware, Sheriffs across the state are backlogged with applications and renewals and adding late fees would discourage renewals.  Like poll taxes, increased renewal fees would harm those most in need, and least able to absorb the increase in cost.

House Bill 2057 is wrong for Missouri!

I'm sure the Fairfax Über Alles crowd will be quick to attack this the same way they're attacking GOA over its rejection of the McAwful deal. And for the record, I'm not completely on board with that group's offered rationale.

My concern with the GOA approach is it briefly touches on but doesn't emphasize a more fundamental "due process" issue. We see in the recent Fourth Circuit panel decision the danger of treating 2A as some sort of lesser or inferior right. 

Here's what should matter and what should be insisted on:

Has the person been convicted of a crime?  Did he have a jury trial where he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

That's what matters to me. I consider it more important than asking some usurper for permission to claim what I'm entitled to.
