California Dreaming

Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday signed six gun-control bills into law, including a requirement that ammunition purchasers undergo background checks. [More]

Now take a look at the "fundamental transformation" that has taken place with the majority electorate, ensuring Democrats have free rein and free reign.

Guess what's being set up to happen in the rest of the Republic?

Thank goodness that has nothing to do with that "single issue," right, NRA?  Right, SAF/CCRKBA? Right, Grover and Ted? Right, deliberately indifferent and/or disparaging of the concept "gunbloggers"?

I know, nobody wants to hear it. We've seen that before:

In the Navy

“And, for those bases, for Navy bases particularly, it’s a really real risk,” Whitehouse said. “They’re on the sea. Sea level rise is going to swamp what they do. It’s really practical. So, when people hear it from as trusted a source as a uniformed military officer it will make a big difference, and they have not been very forward about it from the uniform side of the military. DOD has been good. Mabus has been the best.” [More]

Interesting coincidence.

This will fit in swell with some older traditions...

Impending House Gun Votes are Deplorable Concessions by Republicans to Gun-grabbers

Find the turkey...

Define “due process.” Is it being charged, tried in accordance with laws respecting rights, and found guilty before being denied a fundamental right?

All he said was the portions were niggardly.

Then again:

The police and schools were also advised that they should report "just about every incident" to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency, Carey said.

Yeah, you never know when the official advice of "See something, say something" will result in scornful "progressive" attacks on the reputation of the reporter and an invitation to the White House for those who are more equal than others.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving?

One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.” ... ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch. [More]

I wonder why. I wonder if it's connected to Gunwalker. And I wonder if the Republican majority Congress is going to continue accepting stonewalling so that "independents" have to do all the uncovering.

What else would you call an email blast and site link to post a Faux News video gushing favorably over the NRA/Cornyn Due Process Suspension Act without defining the dangerous secret "due process" disconnect (start at 1:23 in video)? [More]

We don't need ANY new "gun control." Not only doesn't it work, it still ends up scapegoating gun availability and ignores the inconvenient reality that anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian. If there are terrorists in this country, look at how they got here and are still getting in here.

That, of course, would require taking Islamophile/Bloomberg immigration pal Grover Norquist to task, and the new JPFO head honcho, along with the "it's not the single issue" faction has no interest in admitting that -- for transparent reasons that do nothing to refute the "pathway to citizenship" threat argument.

Hawaii’s Gun Owner Registration Reporting Edict Fundamental to Enabling Confiscation

Gun owners basically have two options when confronted with such edicts: Capitulate and surrender, or become part of the “I will not comply” paradigm and be destroyed if caught (raising a third option for those who will not accept that outcome). [More]

Can't you just see this spreading to Everytown?

The Trojan Horse Argument

Unless someone is a proven threat to themselves or others, they should not be denied their fundamental rights.  If they ARE a proven threat, they should be locked away.  [More]

If you're a Nevada gun owner and you're not part of this fight, you're a parasite. If you're on Bloomberg's side, you're an @$$hole parasite.

That's not ad hominem. It simply is what is.

Top Pick?

Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions is reportedly GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s top choice for a running mate, with less than a month to go until the Republican National Convention. [More]

He's got an "A' from GOA and an "A+" from Numbers USA.

I think he's as good a choice as can be expected. That said, I'd be remiss not to include some reminders from Mike on why even the "best" in that pool need to be watched and occasionally have to be warned about expected conduct.

But then, that applies to any politician.

We will Control the Vertical. We will Control the Horizontal.

Exclusive: Google, Facebook quietly move toward automatic blocking of extremist videos [More]

And they, of course, get to be the arbiters of what's "extreme."

We saw two examples hitting close to home, this and this, just in the past few days.

I guess "progressives" are all for enforcing anti-trust edicts unless they're the ones benefiting from the collusion.

[T]ickets are going from $2,700 to $100,000 a pop (for event co-chairs) ... Presumptive nominee Clinton will be in attendance for the fundraiser [More]

Ah yes, Hillary, the candidate of the "underserved."

These are the same @$$holes who "performed" without muskets to protest Orlando.

“Make sure he loses. Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House,” Will said during an interview after his speech at a Federalist Society luncheon. [More]

Yeah, besides, what could a reconstituted Supreme Court possibly do to us? Not to mention tens of millions or more new "citizens"?

I've come to the conclusion that, status as a "conservative" thought leader notwithstanding, Peabody's boy Sherman here really is a dolt. And one whose usefulness at helping establishment media pretend it presents "opposing views" is self-destructing...

Flight Reaction

Under the Obama administration’s expansive interpretation of executive authority,  legal immigrants seeking citizenship through the nation’s Naturalization process are now exempt from a key part of the Oath of Allegiance. Immigrants seeking to become citizens no longer have to pledge to “bear arms on behalf of the United States.” They can opt out of that part of the Oath. Nor do they have to cite any specific religious belief that forbids them to perform military service.  [More]

You don't say.

You CAN Still Make a Difference

You have shown the power of a grassroots organization.  As you know there are a number of attacks on your rights that are "in-play" now and coming in the next Florida legislative session.  We will need your more than ever in coming months.  STAND READY to defend our rights! [More]

My question: How come a hundred times more objections weren't sent?

Are you a Florida gun owner?

Are you a member of Florida Carry?

If not, why not? Do you think it's fair to expect others to always do the heavy lifting?

Yeah, I know, "Molon labe."

Hey, they just proved less destructive change still is possible if enough people band together and actually do something beyond anonymous comment bravado that costs nothing. Besides, why would anybody expect someone who won't even lift a finger to do the easy stuff now to answer the call for untold, extended and horror-filled risks, hardships and sacrifices?
