Convergence of Crises Demands Oath Keepers Show Leadership by Example

Distracting from the real issues and onto “menacing” guns, “progressive” policies responsible for the breakdown of the Republic get a pass, and control is strengthened. That’s something Barack Obama understands, as he exploits the Dallas murders to lay the blame on “people armed with powerful weapons.” It’s something Hillary Clinton understands as well, as she pronounces “white people” to be the catalyst for the carnage. [More]
According to our Democrat "leaders," if we'd only address white privilege and do something about "powerful" guns, we'd all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up and eatin' that rainbow stew.

Good Luck with That

California actually has a legal process to recall tyrannical politicians. [More]
Tell me abut it. My friend Russ Howard led the "Recall Roberti" effort, and we see what it got him.

Forget about getting enough people to lift a finger to do a recall -- which by the way requires serious, consuming commitments in money and manpower --   I'm still waiting for enough to come forward to help out a guy who gave them his all. His was one of the three case studies that inspired the "Profiles in Apathy" concept.

Plenty of anonymous bloviators are willing to bellow "Molon Labe!" in comments.  Count on them to do anything else and the chance of positive action goes down exponentially, especially if money is involved -- hell, how many times have I asked for readers to send Vanderboegh a gratitude offering for value received, and guess what.

I saw an interesting stat on a social media site I monitor -- for the week thus far it has almost 700,00 "post reach" hits, almost 100,000 "post engage" hits, and 19 "website clicks." That's all the people who thought it might be in their interest to learn what posts were about before making up their minds. All the squabbling commenters were making noises about posts they hadn't even read based on the post title, and were basically just weighing in as an excuse to bray fixed opinions at each other, or to change the subject altogether and go distractedly chasing off in another direction.

Forgive me if I'm cynical. Not even being able to get 99.9% of site visitors to share links for stuff they're not getting anywhere else can do that.

And as for CRPA leading the charge, please -- don't hold you breath. Say, didn't Arnhole first get in following a recall...?

There's a reason we see this happening in California.  But those of us explaining that reason are either ignored or subjected to the logically indefensible "single issue" cop-out.

You do have to wonder if someone won't even send an email or share a link how much prolonged sacrifice and risk they're actually prepared to endure. And as for the growing consensus that politics won't work, how many through personal detachment made that a self-fulfilling prophecy?

When everything breaks down, there will be plenty of blame to go around.

So Come on Down to Quisling Guns in Everytown

Midstate Gun in Providence is A-OK with its spokeskapos disparaging right to keep and bear arms advocates and even wanting to vote three times for Obama. They're evidently convinced Polyphemus will eat them last or something, or maybe not at all if they keep pleasing him. [More]

You can read more from a "journalist" who's pleased he didn't have to deal with "stereotypes" and "NRA extremists."

That must be why he's seemingly unconcerned that Midstate provides the same guns as other stores that don't share "progressive" ideologies. Looking through their website, what comes to mind is wondering if any of the arms and ammunition manufacturers who supply them would care to take the Ronnie Barrett approach and cease product shipments.

It would appear any Rhode Island gun owner who patronizes Midstate is giving aid and comfort that those who actually support their interests could put to better use.

Not that the RI Gun Prags want to hear any of that.  If that's the extent of leadership and rights advocacy, no wonder the state is such a mess.

Who Dares Question?

What that means is that any private citizen, any reporter, or any media outlet that even requests for information related to the Orlando Massacre can have their identities turned over to the FBI.  The implications of having local officials serve as the stifling arm of oppression by an investigative arm of the federal government is chilling. [More]
Yeah, I mean, seeing as how this has been the latest the catalyst for a new "bipartisan" citizen disarmament feeding frenzy, why is knowing what actually happened -- and how -- important, anyway?

Y'know, if we just stopped questioning everything, accepted what we're told and got back to all the trivial distractions that are there to keep us occupied, there'd be a lot less need for official warnings and retaliations.

‘Reckless’ Excuse Good Enough for Hillary to Skate but Not for Gun Owners

Whereas Hillary can skate on perceived reckless conduct when Comey himself acknowledges it is “a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way,” gun owners also deemed guilty of recklessness now face a “terrifying new precedent,” per a Conservative Review analysis of the Supreme Court’s 6 -2 decision in the Voisine case.
