Sounds Like Someone To Target for Defeat

Committee Chairman Senator Diaz de la Portilla... [More]

What, this guy?

Once a dog turns on humans, you have to get rid of it.

It doesn't matter if a Democrat wins his seat next time, because the greater danger is having the Republicans know they can pull this crap and get away with it -- supporting them in spite of betrayals only encourages more, and gives them no incentive to toe the line, out of self-preservation if not out of principle. If they don't want a Democrat to win, it's up to them to field a candidate worth supporting.

If I were a Florida gun owner, the only way I'd let this guy save himself is if he immediately apologized for the hold-up and assumed the role of vocal champion. That goes for Gardiner, too.

It Doesn't Say "Shall Not Be Infringed Except..."

“My understanding is that RMGO is actually preventing 30-round magazines from becoming legal. For them, it’s all or nothing.” [More]

Seeing as how patriots are just ignoring your stupid edicts, what's wrong with that?  Why should anyone with the power to say "No" compromise with a damned rapist?

GoFundMe rejects campaign for officer who fatally shot Walter Scott [More]

"Although he may have made mis-steps in judgement he was protecting the community"?

The Stupid is Strong in This One

Yes, "Stand Your Ground," voter ID and redistricting are responsible for an "Only Ones" executing a man. [More]

The connections are so clear once you point them out -- why didn't we see this before?

So naturally this genius is a big monopoly of violence enthusiast.

Yeah, you have to put reality on hold, but it's kind of funny, too... [Watch]

An Over-Regulated Militia

Most people are still looking to NATO's military umbrella as their main guarantor of security. [More]

Big mistake.

Unfortunately, this gets in the way of the best guarantor for the security of a free State, and "most people" are ignorant enough to prefer things that way.

Unintended Consequences

Democrats have given Hispanics every entitlement government can give them. All they asked for in return is for Hispanics to support the Chicago Democrat machine candidates. But in a stunning, unprecedented act of rebellion, Chicago Hispanics voted for their own mayoral candidate, Jesus Garcia. Garcia’s showing surprised the once all-powerful Democrat machine, a machine that has ruled Chicago politics for over eighty years. [More]

That still doesn't work out in favor of gun owners, but at least we get to see some Prozis eating their own.

ATF classification compromise to redefine sporting use, ban certain ammo imports

ATF, in conjunction with certain members of Congress and lobbying interests, is working at “tweaking” its definition of the arbitrary “sporting use” term, insider sources tell Gun Rights Examiner. And with that will come a push to expand definitions to allow for further importation bans on certain types of presently legal ammunition. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner exclusive is the culmination of something I've been working on for the past week with insiders who have excellent track records as reliable sources. There is more, but I can't get more specific without unnecessarily compromising some people. Hopefully, this will push others to use their resources to confirm and elaborate.

It will be interesting to see if any attempts are made to suppress Mike.

If Wishes Were Fishes We'd All Cast Nets

Responsible Americans don't gamble the survival of the USA on some happy-meal, wish-upon-a-star theory that those overwhelming percentages will somehow magically reverse themselves if only Republicans "reach out" better ... What kind of delusional a-wipes bet not only their entire farm but YOURS and all their fellow citizens' entire farms on that sort of fairy tale thinking? [More]

This comment under yesterday's GRE column is an important standalone piece worthy of attention and sharing, as are so many of frequent comment poster Carlos Perdue's other observations. I wish he'd start a blog or some such so his posts would get more exposure instead of being buried in discussion threads.

Key gun rights questions likely to go unasked at NRA meeting

There's a chance to do something significant to alter the most likely outcome now, this weekend in Nashville. Chances are, though, no one of import in the gun community will put it to the members, or even allow it to be brought up. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes an opportunity that will be intentionally lost. Who wants to bet otherwise, and how much?

Talk about something I'd love to lose my shirt over. You can increase your chances of winning by taking a few seconds max to retweet this.

So It's Not About Safety or Principle

It's about power.  Getting it and then keeping it. [More]

Thanks for reaffirming that, Joe.

Calling for a Miracle

Unfortunately, that's what it would take for this to happen. [More]

That such an admission is obvious says much about how the Church has been compromised by "progressive" secularism.  Curious: the same political faction that embraces "gun control" abhors Christianity and holds it in contempt. That seems not to have occurred to the leadership -- either that or an embedded faction has undue insider influence on the leadership.

Unfinished Business

Obama ‘hasn't given up on gun control’ [More]

Enabled by compromised Republicans who control both houses of Congress yet refuse to defund the SOB's executive infringements.

Aww g'won.  All the Alinskyite Prozis have been ridiculing that old hysterical "conservative" bugaboo for years.  Next you're going to be telling us the ones who mock that "No one wants to take your guns" are being less than candid.

Besides, what kind of minority-disenfranchising hater would require government IDs?

This Day in History: April 9

Should it please Your Excellency We here humbly present this Petition Sincerely Requesting that it might be conveyed to Congress—The Contents of Our petition is—That We the Above petitioners May be Exempted from the heavy Taxes which will Unavoidably Oppress Us after We are Discharged from the Army, It is well known we have been long Contending for the Rights and Libertys of Our Country, and Fellow Citizens And have been equal sufferers with Our Officers; Which we sincerely Hope May be took into consideration, And by the Influence of Your Excellency in Congress, We flatter ourselves that we shall have this request and Favour granted Us Which will in a Measure Make Us happy...
