A Perfect Storm?

Republicans worry that the NRA and two other groups that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines. [More]

Figures the Chamber of Commerce and Kochsucker cheap labor whores would. Add to that the TINVOWOOT crowd that is sick of being betrayed and may sit things out...

What a time to be alive.

Bloomberg’s Coronavirus Ad Fails to Note His Part in Clearing the Way for It

The takeaway here: Everyone who claims to be alarmed by the coronavirus, yet supports relaxation of admission standards to this country, is a hypocrite whose selfish actions, whether motivated by votes for Democrats or cheap labor for Chamber of Commerce Republicans, is making the threat worse. [More]

Looks like the only "universal background checks" they're interested in are those that further shift the balance of power in their favor...

With Friends Like These

 Republican Senators Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis will attend a Thursday “summit” meeting hosted by the “American Business Immigration Coalition,” a pro-amnesty group consisting of big business donors, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as the George Soros-funded United We Dream organization. [More]

Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!

Before Everybody Gets Too Excited...

Gun range owner who declared a ‘Muslim Free Zone’ will run for Arkansas governor [More]

I'm trying to see how this addresses cultural terraforming concerns:

I strongly support legal immigration and proudly welcome those legally in our state. 

How does that differ from the Grover/Bloomberg/Chamber of Commerce  cheap labor über alles platform? Without a total reset from Ted Kennedy's '65 treason, how will it keep "chain migration" with a "pathway to citizenship" from reshaping the balance of political power to Democrat/gun-grabber advantage?

I want to see that fleshed out. I hope more do, and let her know they expect some unequivocal commitments.

Full Disclosure

Democrats pushing legislation to require that groups airing political advertisements disclose their donors are trying to prevent the National Rifle Association and AFL-CIO from joining the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in opposing the measure. [More]

I don't get it--I know NRA fought "campaign finance reform," but then they turned around and endorsed one of its primary architects...twice now...

Some Housekeeping Items

As a rule, I don't spend a lot of time or space here at WarOnGuns on the "big stories," meaning stuff everyone else is talking about. I try, not always successfully, to focus more on unique things that don't get as much attention--or at least provide an original insight into things that are being widely discussed.

But I guess I should at least mention that Bloomberg's lawsuit against the gun industry has been dismissed. Now I'd like to see the same thing happen to judicial subversive Jack Weinstein.

That and NRA-ILA is asking for help with its war chest to fight a legal challenge spearheaded by the Florida Chamber of Commerce against the guns in vehicles bill. I found it encouraging that, in their email, they included Wal-Mart among the "anti-gun corporate giants."

'Capitalists' Holding Huge Rope Sale

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has posted two billboards in front of the White House which declare America was built by foreign ‘Dreamers,’ not by native-born Americans, who apparently have no place in the billboards or in America’s society. [More]

I guess they haven't given the "final revolution" much thought.

Maybe they've been sleeping?

Buyer's Remorse

 The Chamber of Commerce Launches Ad Targeting Democrats It Endorsed in 2020 [More]

Too late.

You rope-selling capitalists wanted cheap labor, you got cheap labor. And with the "pathway to citizenship" votes that will provide, well, guess who won't be needed before too long?

Say, anybody know what's ultimately in store for the bourgeoisie?

A Million Here, a Million There, Pretty Soon You're Talking Real Votes

Feeling G.O.P. Peril, Muslims Try to Get Out Vote [More]

Which means they'll vote overwhelmingly Democrat.  Which means, along with "pathway to citizenship" illegals, they'll enable anti-gun legislation and judicial appointments.

Right, Grover? Right, Ted? Right Glenn? Right, Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Reason, CATO, The Independence Institute, Red State...? Right, by default, NRA/"single issue" excuse-makers...?

THEY Did It!

It's not like establishment "Republicans" torpedoed any Tea Party candidates to make sure amnesty-enabling Chamber of Commerce picks remained at the controls, is it Grover?

A 2010 Eloi Award Finalist

New East Palo Alto license plate readers will run plates through crime databases [More]

Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce would like to hear why you will not be coming to East Palo Alto--not that you need this as an excuse.

But it's been done before:

"I'm all for it," said Tiburon resident Dorothy Larson. "I don't have any paranoia about (police) knowing when I'm coming and going. I don't know why
anybody would object to it."

Your cattle car awaits, cud-chewer.
