Starve 'em Out

State Legislatures Can Pressure Banks To Cut Ties With The Firearms Industry [More]
Yep, buying and selling will require certain loyalties...

Interesting where this appears...

Hey, remember when Steve Forbes was telling us what a pal he was? (Sorry, the NRA video "Steve Forbes - a New President to Put Forward a PositiveProgram" is no longer available nor archived.)

If Ye Love Wealth...

Republican ex-mayor of New York City Rudolph Giuliani won backing for his 2008 presidential bid from billionaire publisher Steve Forbes, who will also help lead his campaign, Giuliani's team said.

Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes Magazine which publishes an annual list of the world's richest people, will act as co-chair on the national campaign and as senior policy advisor to Giuliani, who is favorite to win his party's nomination for the presidency early next year.

Sorry, Steve. Back when you were campaigning, you touted yourself as a friend of gun owners.

You've just shown us you consider us unimportant and expendable if abandoning us will help advance your true priorities.

It's a false alternative, people. We don't need to choose between between guns or the economy. Prosperity comes from freedom. It always has.

You Can Stop the Signal?

“On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare” [More]
Oops:
Forbes has censored my article. I have reposted it here...
Remember when Forbes Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes was trying to con gun owners into thinking he was our pal? And can anyone figure out why the "single-issue" NRA mouthpiece asked him about everything but the right to keep and bear arms?

A Taxing Proposition

The instances of a single individual accumulating many weapons could be reduced by making the first purchase of a gun tax free and then imposing an incremental tax on subsequent purchases. However, the increase would have to be substantial, perhaps in increments of 10 percent per weapon. Under such an approach, by the time a buyer reaches a certain number of purchases, the amount of tax could potentially reach at least one-half of the firearm’s value. [More]

Nope, no incentive for creating a violent black market run by cartels there...

Theoretical eggheads like this never were that tuned into real-world ointment flies.

Hey, remember when Steve Forbes told gun owners he was a pal they could count on?

Killer Instinct

A soulful piano ballad channeling Springsteenian 1980s power rock, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers tackles President Donald Trump's border wall, mass incarceration and gun violence by anchoring each stance with singing "...in the land of the free." [More]
Remember when editor-in-chief Steve Forbes was running for president and wanted us to believe he was our pal?

Nice to see NRATV totally avoid that "single issue" while sucking up to the guy who ultimately approves such subversive paeans. I especially like the "Help Save the 2nd - Donate Now" header.

Speaking of Propaganda

White Supremacist Propaganda Efforts Nearly Doubled In 2020 [More]

Talk about utterly meaningless numbers.

Forbes, eh? Content to be narrative amplifiers for the "racists" at the ADL?

Remember when Steve wanted us to think he was one of us and the "single-issue" NRA mouthpiece asked him about everything but the right to keep and bear arms?
