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?

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.

Drive-By Democracy

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...

Elimination and Reduction

The first step to doing that is establishing a monopoly of violence. National socialists are old hands at that. [More]

Congressional Fast and Furious inquiry letter falls short, lacks teeth

And while the names of ATF personnel listed on the letter are appropriate ones for further investigation, there is another government employee who doesn't work for ATF, but who nonetheless had a documented involvement in Fast and Furious fallout that has never been satisfactorily explained. Curiously, at least for those of us interested in knowing more, all lines of inquiry on his involvement dead end directly into the White House: Kevin O’Reilly. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes the latest Congressional kabuki theater act needs to do a more convincing job of masquerading as a believable investigation.

You'll Suck It and Like It!

It can't be "rapism" if disempowered minorities do it to you. [More]

You got a purty mouth. Now bend over, hater. Time to learn you some tolerance and diversity.

I notice Bruni is leaving the mosques alone...?

Anger Management

Almost one in 10 Americans has a history of impulsive and angry behavior and ready access to guns, new research indicates. [More]

Yeah, what the hell -- why not lump me 'n you in with all the problem people? Any similarities being shared with any statistical significance by the "one"? I mean, how much difference can there be between your house and a crack house? By the way, does "American" mean they just happen to be here? And they're all "owners" in the "lawful claim to property" sense of the term, right?

Doesn't matter. It gives the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists at cBS"News" something to rub their nipples over.

Funny thing though -- with record numbers of guns owned, if this were true you'd think the rage shootings would be numbering in the millions by now instead of, you know, dropping.

Far be it from me to call Jeffrey Swanson a "progressive" agenda hack instead of a serious scientist or anything, especially when there are much more creative (and fun) pejoratives I could use...

Your Fair Share

Thanks to you it works! [More]

About That NRA Gun Ban

True, morons who think they've found a "Gotcha!" have no idea how display guns are secured, and it's always instructive to see how many other lemmings follow them over the cliff. [More]

That doesn't alter this.
