Cruz Control?

"Did GOA call you?" a friend asked last night. "You know, about the Cruz thing."

They were going to call people who signed up for their tele-town hall meeting so gun owners could ask questions of the candidate. Not only did I not get a call, which I'd like to attribute to more interested participation than they could accommodate, but I can't find any after-action reports, including entries on their Twitter/Facebook feeds, and their dedicated "town hall" site page gives a "404" message.

Likewise, Cruz's social media accounts are silent on this.

I'm going to try to get some answers. In the mean time, anybody know what happened?  Here's hoping the Prozis haven't scared candidates away with their "racism" lies.

The Lesser of Two Evils?

Pataki? [More]

Really?

But...but...but... court nominees!

What about 'em?

At least with a Dem, prags won't be able to delude themselves and talk others into thinking gun owners have anything other than a committed enemy in the White House.

This Day in History: May 28

As the war is now brought to a close and it is supposed the army will soon be disbanded it becomes my duty to complete the Maps we have compiled in such a manner as to make them answer the most general use. I presume a publication of them will be deemed indispensable towards giving the world that clear knowlege of the operations of a war, to which the present revolution and the establishment of a new empire is owing, which its importance and Justice to the merits of the principal actors in it may deserve.

If you're from Texas, make this today's Five-Minute Activism project. If you're not, make it your task to tell friends who are about this.

Let's Make a Deal!

Clem, who likes to promote himself as a friend to gun owners, sold his vote to the Speaker, and voted to impose the universal background check bill on gun owners. But he insisted that he’d extracted some concessions for his sell out. The “dash 9″ amendments appear to be the “great bargain” he struck. So what did Clem get? Under this amendment, not only could you lend a firearm to a friend to go hunting, but he could also have it while going to and from hunting! Wow. [More]

With friends like these, who needs enemas?

These self-appointed "negotiators" always offer chips that don't belong to them.

This is clearly someone who doesn't fit in with the new ethos.

It's Not Just About Guns

Anyone telegraphing not just his intentions but his moves that way, especially taking almost a full second for windup and delivery, would not only not get through on someone who knows what they're doing, but has left himself open for a multitude of crippling reflexive counter-attack options.

Don't rely exclusively on a gun.

I guess I'm just upset because they referred to a 63-year-old as "elderly."

I suppose they could say "All our Connecticut 'gun control' laws have absolutely no effect on that 'string of gun violence in Hartford over the past several weeks,' and us being the Only Ones trusted to keep and bear arms actually makes things more dangerous for everybody" but then again, that's not the line they're paid to parrot.

Nice to see these boys sensitive to a public interest not to stir the pot. Or should I say "private interests," since they're the ones who pay the price, while those at the trough use reactions to make the case for even more transfers of wealth?

Guess what turns the very same firearms into "assault rifles"?
