Muster Call

Your NRA-ILA Campaign Field Representative is recruiting volunteers to:  register voters, make phone calls, knock on doors, generate letters to the editor, distribute candidate information, attend events and turn out the pro-gun vote on Election Day. [More]
Lt. Col. Robert K. Brown, NRA Director and Publisher, Soldier of Fortune, called me last night about this effort, to sound me out and solicit inputs. It's no secret I have my differences with Fairfax  -- in this case, if the effort is to keep Hillary from getting to remake the Supreme Court, I can put those aside.

In terms of lesser offices, I'd make sure candidates I worked for could pass muster themselves in terms of complete support for that "single issue,"

If you've never done any of the above activities, I've always had fun participating, and you meet some good people. As an aside, if gun owners won't show up to do this, what are the chances they'd answer a call requiring hardship and sacrifice?

The Right Consistency

I have consistently fought against foreign and domestic threats to the liberties we enjoy as Americans. Ballot Initiative One is one of those threats. [More]
Kudos to Nevada Assemblyman John Ellison.

Dance, Puppets, Dance!

The test consisted of six large balloons popping consecutively, followed by a fire alarm.  This caused people to go into panic mode and run. [More]
Next we're going to ring a bell and get them to salivate.

Mexico Repeats Call for U.S. Gun Ban while Ignoring the Obvious

Note Massieu’s call for U.S. citizen disarmament acknowledged neither Operation Fast and Furious “gunwalking” nor the porous border. [More]
What difference does it make if the enemy who wants you disarmed is foreign or domestic?

'Progressive' Religion

Thanks, U.S. bishops!

Under your leadership, we've gone from this to Nun-Free Zones.

Machine Gun Madness

Any bets it was really a semi-auto?

The Cajun Army

Stewart Rhodes puts out a call to action to help flood victims in Louisiana, in a tandem effort with the Cajun Navy. [More]

It's what Good Samaritans do, even if there are orders to stand down that shouldn't be obeyed.

Firearms Friday

I'll be joining Michael Dukes at 11:40 Eastern to talk about whatever the heck he wants to bring up. [Listen]

'A Car to Die For'

A rendezvous to make a late night car purchase goes bad when the seller's intent is to keep the cash and the car. [More]
This week on "Stop the Threat"...

Strange Bedfellows

A follow-on to this...

Anyone Who Can't Be Trusted with a Gun...

...can't be trusted with WD-40 and fishing tackle. [More]

In a Pickle


Tells me all I need to know about the guy right there... [Watch]

That it's a prop has no bearing on the example he's setting for millions, most of whom have probably never heard of Cooper.

If he invites Trump on, don't be surprised if the jar is rigged to not open.

Common Sense Freedom Safety Laws

“And we got more phone calls from people saying, ‘Wait a minute…there’s a machine gun coming down our parade. Can’t you stop it?’” said the mayor, “and I can’t.” [More]
Leave it to Opposite Day "progressives" to get all bent out of shape because they can't stop freedom celebrations at a freedom celebration.

Did you keep a log of all those calls, mayor?  How about sharing how many and from whom?

You Win Some, You Lose Some

A Cuyahoga County judge ruled that some of Cleveland's new gun control laws violate the state constitution, but left intact a controversial gun offender registry that drew the ire of gun-rights groups. [More]
Here's the ruling, courtesy of OFCC.

Of course what the gun-grabbers "won" won't make a lick of difference at stopping violence. I'm wondering at what point punitive actions are going to be taken against the in-your-face violations the city is committing.

University of Chicago to Incoming Freshmen: Don’t Expect ‘Safe Spaces’ Here [More]
Shoot, I could have told them that.

So Much for Licensing and Registering Assault Weapons

Police say a Comcast contract driver may have intentionally ran over Dewey Skidmore. [More]
Dang, and the driver had even gone through a thorough background check.

This may help explain why Comcast is anti-gun.

‘Standing Army’ Oath-Breakers Attack Civilian RKBA

We know the Founders feared a standing army, and that the military is supposed to be subordinate to civilian authority. We also know the attitudes of Chiarelli and some of his partners in civilian disarmament like Stanley McChrystal, David Petraeus and Wesley Clark give cause to still hold those fears.  It’s fair to ask what directives those now in charge won’t execute when so ordered by an administration sharing their disdain for an armed citizenry, and the non-optional mandate “shall not be infringed.” [More]
At one time, one of our most respected military leaders was a guy named Arnold.

We're the Only Ones Emphasizing Enough

Chief Flynn puts less emphasis on aggressive police action and more on community outreach and gun control. [More]
That's because he's an oath-breaking political appointee dependent on his masters to remain and advance at the trough. As such, he's owned, and thus committed to continuing down the same path that created the mess in the first place.
