Remember When They Used to Be the Gold Standard in 'Gun Rights'?

Via Facebook Messenger, from Bob DePino, Vice President, Gun Owners of Vermont:

Vermont is poised to become Northern Massachusetts this coming year. The November election did not fare well for firearm rights in Vermont. Come January, we will have very few supporters of the Constitutional Right to bear arms under Article 16th in Montpelier.

2018 was the first time in the history of Vermont that truly unconstitutional firearms laws have been passed through the legislature and signed into law (Act 94).

In response, the Gun Owners of Vermont filed a lawsuit in August. Now, we need to win against these anti-self-defense laws in court.

The Attorney General's office has filed this reply to our initial complaint:

We need to raise approximately $30,000 to cover legal expenses. For donations by Check or Money Order, please make them payable to:

Gun Owners of Vermont Legal Defense Fund

P.O. Box 45

Saxtons River, VT 05154

Ethan Allen is turning over in his grave (and no thanks to "Republican" Governor Phil Scott). Help if you can. At the very least, spread the word.

Another 'Stay-at-Home' Mom

With a million-plus dollar budget...

Remind you of anyone?

How about her?

So her Liberal Women of Chesterfield County use a proxy and  "partner" with the Chesterfield County Democratic Committee?

Grassroots moms did it.

Hey, you don't expect Scott Israel to give up a lucrative gig with all those perks and loyalty guarantees, do you?

Just Following "Commonsense Gun Safety" Recommendations

He was able to extract the pistol from the holster. He had time to shoot. He could not make the pistol fire. [More]

But doctors instruct us to keep ammunition separate ... and they're a lot better educated than us about everything, right?

We Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Gun crime rises in Canada ...This has far more to do with immigration policy than it does with gun control. [More]

I'd argue they're both major factors. Not that the grabbers won't blame "lax American gun laws"...

Hey, maybe they can sue us in "International Court"...

In Your FACE, Shannon, Gabby, Hogglet and Commie Teachers' Unions

The Shape of Things to Come

Lame Duck: House must pass immigration legislation now! [More]

Who thinks it will?

If it did, who thinks quislings in the Senate wouldn't derail it?

And if they didn't, who thinks some federal judge wouldn't "rule" it unconstitutonal?

Sorry to sound negative. Especially since I agree with the premise and the predictions.

"Profiles in apathy" produce predictable results. Those who didn't lift a finger for all the years this was developing before our eyes share their part in helping make  "We're not voting our way out of this" a self-fulfilling prohecy.

I do wonder how many Moldy Labias who have done nothing else but comment anonymously about how ready to engage they are will turn 'em in for three hots and a cot at the FEMA camp.

But what the hell do I know, being a "boomercuck"?

So why would they get a nickel from you?

I do like how virtue-oozing one-percenters get no respect from the commies. Do they really think the tumbrils won't come for them, and that they'll wish they had plenty of guns when it's too late?

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving – we’re having our traditional house full with a twist—our oven crapped out, the store warehouse screwed up delivery of the replacement and the installers now can’t make it ‘til Friday. I ordered a cooked meal with all the trimmings from the local supermarket, meaning I need to reheat the turkey on my barbecue grill in @25° weather.

It’ll give me an excuse to light a cigar and pour a couple fingers of the good stuff.

We're the Only Ones Interpretive Enough

What that means, though, has varying interpretations. And whether you get arrested on the charge could depend on which police agency stops you. [More]

I guess ignorance of the law is no excuse. If they don't know it, how the hell are we supposed to?

And they can employ the full continuum of force up to and including killing us to make their interpretation prevail?

The Man Who Would Be God

I’ve listened to the people at 40 town halls across America in the past year, and it’s become clear to me that we need a new set of 5 RIGHTS — 5 essential protections that can never be taken away by any politician...1. The Right to an Equal Vote2. The Right to Clean Air & Clean Water3. The Right to Learn4. The Right to a Living Wage5. The Right to Health [More]

So rights are bestowed by benevolent despots? He can just do this by edict, because "democracy"? And you have a right to compulsory services from others?

Isn't there an Opposite Day "progressive" slogan for that?

Just the Facts

Why do I find working for the Chicago Housing Authority every bit -- if not more significant -- than his having a concealed carry permit? [More]

Ditto on Play Misti for Me not exactly fitting the "right wing extremist gun nut" profile, although "Milwaukee Don" says more facts are yet to emerge.

Not that it will stop the "Concealed Carry Killers" crowd from pointing to these anomalies as examples of why you can't be trusted...

Slide into Madness

"Even though it was closed, the plaintiffs were easily able to move the unsecured gate at the entrance to the Pipeline Slide and climb the stairs to the top of the slide," claims the lawsuit. "Without any employees present to instruct them, the plaintiffs were not aware that they needed to have the slide sprayed with water, nor did they know that they needed a burlap sack to safely go down the side." [More]

So they deserve what, aside from injuries sustained?

On the plus side, have I got a lawyer for them.

With Republicans Like These

Speaking Thursday at the National Immigration Forum event "Leading the Way: An American Approach to Immigration," Lankford said lawmakers can find things to agree on, like granting citizenship to those brought into the U.S. illegally as children ... But for those who have been here legally present for 20, 25 years, those folks should have access to be naturalized and to be a part of our culture and be able to be here"...  [More]

I don't agree.

What won't these appeasers sell us out on?
