We have to continue actively winning the culture, and that includes defeating the dozen or so states that have AWBs or will soon. [More]
How, are you going to outvote the grabbers in blue states when you refuse to look at their “pathway to citizenship” strategy for increasing their numbers?
“New”?
Almost nine years ago, I wrote:
All credible polls show such populations buck the trend and favor gun restrictions by an overwhelming (71% to 25%) margin, as does the California experience. Further, after over 20 years the needle barely moves to the right.
Five years later, the most current study I have a link for, Pew Research says:
More than seven-in-ten Latinos (73%) say it is more important to control gun ownership than to protect the right of Americans to own guns, greater than the 52% of U.S. adults overall who say the same.
Looks like the needle moved to the left.
Oh, but those aren’t just new immigrants, they include established residents and citizens…? That kind of takes the wind out of the “wait for them to assimilate” argument.
That isn’t true, especially for their children and grandchildren.
Prove it. Got numbers? Because right now we’re dealing with almost 30 years of losing ground with no reversal in sight– nor is there any cohesive plan to win hearts and minds, because the gun groups ignore the issue.
[O]verperformance with hispanic voters is a big reason why President Trump made his improbable return to power. They are also a hugely growing demographic in the 2A space, especially here in California.
There’s some problematic trending going on for that in Texas right now. And if we’re talking California, show us some numbers, how they compare with the whole, what efforts by the Second Amendment community can be credited for, and what year you anticipate a vote still won’t be a landslide against 2A.
I’m challenging your claim. Come back with something that makes sense or admit you just made that up. Because reality looks more like this:
Then there’s this:
My parents are Greek immigrants. Aside from some hunting culture, Greece is, sadly, in no way a pro-gun country, at least not these days. Yet it took one generation for their kid to be a 2A attorney.
I don’t know what the laughing with tears emoji is for. We don’t have a generation. We have midterms coming up and ’28 is right around the corner. If the Dems take it, it’ll be their SCOTUS and game over for peaceable resolution. In one generation that’ll be ancient history.
Besides which, my challenge, which all critics have scrupulously avoided taking me up on, specifically excludes isolated, anecdotal examples. We’re back to the needle not moving and no cohesive plan led by deliberately indifferent gun groups to change that, with the ones that have been offered so far a were drop in the bucket that is drowned out by the overwhelming influence of immigrant’s political and media influencers and the overwhelmingly anti-gun “mainstream press.”
These “smarter than me” guys are gonna be the death of us.
