We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us

The key to all of this is the involvement of state association leaders, and the key to getting those leaders involved is your advocacy. This can only happen if large numbers of NRA members begin pushing the idea at their local gun clubs and directly petition their state associations. Begin by sharing this article with your gun-owning friends and the leadership of your local clubs, Friends of NRA committees, and state association leaders. Follow that with calls and emails asking those leaders to take immediate action. [More]

Ay, there’s the rub.

A common excuse for letting others carry the load and limiting involvement to anonymous comments of dissatisfaction is that unlike Democrat activists, “we” have jobs and families and don’t have time.

Personal experience tells me that’s just bullsh!+. I had demanding jobs and raised a family, and I still always made time to get involved in all kinds of advocacy and skill improvement/preparation activities while doing so.

Some of you have, too, but far too many in “our ranks” have not.

Take Action Now?

This brazen move toward confiscation of your firearms by the state must not be taken lightly. Act today to let the California Senate know just what you think of this attack on your liberty. [More]

Why? Do you want to give all those anti-gun Democrats in safe seats a good chuckle, or just burn out activist supporters on fruitless missions to nowhere?

It’s awful tough when you refuse to even consider the reason CA turned from Republican to unchallengeably Democrat. If gun groups hadn’t been deliberately indifferent to that for decades with their “single issue” evasion, they might not have to keep hitting up members for lawsuit money to fight edicts passed by Democrat-dominated legislatures that their disinterest ensured.

Granite Staters: Today’s Five-Minute Activism

HB1050 is a restriction on Second Amendment rights, creates precedents for further restrictive measures, and impacts individuals’ rights to self-defense without adequately addressing the underlying issues related to firearm misuse. It creates an sneaky avenue for so-called ‘red flag’ attempts and is a backdoor gun registry attempt. [More]

Show me a “commonsense gun safety law” that isn’t a fraudulent power grab proposed by self-serving traitors and backed by useful idiots.

Ask Republicans if they’re interested in keeping their majority. And I wouldn’t waste my time on these traitors.

Preserving the Past

[More]

The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine is conducting its annual fundraiser. As has been my practice, I donated again this year.

Here’s why. It’s also where my old Oath Keepers pieces reside.

Without someone doing this, torn-down statues are forgotten, history gets rewritten, and we’re doomed to repeat past horrors.

And yes, I’m aware of the criticism. My priorities take precedence for me.

If you share any of those priorities, I never ask anyone to do anything I don’t do myself.

And speaking for myself…

Newcomers

EXTREME CAUTION APPROPRIATE WHEN CONSIDERING SUPPORT OF A NEW “ADVOCACY” GROUP THAT APPEARED SUDDENLY IN TENNESSEE. [More]

I’ve dealt with Dorr entities in other states before, one case in point, Iowa.

I recommend assessing what groups say, what they accomplish, and how they spend their resources, then supporting those in line with your principles and goals.

If anyone has specifics they want to add to this, that’s why I have “Comments.”

A Woman’s Touch

DC Project – Women for Gun Rights [More]

Seems like a good idea to counter the Demanding Moms…

Anybody know who’s backing them? The website is registered through a proxy and they’re too new to show up on Guidestar.

I like to know who the hidden interests are, because when I see advice from ostensible major influencers like “Don’t reference the Constitution” on their “How to Talk About Guns, Safety, and Protecting the Civil Rights of All Americans” download — that and “Enforce the thousands of existing laws on the books” — my spider-sense starts tingling.

Ohio Prohibitionists Counting on Gun Owner Unawareness Over Issue 1

Issue 1 supporters can’t count on getting a fair shake in the media, which increasingly portrays them as “a basket of deplorables” (and that’s being nice). As usual, it’s up to them to educate themselves and spread the word. [More]

If you’re an Ohio gun voter, the only way this will pass is if you get involved and help make it pass.
