Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

What a mess! And this mess is because the NRA is so desperate for relevance that it chose to wing this effort without talking to knowledgeable people in Montana about the idea and effort. [More]

Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association exposes some heavy-handed blundering by the “800-pound gorilla” that failed to coordinate with the locals and account for the state constitution.

It’s not the first state group I’ve heard of with similar complaints. Now that they’re desperate to divert attention away from Wayne and the rubber stamp board and look like they’re doing something relevant, don’t be surprised to see more.

Half Empty or Half Full?

This week marks the halfway point in the 2023 legislative session. “Crossover” refers to the transfer of bills between the House of Representatives and the Senate. All House bills that have survived the committee process will now be considered by the Senate while all Senate bills that are still in play are headed to the House. Then the process starts all over again! [More]

Let’s hope support by gun owners isn’t half-hearted, especially with the swing to the Democrats in Arizona.

We’ll Always Find Reasons Not To

…if you cancel a card, your credit score takes a hit. So….don’t like the card’s policies? Don’t use that card, just retire it to the back of your wallet, or even shred it, but don’t cancel it. [More]

For what it’s worth, I had a card I never used and after a few years the credit card company canceled it.

The thought strikes that if this concern is enough to not even take a small action, what chance is there for larger actions when there’s a larger price to pay?

Gun violence in US and what the statistics tell us [More]

I think they mean what selectively presented statistics tell us. For instance, you’d think in any honest analysis of the issue, stuff like who’s doing the violence and where it’s being done would be a foremost concern, instead of, you know, being deliberately omitted.

There are plenty of false conclusions being implied, as well. Case in point, it looks like “gun rights” groups outspend the prohibitionists, and some “gun pundits” are considering that as proof that “we” are winning.

That ignores grassroots vs. Astroturf, and leaves the most important consideration unsaid: The grabbers don’t have to spend as much. The government, with virtually unlimited tax plunder, is carrying the lion’s share of the legal costs, and the media provides all the free publicity they want while ignoring or deliberately suppressing the truth, as evidenced by the second link, above.
