Gun Owner New Year’s Resolutions Can Help Increase Involvement and Effectiveness

I’m going to share some of them again here, in no particular order, in the hopes that one or more of them will apply to the particular talents, interests, and/or inclinations of everyone reading them. [More]

Feel free to add your own– just be sure to DO them. And Happy New Year.

Columbus Prepares to Pass Gun Control Laws

Columbus leaders are making the argument that despite Ohio’s preemption law and despite a judge’s “stay” order in their lawsuit against the state, they have the right to pass certain gun control laws. [More]

It’s not like it’s their money they’re spending. The same can’t be said for anyone opposing them, and that’s part of the plan.

Far from the Madding Crowd

A New York Times analysis of more than 700 armed demonstrations found that, at about 77 percent of them, people openly carrying guns represented right-wing views, such as opposition to L.G.B.T.Q. rights and abortion access, hostility to racial justice rallies and support for former President Donald J. Trump’s lie of winning the 2020 election. [More]

As long as they’re going to bring up lies, just calling questioning the election “baseless” does not make it so, nor do demands to impose coercive Marxist wealth redistribution equate with racial justice.

I’d argue going unarmed anywhere you know violent communists are going to be is not prudent. Then again, I’d also argue for being very selective about joining public displays and the part you choose to play in this era of embedded provocateurs and seditious conspiracy trials…

I’ve been a speaker and observer over the decades. Ours wasn’t the side frothing with “hostility.” Another lesson learned: You don’t do yourself any favors or advance any issues by becoming a victim or a patsy.

Oath Keepers: Targeted Red

I received a lot of phone calls from news agencies in the summer of 2001 after the People went to visit their Capitol on January 6. I decided to write a book that would not be subject to Internet deletion or MSM spin. It took me over a year, which explains my lengthy silence — I was immersed in it! Now it’s published, almost 600 pages on paper. [More]

Oath Keepers founding member Elias Alias shares insider information we won’t find anywhere else.

A Star is Born?

Kyle Rittenhouse launches YouTube channel for ‘great content’ on GUNS and the Second Amendment as the 19-year-old Kenosha shooter notches up thousands of subscribers in just hours [More]

Except for wondering why he chose YouTube instead of a non-hostile alternative, I’ll reserve judgment. Lemme see what he actually knows and understands first.

This is No Drill

Should advocates push for strong legislation when we know it does not have the votes to pass Congress, let alone override a president’s veto? [More]

I get their reasoning for doing so. My problem with OVERDOING it is that it comes off like phony pandering and shifts focus and resources off immediate priorities. Lather, rinse, repeat for gun-grab bills that have no chance but send everybody screaming that the sky is falling. Then we see the mansplainin’ YouTubers gushing about how HUGE it is, and when nothing comes to pass we’ve got yet another Boy Who Cried Wolf scenario, so that if something we should be paying attention to sneaks in everybody’s jaded and burned-out.

So, yeah, I see their reasoning. I also see mine.

To the Letter

Democrats press anti-gun policies [More]

Efforts such as this are vitally necessary to getting the word out and using the DSM’s resources to do it. I actually started writing on 2A issues after having my first two attempts published on the same day in two different papers, one being The Los Angeles Times, the other the South Bay’s The Daily Breeze. After seeing my stuff regularly getting selected, I decided to give advocacy writing a try.

I encourage anyone so inclined to try. The only advice I can give to increase your chances of getting published is: don’t try to cram too much in, avoid name-calling, stick to facts, and don’t exceed suggested word limits.

Attn: Arizona Republicans

Eric Spencer, election attorney, will be running the GOP’s “War Room” on election day (Nov 8). He needs attorneys roving on the ground (troubleshooting calls for legal assistance at polling places) and in the war room (helping to answer calls/emails and troubleshooting legal issues). [More]

This is one of the most crucial election states. This latest edition of “Republican Briefs” has info activists need to be aware of.
