Present in Action

WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT reacts to a political solicitation email:

He was referring to this.

It’s always rewarding to find some do more than consume information and move on, and instead figure out creative ways to act on and apply what we talk about here. Perhaps this can be a catalyst for change.

UPDATE

Perhaps. Except it looks like the Loudon County Republicans instead decided to “unsubscribe” him from their email list instead of passing useful information on to Cao’s campaign:

If You’re So Inclined

On Saturday, September 24th from 1-4 pm, patriots will gather in Washington, D.C., at the corner of Constitution NW and First St NW, North of the Reflecting Pool, to stand united against the political persecution of the January 6th political prisoners. [More]

I was thinking of titling this “Calling All Provocateurs,” but don’t want to be seen as discouraging honest efforts.  That said, I’m staying away from politically-charged crowds these days, especially ones monitored by corrupt feds planning on coming for you in force afterward at a time and place of their choosing.

Then again, some will counter, if we give our right to peaceably assemble up to that, in a way the enemies have won.

Me, I’m thinking a developing “wartime” footing makes the idea of a peaceable assembly a wishful thinking illusion, we’re beyond that now, and the new rules are, let the other guy be the one who’s vulnerable.

Anybody heard any online chatter about this?

Help Wanted, Inquire Within

[L]eftist and former NC Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, if elected to the U.S. Senate, has admitted she would “be the 51st vote to end the filibuster…” And if Beasley is allowed to cast a vote ending the filibuster, the ban on semi-automatic firearms Democrats have been trying to pass, as well as universal gun registration (aka “universal background checks”) will become law shortly thereafter. [More]

So what will NC gun owners do about that?

What If You Mustered the Militia and No One Came?


This has been out for three weeks and only has 811 views to date on YouTube…? Is that indicative of the interest Oregon gun owners have in being informed, let alone involved?

And according to Oregon Firearms Federation:

With the media in the tank for them, they will not have to spend much on spreading their message, while we have been forced to spend a lot. An excellent video produced for us is being denied digital distribution because it “involves guns.” Of course it does. It’s a gun ban ballot measure!

I wish I could believe that Oregon gun owners who won’t lift a finger to do the easy things now are ready, willing, and able to do the hard ones later. How pathetic that a guy in Ohio does more to share advocacy information than most of them, and has for years.

And it’s not just them.

‘Activist Investor Lawfare’?

KE Arms Sued: What GWACS Armory Doesn’t Want You To Know — A Lawyer Explains [Watch]

As I indicated earlier, I don’t know anything about this and won’t have time to learn. There’s only one of me and the plate is overflowing with other priorities and commitments already. Full disclosure: I didn’t even have time to watch this 19-minute video in its entirety, either.

I post this as an information resource for those of you who do have an interest in this matter. If you have intel to add, from either side, please feel free to leave relevant comments.

Who’s Minding the Store?

Mastriano will make Pennsylvania a “2nd Amendment Sanctuary,” where our rights will be protected against misguided federal bureaucrats that want to disarm law-abiding citizens. Mastriano will work with the legislature to make PA a safe, constitutional carry state [More]

Vs.

Josh Shapiro has committed to governing with gun sense as a priority. [More]

So what are Pennsylvania voters setting to do?

Is now the time for “the fastest growing pro-gun organization in Pennsylvania’s” Facebook page to have not had an update post for years? And their last blog post was in 2010? Especially considering their last mention in the news feed was in January, and before that 2018…

My guess is there are a lot more gun owners in Pennsylvania than the 15K that “follow” GOA-PA on Facebook.

Where’s the organization and where’s the support for organizations? Or should we just get used to saying “Governor Shapiro” and “Senator Fetterman”?

FWIW

Received via email:

With the 2022 General Election around the corner and American freedoms literally under attack, now is the time for you to get involved.

To equip you in defense of liberty, NRA-PVF just posted its candidate ratings and endorsements. They are now up and running at https://www.nrapvf.org.

These ratings and endorsements are updated in real-time, so we encourage you to check back regularly for any updates.

YMMV.

Requiescat in Pace

The Arizona Citizens Defense League sadly announces the passing of its founding President and chief lobbyist, Dave Kopp. Dave succumbed to a 12-year battle with cancer on Wednesday, August 24th. [More]

A champion has passed. Let us remember him with gratitude for his willingness and ability to bear those loads on our behalf that so many will not. Let us reflect on the qualities of character he personified and strive to exhibit them ourselves.

Loss Leaders

Everytown took a MASSIVE financial hit in 2020, used most of their donations to fund salaries – Everytown’s 501c4 Action Fund for 2020 is now available, and it’s a good one lol. First, they took a 75% hit in revenue… [More]

It’s the “pandemic,” they say.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

And here’s the “Support Fund.”

So when do we start seeing some high-profile firings? Or will they keep heads to save face?

Unhatched Chicken Counting

The Dubious and Doomed ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban That the House Approved Today May Cost Democrats This Fall – Recent polling suggests that Americans are starting to recognize that such laws make no sense. [More]

I wish I could share the enthusiasm but I think all it would take is one gun-free zone exploitation the magnitude of Beslan and you’d see a whole different set of survey results, not to mention a panicked Republican red wave-blowing scramble to get out of the water.

Now is no time to relax like the overconfident hare. Press on in earnest like the tortoise.
