The Government Giveth, the Government Taketh Away

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed off on additional protections for gun and ammunition dealers, manufacturers and sellers against lawsuits within a bill that lawmakers passed after a deadly school shooting in March. [More]

He’d better not think that will earn him a pass for what he’s got planned.

I like to think this played some small part in that

UPDATE

Witness who called for gun control in aftermath of Texas mall shooting lied about his actions: police – Police say Steven Spainhouer contributed to spreading ‘misinformation’ about shooting [More]

So will Shawn and Poppy correct the record or just move on to the next set of lies and hope no one dumb and biased enough to turn to them for “news” will either notice or care if they do?

All Stirred Up and No Place to Go

The ATF jackboots have lost tens of thousands of guns, stolen millions of dollars, burned dozens of innocent women & children, shot the dogs, and exist as a tool to infringe on your rights. Put an end to their tyranny. Support the Abolish the ATF Act at http://FPCAction.org. [More]

All true, but we first need to abolish the edicts they enforce and impose, otherwise this is just kicking the can. And in any case, without the Senate and the White House, this stands no chance of passing, so the energy and resources being spent on this would be better applied to actual achievable goals.

Of course, it’s wrong.

I’m just trying to work up sympathy for companies and citizens that try to comply with tyranny in the first damn place. I’m also wondering why, aside from a few notable individuals like Barrett and Hornady, the industry and its trade association are committed to arming the disarmers.

Media Doesn’t Mention Its ‘Responsible’ Gun Owner is a Democrat Apparatchik

NBC Dallas/Fort Worth made sure to identify him as “a gun owner” in its report. Now This News calls him “a Second Amendment supporter.” And not to be left behind, in between emoting for the camera, CNN’s Poppy Harlow acknowledged Spainhouer’s (disingenuous) “pro-Second Amendment” bona fides as he rattled off a laundry list of infringements straight off the Giffords/Everytown/Brady wish list … [More]

What’s being a Democrat activist stumping on national TV for the party’s citizen disarmament agenda got to do with his credibility as a “Second Amendment supporter”?

A Last Ditch Attempt

The grabbers fight like cowardly children, which I suppose is a good thing.
