I didn’t see any demands for new citizen disarmament edicts, so have at it.

Still, I got ten bucks says throwing private reparations money at the noisiest rabble-rousers to shut them up and offering jobs to the unemployable won’t work. Any takers?

A Trade Secret

So – Pistol Braces are just a political message to the Swamp – leveraging YOUR liberty. My friend @Rep_Clyde refused to be extorted. These were not the only threats being made. And don’t forget – there were deals that were cut that were accepted, rather than refused. #NoDeal [Watch]

The first report noted MAIG had already been at it for 10 months, yet information from the media, as well as from pro- and anti-gun groups, has been limited to nonexistent.

What a great way to describe lawsuits against gun manufacturers!

Juxtapose this brave woman’s reality against the kind of Action Moms Demand. They would rather see her dead than armed.
