Outlier

Steve Hilton, a legal immigrant and political newcomer running as a Republican for governor of California, said the “absolute failure on every front” by current Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats means the GOP has a real shot at pulling off an upset in the Golden State. [More]

And he appears to understand 2A…

So are my critics right, and will I have to eat my words?

This “anecdote and isolated example” aside, it’s on them to show how legal immigrants who become naturalized citizens will vote our way gun issues, because the polls I’ve found say they overwhelmingly vote against us.

Plus, the California vote is hardly a lock and urban populations will decide it.

Then again, sometimes I wonder why I bother.

An Incomplete Data Set

Cato Director: Immigrants Reduce Crime Rates, So You’re Less Likely to Be a Crime Victim [More]

What will happen to that crime rate when the pathway to citizenship Democrats and cheap labor Republicans/Libertarians succeed in changing the electorate to one that supports citizen disarmament?

I wonder if Bier and Cato will take the challenge that so far everyone else has run away from.

We could always ask…

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It

Cornyn Pushed Potentially “Sharia-Compliant” Visa Program His Daughter’s Lobbying Firm Made A Fortune From [More]

And if we’re to believe some of our more popular “gun rights authorities,” me suggesting that importing such people will have an impact on government recognition of our rights, and that ought ot be factored into the Cornyn/Paxton equation, would be”both bigoted and wildly unpopular. Some real loser shit.”

Hawaii Dem reveals why she stayed seated during Trump’s viral SOTU moment about prioritizing Americans – Hawaii Democrat Jill Tokuda told a voter that the ‘decision was easy for me’ [More]

Interesting nexus that “Progressive Caucus” she represents has…

Gun Groups Failing Members by Ignoring Immigration Threat

With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]

There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?

None Dare Call It Treason

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes joined her fellow Democratic attorneys general from 22 other states and the District of Columbia in filing an amicus brief in support of birthright citizenship. [More]

Of course they do:

A plan comes together and deliberately indifferent “gun groups” are letting it.

The European Parliament adopted a resolution stating that anyone who wishes to conceive, carry, and give birth to a child can do so. Men included. Or rather, primarily. [More]

On the bright side, the new armed forces will make short work of that.

Forced Perspective

Immigration, Assimilation, and the Second Amendment: A Candid Perspective [More]

If it were candid, it would admit that random anecdotal examples don’t offset real numbers. 55% Democrats to 26% Republicans is a landslide.

And blaming public education presupposes we’ll be able to do anything about that before it’s too late.

But, by all means, embrace the happy talk and feel virtuous, useful idiot gun owners, afraid the commies will call you racists. And continue to ignore this, just like Ranjit and Bearing Arms:

At least I’m no longer alone.

This!

This is why I keep telling you the most important issue for our Second Amendment rights is immigration. If we lose the immigration war, if we allow our country to be invaded by people legally or illegally, by the way, legal immigration is just as much of a problem as illegal immigration in my view because you’re bringing in people that do not share our values, do not share our respect for the Constitution… [Watch]

Who else has been beating this drum and documenting why?

And decrying more prominent 2A influencers for dismissing it?

It figures the ones who defend Democrats also advocate stupid $#!+ like this:

Goal #5: Return to exclusive focus on Second Amendment issues…It does not include issues like … immigration, and other political lightning rods that have little or nothing to do with the Second Amendment.

We get the same kind of denial of the way things through unachievably theoretical wishful thinking from the Libertarian Party:

Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.

Anyone who says it’s not existential is a liar, a fool, or both. Between traitors, suicidal idiots, and poltroons afraid that people who already call them racists will criticize them some more, the West will be cooked unless a critical mass wakes the f### up…

Now, if we could just get Smith to admit the one inconvenient truth about “in common use at the time“…

If that had been the litmus test at the time of ratification, breech loaders would have been considered dangerous and unusual.
