Notes from the Resistance
Gonzales showed what kind of Republican he was back in 2005 when he told the Senate he wanted them to remove Patriot Act restrictions and that he supported Congress extending the expired “assault weapon” ban, pointing out that his brother was a Houston SWAT officer… [More]
It must be a “good” boot to the face if it has an “R” on it. Right…?

How can you tell if Bill Lee is lying?

Are you getting a return on your investment with the NRA? [Watch]
I guess. I became a Life Member back in the 90s and every month they send me their magazine, so I’m sure the initial donation has been paid back. That and I’ve attended several Annual Meetings at no admission cost. But I haven’t sent them a dime in decades now and like many others won’t unless and until heads at the top roll.

Two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — broke from the party and voted against the legislation… [More]
I knew about this Fitzpatrick piece of crap— and his strange hold over Kevin McCarthy. Kean hasn’t been on my radar yet to know what a phony he is:
The National Rifle Association (NRA) Victory Fund gave Tom Kean, Jr. these ratings for the following election cycles: an A+ rating (100 percent) for 2017 and a B rating (67 percent) for 2020.
And speaking of phonies, since when is 67% not a “D” and a 1.0 GPA?

“I have a message tonight for Merrick Garland and Jack Smith and Joe Biden — and the guys back there in the fake news media, you should listen up as well, this one is for you,” Ms. Lake said. “If you want to get to President Trump, you are going to have go through me, and you are going to have to go through 75 million Americans just like me. And I’m going to tell you, most of us are card-carrying members of the N.R.A.” [More]
And many of us are Wine Club members!
Or shouldn’t we believe that people who can’t even elect a new board can impact the fate of the government?
Didn’t Oath Keepers say essentially the same thing about the vote certification?
So what’s this, defeatist language?
No, I’m just saying Kati Lake shouldn’t involve others in her grandstanding, particularly when she has been powerless to do anything but make noise about Arizona. And I’m the NRA. I’ll decide when and if to answer a muster call, and I’m not 100% on having the back of someone who so often doesn’t have mine.
It sounds more to me like she’s bucking for a Vice President spot on a ticket we might not see happen.
Besides, if and when things go kinetic, expect it to be unexpected.

Bump Stock Boondoggle, Don’t Blame Trump – Blame LaPierre [More]
No, I blame them both but I blame Trump more. He was the one with the power and it was his responsibility to understand the implications of his actions.
As I said on Monday, the gloves have come off and the powers that be at the NRA have created an implacable enemy in former 1st VP Willes Lee. Now that he is free from the constraints of being both an officer and a member of the Special Litigation Committee, Lee is feeling no remorse about starting to air dirty laundry. [More]
When I met him in Pittsburgh last October at the 2022 NRA-ILA Firearms Law & the Second Amendment Symposium, I thought from the impression I had of him being a Fairfax loyalist that he’d have a real problem with me. Instead, he was gracious, told me voices like mine needed to be heard, and asked me to introduce him to Stephen Stamboulieh. The possibility was there in the back of my mind but I didn’t get the sense I was being played.
Seeing how his years of being the good soldier have been repaid you gotta wonder why– and why Wayne et al. thought that was a good idea. Maybe now that he’s freeing himself up to be candid about its inner workings, perhaps we’ll find out why, as it’s increasingly obvious that his loyalty is to NRA as an institution and its staff.

SAF SUES MARYLAND OVER RESTRICTIVE NEW CARRY LAW
I’ll do another update today if GOA gets involved.
As a veteran, gun-owner, hunter, and dad, I know that basic gun safety isn’t a threat to the Second Amendment. [More]
No, of course not. Basic gun safety is essential to it.
But that’s not really what you’re talking about, is it?
Be vewy, vewy quiet… I’m infwinging wights… Hehhehhehhehheh…
You have to wonder what kind of gun owner would be stupid enough to fall for this.
Or go so far as to tell people he’s “a true and constant friend.”

Made inevitable by “lesser of two evils” political desperation…
Take the short-term loss to avoid long-term certainty, because as we’ve seen yet once more over in Texas, counting on most “staunch defenders of the Second Amendment” not to be lying whores is a sucker’s game where the house generally wins.
If betrayers aren’t made public examples of, others will see they too can get away with it.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled that 27,000 people who pled guilty or were convicted of drunk driving from June 1, 2011 to April 18, 2019, are entitled to have their cases reconsidered due to the state police lab’s widespread mishandling of breathalyzer tests and withholding of evidence.

Coercing pleas with the threat of more severe charges is a way they get domestic violence “admissions” and the gun prohibition that goes along with it.
If you want to know how that works, I understand NRA’s new First Vice President is something of an authority…

“There is broad agreement that dangerous, unstable individuals who intend to harm themselves or others should not have access to weapons. We also share a strong commitment to preserving Second Amendment rights, ensuring due process and addressing the heart of the problem with strengthened mental health resources.” [More]

Former gun industry executive: I saw with ‘my own eyes’ how NRA ‘radicalized’ gun debate [Watch]
That’s funny. From what I saw, they’ve continually had to be dragged in.
The ones who “radicalized” it were the ones demanding we surrender our freedom aided and abetted by Juda$e$ like Busse.
Note all the supportive comments from self-described “gun owners.” Aside from having no proof of that, even if some are, it’s part of a larger divide-and-conquer strategy. Watching and agreeing with CNN on guns should tell us all we need to know about their priorities.
