Dismissal of Immigration Threat is What the Gun Prohibitionists’ Want

A Rebuttal to Cam Edwards’ Article ‘Should 2A Groups Make Opposition to Legal Immigration an Issue? A Response to David Codrea’ [More]

By disparaging thoughts on what a “pathway to citizenship” means for future “gun votes,” widely followed “gun rights influencers” are discouraging even discussing the issue.

‘A Lifelong Republican’

Told ya. May she be as successful with this as she was at accomplishing nothing over at 97percent.

And here she is praising a ‘No Kings’ rally. Her journey to the dark side is complete.

Be interesting to see her gun platform when she gets a campaign website up.

When Seconds Count

Texas Democrat James Talarico Said Having Police in Schools Fuels ‘Culture of Violence’ in Newly Resurfaced Audio [More]

Why is it every time I see this lunatic I picture Elliot Page?

If it ends up being between him and Cornyn, well, this is how the system keeps gunvoters in line.

And look what else Texans can elect. Good grief.

A New Republican

Samuel Ronan, a former Democratic state and national candidate, attempted to run as a Republican in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District against GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Carey. To do so, he signed a declaration of candidacy — under penalty of election falsification — swearing he was a member of the Republican Party. [More]

Stephen and Ranjit oughta love this guy.

Politicized Vichy Frauds

Vivek says ““The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up.”

Heather Hill endorsed Kasich. (Then again, so did PVF.)

And that they don’t have Amy as an “F” makes me wonder just how lazy these PVF “researchers” are. Then again, I learned a long time ago how “reliable” their grades are.

If you’re a 2A voter, Casey’s the real deal.

A Conspicuous Absence

2026 BFA-PAC Grades and Endorsements for the Ohio Primary [More]

Nothing to say about the main event?

I have.

In a way, the silence is a positive– it may show the leadership is aware of member sentiment, that not all are kneejerk swallowing the establishment line, and that they want to keep their options open.

Gun Influencers Denying Immigration Impact on Right to Arms Ignore Truths They Can’t Refute

All the critics need to do to prove this wrong is to come up with numbers that credibly refute those given. [More]

You can’t rebut contentions by avoiding them. It’s past time this argument was more widely noticed in the “pro-gun community.”

A Trigger Rock in Richmond?

Virginia Dems’ Gun Control Blitzkrieg Should be a Warning to Gun Owners Nationwide [More]

It should have been a warning before the election.

Who thinks the necessary coordination and participation we didn’t see at the state level will manifest itself nationwide to thwart gerrymandering?

Andy M. points out that some of my critics will not be happy with Mark W. Smith saying this (7:40 in):

[We] really need for a whole bunch of reasons including to continue to push that most important issue which is even which is the most important issue when it comes to our second amendment right to keeps and that is the immigration issue kicking out the people shouldn’t be here. kicking out the people that may be illegally voting, kicking out the people that have no interest in the right to
keep and bear arms.

I’m working on a rebuttal to their deliberate, and often hostile avoidance of the facts. I’m delighted to see a much more influential voice than mine picking up this banner, and will make sure to cite this in my sequel to this.

Casey at the Bat

He answered the Ohio Gun Owners survey:

A colleague noted whose they did not:

OGO removed the comment.

I did try to give Putsch the benefit of the doubt:

Unfortunately, he didn’t answer any of our questions. Realizing that political campaigns can be all consuming, Firearms News will issue an update if he does.

That said, I expect I’ll vote for Putsch in the primary, although based on my track record at picking political winners, candidates probably shouldn’t want me to.
