Short Story

S. 4986: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act, and for other purposes. [More]

Seeing if he gets more than five cosponsors will be a good indicator of which Republicans really are “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment.”

That said, if they don’t take the Senate this is going nowhere, and introducing it now strikes me more as a pre-election publicity stunt than anything– even with Marshall’s term not ending until ’27, this still draws attention to the GOP and co-sponsor Crapo is running now.

Sorry to be so cynical, but I can’t figure out any other explanation.

Speaking of Disturbingly Persistent Ideas…

“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]

For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.

As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.

It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

We Have Top Men Working On It Right Now

I wanted to reach out and let you know that experts from the Western States Center, one of the nation’s premier organizations working to counter political extremism and violence, has experts tracking the upcoming January 6th hearing in Congress this week, and the start of the seditious conspiracy trial against five members of the Oath Keepers including Stuart Rhodes. [More]

Can they spell his name right?

Top…men.

Missing in Action 3

Chuck Norris endorses Hung Cao in the 10th district [More]

It’d be nice, Mr. Cao, if in addition to the few statements that have been picked up by the media you would talk about guns knowledgeably on your campaign website, where there is but one brief and hard-to-find mention. Add to that ignoring VCDL’s candidate survey, and it’ll take more than a  say-nothing poster to ignite a fire in gun owner bellies.

The thing is, even keeping your head down, Virginia Democrats are still attacking you full force on guns, so what do you have to lose by standing up for what they’ll accuse you of regardless? This is your chance to use the bully pulpit to educate and lead, which is presumably what you’re trying to do here.

VA Dems, huh? Those are the same gun-grabbers Rob and Grant’s pal Jorge helps to eviscerate the rights of their customers.

Dance, Puppets, Dance!

If someone offered a Democrat the most powerful position on the planet and told him, “Don’t worry, we will do all the hard work, you just relax and sign the papers,” wouldn’t most Democrats close the space between them and a pen at the speed of light? [More]

And what does that say about most Democrat voters?

Violent Political Rhetoric and Extreme Disarmament Agenda Belie Tim Ryan’s ‘Bipartisan Unifier’ Claim

“Some of those answers will come from Republicans, not the extremists that we are dealing with every single day,” Ryan continued, to show how conciliatory he can be. “We’ve got to kill and confront that movement, but working with normal mainstream Republicans, that’s going to be really, really important.” [More]

So if you don’t let radical gun-grabbing Democrats have the final word on who qualifies as a “normal mainstream Republican,” you’re an “extremist.”
