Beats the Alternative

Unsuppressed: Straight Shooting with Chris Chiafullo and ATF Director Robert Cekada [Watch]

Longtime readers know I view services like FFLGuard essential for dealers who want to keep trouble from happening in the first place and who don’t want to have to go for help when things blow up on them.

I’m surprised this exclusive video hasn’t gotten more widespread publicity within the 2A community. Please help change that, and while you’re at it, bookmark the channel to watch more.

We know since this was made several days back a key player discussed is moving on. And yeah, unless and until what we all want happens, this is as good as we’re gonna get, which is a hell of a lot better than anything we’ve had so far.

I Got Them Stupid Party Blues

Ohio’s Senate has taken clear, decisive action on suppressor reform, but the House has not finished the job. Senate Bill 214 passed the Senate by a decisive 31–1 vote, yet months later, the bill remains stalled in the House Public Safety Committee. [More]

Way to douse fire in gun voter bellies before the midterms!

The Blue Path

Another of the interminable political spam texts just received:

Red Path

Yeah, we know Husted’s a squish.

We also know the election will be binary and from how much he’s got to spend and all credible polling, Redpath knows that too, so he knows his run is a spoiler and everything he takes away will work in “Gun Sense Candidate” Sherrod Brown’s favor.

And as for his being such a 2A pal, he also knows his suicidal immigration platform will undo it all:

Challenge

The same goes for “straightforward and clear lawful path to citizenship” Governor candidate Donald Kissick, whose run will only benefit Everytown pick Amy Acton.

Then again, how can we blame them if our own “gun influencers” refuse to admit the truth?

More Guns Less Crime

Each state has carefully crafted its concealed-carry laws in the way that makes the most sense to protect its citizens… Clearly, large, urban areas merit a different standard than rural areas. To gut the ability of local police and sheriffs to determine who should be able to carry a concealed weapon makes no sense. It could reverse the dramatic success we’ve had in reducing crime in most all parts of America. –SENATOR CHARLES SCHUMER, 7/21/09 [More]

Except with more gun owners, more guns, and more widespread concealed carry, crime and violent crime is down, lower than it was then.

How much more evidence is needed that prohibitionists and Democrats (but I repeat myself) have been, are, and will be wrong on this I don’t know, as I’m not someone who would rule by emotions.

Gun-grabbing Democrat politicians have the advantage of knowing anyone suckered enough to vote for them will be too ignorant and indoctrinated to realize they’re being manipulated and lied to.

I’m wondering what the hell Todd Blanche was doing defending it based on “historic tradition.”

The antis use obscure edicts to argue infringements are OK but you’ll note the cases they cite weren’t challenged on 2A grounds and ruled on by SCOTUS. I’d expect our “pro-2A” DOJ to understand that.

I’m honored to be the only legislative candidate in the State of Florida with the endorsement of both GOA @GunOwners & NAGR PAC @gunrights because as a long time 2A Advocate I recognize that our rights come from God, not government.

Catch-22
