Arizona, Take Off Your Rainbow Shades
Meet the Candidates!
Sturtevant? The guy with the political courage and devotion to principle to conclude that being endorsed by as tepid a group as NRA was just too much for him to be associated with, so he colluded with them to have it taken down? Yeah, that’s a representative I want fighting the fight for me!
As for all of them, I wonder if anyone will ask them some unequivocal questions and not let them weasel out of things:
- What did the Founders mean by “A well regulated militia”?
- What did the Founder mean by “being necessary to the security of a free State”?
- What did the Founders mean by “the right of the people to keep and bear arms”?
- What did the Founders mean by “shall not be infringed”?
- How can past Supreme Court opinion specifying protected arms as those being “in common use at the time” not apply to the types of firearms needed for militia service?
I’d also add a tangentially-related question, one not directly part of the “single issue,” but one that nonetheless is being used to undermine it:
- What Constitutional basis is there to “secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” by exercising protective measures over who may enter the country and who may become a citizen?

UPDATE
Here are the questions VCDL asks different-level candidates.
Lawsuits and Legislation
The lawsuits against Mz 114 continue to wind their way through the courts. And, to no one’s surprise the legal bills keep rolling in. [More]
More than one judge has shown hostility and costs are mounting.
Related UPDATE
On March 28th at 3pm, the Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hold a “work session” on SB 551. This bill requires that schools “provide specified information related to secure storage of firearms.” [More]
The attacks from all directions never stop. So neither can we.

A Matter of Priorities
Pentagon announces largest-ever defense budget request [More]
Funny– Congress never spends even one penny on “organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” And none of those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are demanding it.
Seeing as how the authors of the Constitution they all swore an oath to uphold viewed it as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” Why do you suppose that is?
Point/Counterpoint
Most Communists are pro-gun, I haven’t met a single one who isn’t. It’s Liberals/Democrats that are Anti-gun, we hate them as much as you do. [More]
Sorry, “the enemy of my enemy” does not apply here.
You gotta wonder about Democrat voters stupid enough to believe in “socialism.”
The Long and Short of It
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… Prognosis5% chance of being enacted according to Skopos Labs (details) [More]
Less than that if the Republicans don’t take over the Senate and the White House next time out.
But it makes them look like they’re doing something.
Half the Battle
Wolf in the Fold
“It is our view that the missing component to the gun violence prevention movement is the faith community,” said Bryan Miller, director of the advocacy group Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence. “The faith community can take charge and lead this effort.” [More]
Jeez, you’d think “real reporter” Zack Hoopes would do a little digging to see if Bryan’s agenda might be more than one of just “faith.” And let his readers know. If he was interested in doing more than a press release.
I’ll stick with Rev. Gilbert Tennent and a Founding era understanding, thank you:
He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend itself.
Or you could keep doing it Bryans’ way.
