Plain Talk, Long Overdue

I spoke with him in detail a few days back and submitted the results of our talk to Firearms News. My editor tells me it will be online either today or tomorrow and has gotten in under the wire to make the print version, going to press Monday and should in subscriber mailboxes/on news stands for several days before the primary.

I didn’t really know that much about him or what to expect in terms of how deeply and sincerely he would walk the talk, but I gotta say, my conclusion is we’re dealing with the real deal, we’re dealing with someone who doesn’t need to put himself out there for all the crap he’ll have to put up with, and we’re dealing with someone we’ll be damn fortunate to have in office, especially after enduring the wretched likes of Kass-Itch and the bipolar Mike DeWine.

Add in Vivek Ramaswamy declaring ““The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up” while working to bring in a demographic that is 83% anti-gun, and readers here know how I feel about that.

If you’re an Ohio (or any other state) gun owner who agrees with me, you’ve gotta see what’s in it for you by spreading the word, getting out the vote, and supporting his campaign with much-needed donations. (I just made out a check he’ll get next week because of the Win-Red processing fee. And in the interest of disclaimers/disclosures, I hadn’t made up my mind to do this until after I’d submitted the mag article for publication.)

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

I couldn’t help juxtaposing watching him handling those guns with this bit of Republican phoniness designed to suck in the gunrubes:

A Temporary Reprieve

New York has agreed to drop a requirement that applicants for concealed carry gun permits list their former and current social media accounts so officials can confirm their “character.” [More]

For now.

Let communist Democrats keep gaining power there, and “gun permits” and “social media” won’t even be permitted memories, let alone issues for proletariat consensus.

The Breastplate of Righteousness

Heeter v. James Challenges New York Body Armor Ban Under the Second Amendment [More]

Good. They made sure to include historical examples that did the exact opposite of what New York Democrats are imposing. What’s that tell you about these regressive tyrants when their prohibitions are more oppressive than those of medieval monarchies?

Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits

Across California, new legislation and shifting policies are raising serious questions about how churches can protect their congregations—often without clear guidance for pastors and church leaders. [More]

It looks like these folks aim to fix that.

If your pastor is too deluded, gutless, and/or corrupted to tell you the truth, you’re in the wrong church:

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 [it]self.

Blast from the Past

I’m not the only one concerned with gun groups suicidally ignoring/ disparaging the greatest threat:

The Single Issue Focus Of The Gun Rights Lobby: Both Their Greatest Strength And A Fatal Flaw

There’s a special truth in here that can’t be emphasized enough, especially with the critics who say “Wait a generation and they’ll be Americanized”:

For the last two decades, the NRA and other groups have been lobbying as if the make-up of the American people has remained static since the 1950s. It hasn’t.

It’s not heritage American culture that will shape their worldviews. Vivek even goes so far as to declare, “The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up.”

Assuming you agree with me, what are you doing to spread the word and sound the alarm?

Assuming you don’t, if you can’t be responsive to this, you’re a myopic fraud.

Gun Extremists Trump and Bondi Declare ‘Nukes for All!’

Trump DOJ Refuses to Rule Out Second Amendment Right to Nuclear Weapons [More]

“Slate is now just making $#!+ up,” you say…?

This is my shocked face.

And far be it from them to let us know in the article that Tess Fardon and Shira Feldman are lawyers for the National Council to Ban Handgu… I mean, Brady United…

Not Enough Chiefs

Let’s see, @5M in the U.S., 66% of those new immigrants after a 174% increase in 20 years… and India Today is a go-to mass influencer source for them.

No wonder they’re 83% against 2A.

And no wonder my challenge says anecdotes and isolated examples don’t measurably alter that.

You guys who disagree, you’d better step up those outreach efforts and start taking busloads to the range.

A ‘Pro-Gun Democrat’

Insurgent Virginia Democrat says his party is ‘completely wrong’ on gun rights and gerrymandering [More]

How is he on voting for Democrats he cconsiders wrong on this, as opposed to Republican alternatives?

How is he on the immigration threat?

Self-serving trainer Jorge proves the point: There can be no such thing as a truly pro-Second Amendment Democrat.

Just ask Tim Walz. Or Harry Reid. Or John Dingell. Or…

Encourge the divisiveness. Just don’t fall for the lie.

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.”

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

If you give up on a state completely, that means all the money Bloomberg was dumping into it can go to a different one to do the same thing. Why even if it appears hopeless, you don’t quit or abandon anywhere. [More]

Having fought the fight in California for decades and seeing what the few who push back have to endure, I’ve always tried to remind snarky gun owners who live in safer climes (for now) that wishing for it to fall into the ocean is hardly constructive, and how the troops on the front lines are the ones who need our support the most.
