All the times Trump’s VP pick JD Vance has attacked him [More]
I went through his pros and cons here and ended on a note of concern:
Firearms News made three attempts to ask Vance if he would be willing to answer some detailed questions about [being a Never ] and about the legislative agenda gun owners should expect to see him pursue. He has chosen not to respond.
You could ask “Who am I?” and you’d be right, but a national magazine reaching a core voting demographic should not be so easy to dismiss. I also worry about who will be picked to replace him, especially since the GOP candidate who will be opposing Ohio’s Democrat communist gun-grabbing senator Sherrod Brown is another “reformed” Never Trumper who laughed at gun owners and asked:
“What kind of gun do you need to have a hundred bullets in it?” Moreno asked. “And are you going to eat a deer that has a hundred bullets in it? Can’t there be some common sense that says that one [gun] is probably out, right, without infringing on someone’s rights? Can’t we have universal background checks?”
If Vance is elected, his replacement will be picked by the bipolar Gov. Mike DeWine.
Politics…
It’s been a long day, I’m tired, and I have to be up at 3 a.m. to take feral son Uday and his family to the airport, so I’m outta here.
I did get a Firearms News article on the assassination attempt and RNC dropping 2A from the platform drafted and submitted.
I tried to get as many tips from the weekend and today in as I could, and I trust noody here needs me to tell them the judge dropped Jack Smith’s classified docs case and Trump picked JD Vance for VP.
I’ll be back tomorrow morning after I get more sleep after getting home from ther airport.

It’s good that Sotomayor’s security was able to defend themselves and repel a predator. It’s inexcusable that she won’t admit she has been wrong about our right to do the same. [More]
