97 percent - The War on Guns

I See Your True Colors Shining Through

Nice to see the Pence Vichycon Troye screwing things up worse than the ineffectual Littman. [More]

Citing HuffPo to justify citizen disarmament really shows the new girl for what she is.

I wonder when these “influencers” are going to start distancing themselves…

Yeah… That’s the Ticket!*

In yesterday’s surreal House hearing on censorship, the Democrats’ witness Olivia Troye denied to North Carolina congressman Dan Bishop something she’d said in her opening statement. [More]

It’s not the first time everything she previously stood behind turned out to be a lie.

Can We All Get Along?

🚨 Breaking News 🚨
We are proud to announce that North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper will be our keynote speaker for our 2nd Annual Summit, “What’s Next? An Innovative Approach to Reducing Gun-Related Deaths” taking place virtually on November 17.
“Reducing gun violence will take all of us coming together to find common ground to save lives,” says Governor Cooper. “I’m excited to discuss what’s happening in North Carolina with a bipartisan gun safety group like 97Percent who is bringing innovative solutions to reducing gun violence to the national conversation.”

You know, the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.

I wonder if Roy will tell us what he likes about Jim Crow…?

Joe Walsh, Rob Pincus, and Amy Swearer are joining in to “legitimize” the show and demonstrate how “fair-minded” those paying for it are…

Everybody’s looking at the inclusion of Steven Gutowski into the mainstream discourse as a positive, and I hope he uses the elevated platform to the best effect possible, but I also believe there’s something in it for “them” in terms of the direction of the discourse.

What we’re seeing here is something I’ve warned about– all our “gun rights influencers” g u s h i n g o v e r all the new gun owners without considering whether or not any votes have been changed…

The antis are picking a lot of them up just as surely as they’ve done with a lot of Fudds.

There I go vilifying by pointing out an obvious divide-and-conquer strategy again.

Lies, Damn Lies…

Support for major gun laws could also be substantially increased if key concerns are addressed. [More]

…and 97percent…

Note it hasn’t been established what respondents actually know about these “laws,” and especially what they’re not being told about the negative impacts on freedom of prior restraints and due process abuses, how none of this addresses the real problems behind the “crime” concerns, and how the ultimate agenda will never reach a final increment where the men behind the curtain say “No more.”

Follow the Judas Goat!

@97percentorg On the Season 2 premiere of #TAG we’re joined by Jonathan and Geneva Solomon, the husband & wife co-owners of @redstonefirearms: California’s only Black-owned gun shop. [More]

You folks do realize 97percent is a millionaire-funded anti-gun front designed to divide the gun owner community and you’re helping to “legitimize” that among the uninformed?

It’s no coincidence their name is the antithesis of the Three Percent.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
