Notes from the Resistance
I got this invite by email, along with the edresses of over 100 other recipients, because who better to talk about safety and security than someone who doesn’t know how and why to use “BCC”?
The Astroturfers behind this include 97percent, which I’ve done a lot of exposing of. Anyway, the email said “Firearm owners are especially welcome to participate in the Q&A period,” so I thought I’d pass this along and see if anybody wants to virtually “attend” and ask questions.
I’m a gun owner. I know I’m a sitting duck until common sense gun laws are on the books. [More]
This is the exact divide-and-conquer subversion the 97percent Astroturfers, the Gun Culture 2.0 squishes, and the Fudds for Biden are counting on. They are all AHSA on steroids, and coming at us on multiple fronts.
If I were an FFL and Carl came into my store I’d tell him to get the hell out.

It also adopted a new test for Second Amendment cases. Gun laws today must be consistent with the laws that existed when the Second Amendment was adopted in the late 17 hundreds. This means that gun regulations will be assessed according to their conformity with laws that were in place during the 18th and 19th centuries. [More]
The 19th Century is not ” the late 17 hundreds.” I’ve been telling you these people were liars. These “kinder, gentler” citizen disarmament Astroturfers want us to believe “equal protection” means we’re now all subject to post-Civil War Black Codes introduced by Democrats a century after the Founders ratified the Bill of Rights.
“Our side” participating lends them underserved “credibility.”
Tangentially related, WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess shares a video on a First Amendment case raising similar points.
I joined 97Percent because they are a gun safety organization taking a different approach to this seemingly intractable issue. [More]
The kinder, gentler citizen disarmers.
Divide and conquer is hardly a different approach. Like all “progressive” ideas, it’s a dusting off of an old ruse relying on apparatchiks and useful idiots to draw the suckers in.
Not to mention make a buck.
There’s never been a shortage of gunkapos presenting themselves as Gun Culture 2.0.
WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M. sent me a couple more examples that are a few months old but timely in regard to this:
But when Rob Pincus told FOX News he supported Biden’s ideas, even shooting a shotgun out a door to scare away bad guys, it was too much. Even with Pincus’ previous statements calling for more gun control, he had crossed the Rubicon. There was no going back. [More]
He crossed the Rubicon for me when he came unglued and went all ad hominem over questioning one of his fellow trainers supporting Hillary. He secured his position in the enemy camp when he teamed up with one of its leaders and then joined up with the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.
That makes his allies subject to scrutiny too, in my book. They’re the ones who advise ignoring the greatest threat.
The thing is, he doesn’t care about burning bridges. He knows he can continue to make a good living off of Gun Culture 2.0, where useful idiots have their “allowed” guns, for now, as they witlessly vote in rulers aiming to change that as soon as they think they can.

In the interests of fairness, TTAG directs us to the documentation of incomplete quotes.
That has no bearing on my observations.

97Percent Republican Board Members Speak Up To Demand An End To Gun-Related Violence [More]
Right. An “A”-rated Biden voter and a Vichycon celebrating the Warnock win.
These people are frauds. Don’t get me started on the gun owners who are enabling them.
What makes 97percent’s “roadmap” all the more insidious is that the organization is (at times) successfully employing a “divide and conquer” strategy by claiming to represent both “responsible” gun owners (as if opponents are irresponsible) as well as “bipartisan” (that is, RINO) interests. We’re essentially talking Fudds and Democrat gun owners, who place faith in centralized government disarmament diktats and hostility to “deplorables” above uninfringed freedom for their countrymen. [More]
In the third and final installment in this series, we look at the gun owners who are helping make the grand disarmament deception possible.

We’re sharing some advice for those challenging conversations with family members around the dinner table. We believe there are ways to discuss politics that include others and make them feel heard, not alienated. Check out our post below for a few tips on how to have conflict-free gatherings. [More]
Stop demanding to sic the jackboots on us to disarm us by force and we’ll get along just fine.
No matter how much 97percent tries to present itself as the “reasonable” alternative to find “common ground,” their supporters show they just can’t control their militant hostility.

Let’s now look at the four “policy” infringements the 97percent group wants to see imposed under the force of law. [More]
This is Part Two of a three-part series exposing a group of “kinder, gentler” Astroturf gun-grabbers employing a divide-and-conquer strategy that low-information gun owners may fall for without an intervention by those who can see through the weasel words.
More than three weeks after losing a reelection bid, President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday blamed a software bug and demanded the electoral authority annul votes cast on most of Brazil’s nation’s electronic voting machines, though independent experts say the bug doesn’t affect the reliability of results. [More]
“Baseless,” right?
Now, this would be something:
“Brazilian Military is Just Waiting for Bolsonaro to Give the Order to Arrest Corrupt Communist Judge”
It kind of explains why our rulers have focused so intently on woke generals.
Regardless, it looks like a critical mass of Brazilians isn’t just going to roll over for Lula’s planned citizen disarmament.
We need to be able to say the same and be on our guard against the renewed divide-and-conquer strategy of spawning woke gun owners.
But let’s go to the “study” and see what gun owners will have to give up in order to achieve the “benefits” of “could” and “has the potential,” assuming they’re not just ignoring factors they have no solutions for and aren’t just making sh… uh… stuff up. [More]
Part One of a three-part series: Let’s unfold this “roadmap” and see where it leads.
Rural gun deaths exceed urban rates by 28% because of increased suicide rates [More]
Now, what are the actual numbers, because we all know how the rates game is played.
One group making great hay with these “results” is 97percent, the kinder, gentler citizen disarmers. I worked on a three-parter exposing this over the weekend that is now in the publishing queue over at AmmoLand.
Bottom line: We’re being played. So it’s no surprise the “real reporters” couldn’t be bothered to do any more work than was required to parrot the narrative.
