From the Jaws of Victory

Brian Fitzpatrick raised $1.22 million this quarter as Democrats plan to target his Pa. district in the 2026 midterms [More]

It doesn’t matter if you vote like a Democrat, they’ll just use you and then trash you. If Republicans lose the majority it will be their fault for offering weasel enemies within like this we’d be better off without.

No matter who wins, are you going to surrender your guns? Hey, we’re not going to avoid a showdown forever.

Points/Counterpoints

I see some comments on my new piece on Brian Fitzpatrick that I’m going to address here. I rarely add comments over at AmmoLand because I’ve had my say, it’s the readers’ turn, and I just don’t have the time to get drawn into debates. That and I can better handle things here when trolls attempt to disrupt and redirect by going off topic, or hijacking the conversation I’m inviting completely with insulting squabbles (see “Comment House Rules” in right sidebar).

Bucks county is the burbs of Philly, lots of wealthy liberal democrats. Getting a pro 2a to run much less win in that area is practically impossible.

The reality is, and I included a link in my article, Fitzpatrick won 56+% to 43+%. Republicans will win there. This defeatist presumption presupposes, without evidence to back up the assertion, that such Republicans must be overt gun-grabbers, spreads a “there’s nothing we can do about it” attitude that several readers upvoted and agreed with, and signals the GOP that Lee (“Who else are they going to vote for?”) Atwater was right and it can continue to ignore and even sabotage gun owner interests.

This is not the way we fight to win. But the Democrats love it.

https://foac-pac.org/ is the only 2A group I know of in PA. Residents should be a member.

2A is about more than “crime,” they only have 570 x.com followers and haven’t posted to it since 2023. They do somewhat better with 14K Facebook followers, which is still a head-scratcher considering the number of gun owners in PA (and is not the same as active organization membership), and haven’t posted anything this year but a “Happy New Year” message, with nothing about what is going on at the municpal, state, and federal level.

You could come up with similar dismal analyses for Pennsylvania Gun Rights, GOA-Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania Firearms Association, leading me to ask in my piece, “And for that matter, why is it so hard to find any information on any Pennsylvania pro-2A groups alerting their members to mobilize against Fitzpatrick?”

In fairness, such groups can only do so much with most gun owners not picking one and supporting it, and with (generously) 10% of the members doing 90% of the work.

Back to the first comment: It’s not that there’s nothing PA gun owners can do about it. Of course there is. It’s just that most won’t try.

My greatest failure as an armed citizens advocate is I’ve never figured out what to do about that.

New Bump Stock Ban: Fitzpatrick Gets Away with Gun Grabs Because Republicans Allow It

The GOP needs to understand, in no uncertain terms, that embedded Democrats are unacceptable, and the Party must do a better job of reining in politicos who want to go left. [More]

Donald Trump should instruct Party shakers and movers to find an acceptable replacement and give enemy-in-the-gates Fitzpatrick the boot.

The Disarm Veterans Roll Call

[More]

Ask me how I knew he would be the one Republican…

Sit on your hands in his race, PA Dist. 1 gun owners– yes, his Democrat opponent is a gun-grabber, but what difference does it make when he’s a Giffords endorsee? You need to show the GOP that if they don’t field acceptable candidates they can feel out pain.

And Thank You for Your Service

Last night, the House voted on the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, which passed 228-206. [More]

Guess who the lone Republican “Noe” came from.

Go on, guess.

As long as there’s a Democrat Senate and President, this bill’s going nowhere. Still, it may be useful to clue in voting veterans who aren’t kneejerk Democrats.

Republican Holdouts on Pistol Brace Vote Point to Larger GOP Problem

With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]

If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?

Report Says NRA ‘A+’ Rated McCarthy Raising Funds for Giffords-Endorsed Fitzpatrick

That makes it fair to ask why Kevin McCarthy, the beneficiary of an A+ rating and endorsement from the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund, is reportedly going out of his way to raise major bucks for someone who is undermining everything about the Second Amendment we’re told he believes in. [More]

At the very least, we ought to find out if the reports are true.

‘Bipartisan’ Gun Controller Fitzpatrick Shows Why Being “Republican’ is Not Enough

And based on supporting candidates like party switch-hitter Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, Tom Ridge, and Brian Fitzpatrick, a critical mass of Pennsylvania Republicans is demonstrably willing to throw gun owners under the bus in exchange for the false promise of “less government.” They’re the useful idiot “bourgeoisie” the Democratic Socialists are counting on being asleep. This also explains why disarming them is such a priority. [More]

With “Republicans” like Fitzpatrick, who needs Democrats?

Gun Owners Voting for GOP Betrayers Only Encourage More of the Same

They can say the hell with it and vote for the Democrat gun-grabber to demonstrate that “moderate” Republican traitors are unacceptable, and until the rest of the party and Fudds for Fitzpatrick learn that, they can just feel our pain. [More]

With “Republicans” like these, who needs Democrats?
