USDA Using Tax Dollars to Pressure Employees on Citizen Disarmament

Might such overt pressure from the very top be construed as creating a hostile working environment for employees who hold different political views? Might expressing those views be reasonably considered career and advancement-limiting, and might not expressing any political views on the taxpayers’ dime, by either side, be considered inappropriate and unethical, especially when coming from management that controls employee reviews? [More]

It’s the moral equivalent of requiring a “bullet fee” from the family of the condemned, and those imposing it get off on that.

UPDATE:

Why did the USDA buy submachine guns? [More]

“Weapons of war”? The better to kill you with, my dear!

McConnell Instruction to Cornyn Hints Where GOP May ‘Compromise’ on Guns

The devil being in the details, “due process” can mean different things, with not all “hearings” providing the same legal safeguards as a jury trial. And that raises questions of concern that haven’t been spelled out. [More]

Anybody who thinks that this squares with “Shall not be infringed” is nuts.

Well, I’m Back

Time off was somewhat restorative, although we both picked up nasty colds that seem to want to stick around (not Wuflu, I tested myself). Getting back into the groove is going to take a bit and I’ve got articles to write and plenty of meatspace chores, so please take it easy on the news tips.

Hopefully, we’ll be fully operational next week.

Now…where to begin…?

Abrams Exploits Constituent Ignorance and Flat-Out Lies About Guns

Who would be ignorant enough to fall for that? Based on results, millions throughout the Republic, citizenship malpractitioners who no longer ask, but demand to know what their country can do for them, voters influenced by emotion over reality and image over substance. [More]

From the party of cognitive dissonance…

I’m Not Alone

As I read some original coverage of a 2A Task Force created by Donald Trump Jr. last week, it left out way too many details to decide exactly what the task force is and how it will work. David Codrea has concerns, too, and suggests some scrutiny is called for. [More]

Yep. Especially when he says they’re going to use it to support candidates and I see some of the inexplicable ones they’re endorsing…

Gun Owners Need More Rules? In This Case, Yes!

“Paul Valone has written a very important primer that helps all of us recognize where we can best fit our talents and goals to beat the control freaks and prohibitionists at their own game, and that makes that first step a lot easier: Read this book. You’ll know what to do next.” [More]

Whether you’re new to advocacy or an old hand at it, this book has good information that we all will benefit from.

New Digs, Same Old Attitude

Welcome to the new home for The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance. I came here because Blogspot, which I had happily used since 2005, decided to “unpublish” an innocuous piece with valid information that somehow ticked a censorship response, and I’m not about to put time into something that someone else can erase without even a means to contest it.

I’m learning how to use this site from scratch so please bear with me. Maybe I’ll get better as time goes by, but truthfully, I’m in this for the commentary and to promote my work, so the tech stuff will take a backseat.
