What Does Massie Challenger Gallrein’s Promised 2nd Amendment Support Really Mean?

“What I try to do with these things is show readers a politician will go beyond platitudes and demonstrate an understanding of concerns and developments the constituents are expressing and following”… [More]

The Second Amendment is the sole focus of this article, not any other policy issues or the reasons Trump wants to end Massie’s political career, nor Massie’s reasons for opposing parts of the president’s agenda.

You Get What You Pay For

In a withering critique of Brown’s handling of the case, Smith decried his fellow jurist as an “unskilled magician” caught in an “illogical straitjacket,” who was handing a victory to Democratic billionaire George Soros and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. [More]

Why did Trump nominate him? Why did Abbott stump for the guy? Why did Republicans as a bloc vote to confirm him?

“It’s out of character,” some will say? “It took us by surprise”…?

I’m more of a “When a guy starts hitting his wife he’s been abusing her in other ways for some time” kinda analyzer.

Where the Buck Stops

Since President Donald J. Trump signed the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” executive order in February, his Department of Justice has done exactly the opposite—relentlessly defending the federal government’s unconstitutional gun control regime. Instead of using the Justice Department’s vast power to secure Americans’ right to keep and bear arms, the Trump DOJ has used it to fight against the People—even taking extreme positions in court to resist injunctions that block the government’s enforcement of gun laws that federal judges have already found unconstitutional. [More]

Jeez, I talk like that and get readers telling the magazine if they don’t fire me they’re going to cancel their subscription…

What a refreshing change from all the groups that suck up to the guy afraid that if they get on his wrong side he’s going to call them names.

I wonder how Mark W. Smith is gonna spin this.

Excusing the Inexcusable

And the consequence is it is technically true that a judge like Karen, Judge Karen Immergut from Oregon is technically a Trump appointee to the federal bench. But the reason why she’s a Trump appointee to the federal bench is because the only way to get that seat filled was the two Democrat senators from Oregon had to sign off on her nomination because they were never going to sign off on anyone that’s a conservative. That’s the reality on it. So when you read in the press that another Trump appointee in these anti-gun, anti-American blue states has ruled against Donald Trump, don’t be duped. [Watch]

Anybody see any movement from Trump and Republican senators to explain and try to change that, or are we just supposed to accept that tyranny and treason-enabling “blue slips” are prioritized over the prime directives in the Preamble by the Uniparty’s entrenched political class, and that A-raters will vote for cloture and then for confirmation, no one will be held accountable, and apologists will tell us there’s nothing we can do about it?

What Price Freedom?

AK Loyalists Won’t Admit It, but the Platform Might Be Finished in America… Ammo Prices: The AK’s Last Big Selling Point Is Gone… 5.45×39 has basically dead [sic]in the USA, thanks to import bans and dried-up stockpiles [More]

For some reason this reminds me of an argument I had as a boy: Who would win? Batman or Tarzan? The real question is “Why, in the land of the Second Amendment, are there “import bans”?

Seems to me that Trump could trump Biden. Especially since American gun owners are being punished for the alleged crimes of unknown someones else: “It is believed that Russia is the only known country to have used Novichok and the nerve agent is only available to Russian state authorities.” [Emphasis added]

Take the ammo first, due process later?

And then there’s GCA 68, with “sporting purpose” exemptions for import bans.

Who makes that determination? And who’s their boss?

While gun owners are arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, when it comes to costs responsible for the divide they’re missing the main cause. And you’d think Trump, getting hammered on the economy, would find it useful to give his biggest supporters a price break.

So…. where is the Second Amendment Task Force on this? Where are the “gun groups”? Then again, if they change it the antis would have a field day when one of their constituents shot up the next “gun-free zone” with imported AK rounds.

Is that what we’ll accept as an impediment to our rights that we can’t get around? Because there will be more bloodbaths of opportunity as long as enforced victim pools exist, and if we cede ground here, they’ll occupy it and them move in closer. To argue otherwise is to deny what everyone can see but some, on “both sides,” won’t admit.

No Dog in This Fight

Trump endorses Andrew Cuomo on eve of New York mayoral election: ‘You really have no choice’ [More]

Of course we do.

We will not disarm.

Curious– he’s put more energy into a congenital gun-grabber who told the Republicans he’s now pleading with to “Get out” than he has an unequivocal Second Amendment supporter.

Indementia Jones and the Kingdom in His Crystallized Skull

Harrison Ford says he doesn’t ‘know of a greater criminal in history’ than Trump [More]

In all of history, eh? So that must mean tyrants and war criminals. Someone that evil and genocidal certainly needs to be stopped by any desperate means necessary!

His followers, too.

That oughtta inspire some low-hanging fruit fans!

I trust no one here is surprised by any of this.

Cutting It Close

President Donald Trump is making a final multimillion-dollar investment in Tuesday’s statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, in an effort to turn out MAGA voters who tend to sit out off-year elections when Trump isn’t on the ballot… Republican operatives are tracking down low-propensity GOP voters, and then reaching out to those voters through phone-banking efforts, or through digital and social media targeting ads. [More]

They’re finally getting around to this exact plan? Isn’t asteroid deflection more effective when its farther away?

Especially when it’s a yuge asteroid…?

Let’s hope it’s not too little too late. I guess we’ll know soon enough.

An Earle-Sears VA Loss Could Be a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Show an enemy committed to your destruction you’re not willing to fight to the hilt and don’t expect that to do anything but embolden them. [More]

With a slow fist coming, you’d think more effort would be put into stopping it.

Thumbs Down on Activism

[More]

Too bad, because it’s a knee-jerk assessment on a great comment I agree with, and represents the kind of self-motivated activism I wish more readers would take on themselves to engage in. Otherwise what’s the point of reading the article?

It’s disappointing but hardly surprising. Grudges and squabbles appear to take precedence over unity in purpose and shoulders to the wheel, and that’s got to be encouraging to the antis.

It’s fair to wonder how many of the down-voters — who would be big potential beneficiaries if they helped instead of harassed — spent even so much as the second it took them to click a thumbs down on promoting the Earle-Sears campaign and telling NRA and Trump to get off the stick.

And that’s why I don’t think Trump finally-kinda-sorta coming on board was due to “2A supporters tagging him on X about Virginia.” Nobody has been writing about this but me, and I can tell you from the lack of comments and shares I’ve seen, this has been one of the biggest echo chamber pieces I’ve ever written.

(And yeah, I see comment links don’t scroll you to the exact one and nothin’ I can do about that, but the ones I’m citing are easy enough to find.)

NRA and President Trump Can Determine Whether Virginia Goes to Earle-Sears or the Democrats

Deserving gun owners now want better of President Trump, and it’s not hyperbole to conclude that if he—and NRA—don’t do a lot more, and quickly, Virginia could be lost to the Democrats. [More]

NRA: You owe it to your members to allocate the necessary manpower and funding resources to follow the comprehensive plan you’ve been given. President Trump:You owe it to the gun-owning voters who elected you to put your personal resentments aside and endorse her.

Playing Both Ends Against the Middle

Dimon did not denigrate President Donald Trump. Dimon was not complimentary of President Donald Trump. The JP Morgan CEO believes the U.S. Federal Reserve was doing a good job. In the past, Dimon has skirted questions about JP Morgan Chase Bank’s stance on gun control. It appears he has tried to avoid the issue while pleasing and provoking both Second Amendment supporters and those who want a disarmed population. [More]

I’m an “Apologize, repent, and make things right first” kinda guy.
