If he wins, think any of the prime violators will admit it?

Trump Donations to Clinton Foundation Add to Gun Owner Concerns
It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
I’m in a discussion on X with someone who claims there’s no difference, a subject I plan to address in greater detail later. My question to him:
Those of us who do recognize these things and are doing what we can with what’s immediately in front of us. The question to you is, besides pointing that out, what should we do with this immediate election coming up? What are you doing?
Consider it also my question to you.
Hatred of Gun Owners and All Things MAGA Nothing New
Here are just a few examples of malevolent wishes from leftist influencers that have been building up—and inciting weak minds—for years. [More]
It’s not just him they hate and would laugh about if killed.
Backstage Pass
Why was he allowed to go on stage until the “potential threat” was cleared?
The director resigning can’t be the end of this, not if they expect suspicions to be quelled.

‘You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within, what looked like a couple hundred yards if that [of the president]. You can’t get in that position with a gun when there’s a president speaking. ‘It cannot be done,’ Alexander insisted.
A fair question: If there was a conspiracy, do those behind it have more power than those investigating?

Hoist with Their Own Petard
Two days later, a bunch of these assholes find out actions have consequences, and after a decade of having it used against them, the right has finally figured out how to use cancel culture themselves. Some of these assholes are now getting outed, and fired by their employers who don’t want the PR nightmare of fucking psychopaths working for them. [More]
Turnabout seems like more than fair play to me.
Which bring me to an idea I had when I saw this pinned tweet from Kathy Griffin:
Remember how many venues dropped her like a hot potato for this?
My guess is it wouldn’t be hard at all to find the X pages for each of the upcoming venues, post it on their feed, and very publicly ask them if they’re ready for the outrage coming their way.
An Open Secret
The programme can now reveal the information was compiled as part of a secretive project aiming to identify millions of gun owners in America who could be targeted with pro-gun rights messages in the lead-up to the 2016 election campaign. [More]
They’re trying to ID gun owners…? Really…?
Unheard of, this business of political campaigns soliciting special interest constituencies!
What the DSM is really trying to do here with this new narrative talking point is sow dissent and advance the meme that the wannabe low-hanging fruit patsy was registered a Republican — without mentioning he donated to a hardcore Democrat operation exploiting PA’s closed primary.

Trump Assassination Attempt Brings New Urgency for RNC to Affirm Support for 2nd Amendment
Giving Trump and the Republicans all the ammo they need to defeat gun grabber arguments is well within the skill set of the newly formed Gun Owners for Trump coalition… [More]
We’ve got to do more than hope his resolve is strengthened. There are people who can help him not just repel attacks on our rights, but promote and advance them with the independents both sides are competing for — if he will let them.
Life in the Bubble
‘I Didn’t See That Coming’: ‘Daily Show’ Correspondent Shocked ‘Black Folks Do F*ck With Trump’ [More]
For all their posturing as urban sophisticates, DSM personalities really are just a bunch of ignorant provincial bigots.
We know what they’re really like– we’ve seen what they say and weigh that against reality. They just know what they’ve been told we’re like, and are conditioned to automatically tune out anything conflicting with the narrative.
That’s an advantage. We’re not shocked by what we expect.
It’s also frustrating as hell, that anyone can be this thick.

The Sport of Whores
All the times Trump’s VP pick JD Vance has attacked him [More]
I went through his pros and cons here and ended on a note of concern:
Firearms News made three attempts to ask Vance if he would be willing to answer some detailed questions about [being a Never ] and about the legislative agenda gun owners should expect to see him pursue. He has chosen not to respond.
You could ask “Who am I?” and you’d be right, but a national magazine reaching a core voting demographic should not be so easy to dismiss. I also worry about who will be picked to replace him, especially since the GOP candidate who will be opposing Ohio’s Democrat communist gun-grabbing senator Sherrod Brown is another “reformed” Never Trumper who laughed at gun owners and asked:
“What kind of gun do you need to have a hundred bullets in it?” Moreno asked. “And are you going to eat a deer that has a hundred bullets in it? Can’t there be some common sense that says that one [gun] is probably out, right, without infringing on someone’s rights? Can’t we have universal background checks?”
If Vance is elected, his replacement will be picked by the bipolar Gov. Mike DeWine.

From the Newsraper of Record
New York Times columnist John McWhorter has shown us this again recently by wishing someone would assassinate Donald Trump. [More]
And remember: Trump is just an avatar for the voters who support the promises he so imperfectly delivers on. If Trump is “a hideous pig of a man,” what must a rabid MAGAite be? And we know what such dehumanization allows.
This genocidal provincial bigot would prefer we all were eliminated. By somebody else, of course.

No matter who the Democrat candidate turns out to be, Trump needs to learn to talk 2A, and it’s up to “Gun Owners for Trump” to demand his ear.
