Red Jamie says turn in your guns. And no, you don’t get to vote on it.
Strategic Retreats for Long-Term Gains:
Smith compared the temporary concessions in the gun rights battle to strategic retreats in warfare. For instance, the controversial bump stock ban by Trump was a tactical move to prevent a broader legislative redefinition of machine guns, which could have had far-reaching negative consequences for gun owners. [More]
Prove that’s what he did. Show us the contemporaneous evidence he was giving a master class in 3D chess, that was always his intent, and he could predict the outcome so it was OK to put so many at risk without their knowledge or consent.
I don’t do this to subvert election chances or to get people mad at me. I do it because by viewing politicians with realistic expectations, gun owners will be in a better position to understand where, when and how they may disappoint us once we help them win power, and to insist the “gun rights leaders” endorsing them do everything they can to make sure it’s understood our rights are non-negotiable.

I’m voting for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I want you to vote for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I just think we’ll all be better positioned for whatever happens after they win if we don’t vote for them blindly.
Less than a week after the attempt on Trump’s life, leftists are back to their old habits of trying to tie Trump to fascism. [More]
Now compare what they say to what he said on J6 and is being prosecuted for.

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.
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.
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?

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.
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.

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.
‘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.

I’ve heard of “slippery slope” arguments, but this is ridiculous.
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.
