Turning the Tide
Texas Gun Owners Turn On Cornyn, Petition Trump Not To Endorse His Re-Election [More]
I’d say it was Cornyn who turned on them.

No Qualifier Necessary
The No-Compromise Gun Lobby?
20+ Pro-Gun Wins By Trump So Far [Watch]
Yeah, about that…
It looks like comment posters aren’t buying it.
Careful, GOA. Credit where due is appropriate, but you don’t want to come across too strongly as cheerleading apologists.

Speaking of Seditious Conspiracy…
Illinois gov calls for mass protests against Trump admin: GOP ‘cannot know a moment of peace’… JB Pritzker described Trump and those he has tapped as ‘an affront to every value this country was founded upon’ [More]
Right. They’d have been fine with criminalizing armed citizens and cutting the d!cks off posterity. And by “those he has tapped,” don’t forget yourself if you voted for Trump over Kamala.
Imagine if Trump had said that on J6– it would have been a slam dunk conviction. So, will how much responsibility will this tub of goo bear should predictable Democrat passions prevail on a national scale?
Now imagine his presidential aspirations materializing. I guess at least we’d figure out how serious most gun owners are.
No Pain No Gain?
…but the pain is necessary first if the Administration is to achieve its goals of driving out illegal and legal foreign labor… [More]
Dude, where did you get that idea?
Or as my 2 ½-year-old granddaughter has just started saying, “Oh, come on!“
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
About ‘Our Beautiful Second Amendment’…
Trump administration says machine guns aren’t protected by Second Amendment [More]
Juxtapose that against this.
Either Jennifer Case didn’t get the memo or we have another inevitable embarassment that comes from leaving gun owners out of the “Task Force.”
Then again, if the position is not retracted, there’s a third possibility:

Follow the Bouncing Ball
Trump Keeps Talking About Bringing Back Self-Deported Illegals – What Is He Thinking? [More]
Trump to NRA
As much as I criticize the guy and believe he specializes in self-aggrandizement over sincerity, I can’t argue that he has initiated unprecedented actions and more are on the way. All those actions will ultimately prove temporary and reversible if the Republicans can’t get their act together, and part of that problem is on us as gun owners, and how involved we’re willing to get pressing them to do the right thing.
And I gotta ask: Bob Barr?
But I Have Promises to Keep, and Miles to Go Before I Sleep
“I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases,” Trump said, to scattered cheers during a campaign rally on Thursday night. “My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.” [More]
Don’t get too excited. He said that nine years ago.

Speaking of Career Limiters…
Of Little Consequence
Alito’s right to warn: Court’s knee-jerk habit of slapping Trump will cost it dearly [More]
How? With “uncongenial” judicial appointments?
We’ve already established that tough confirmation questions are off limits. And don’t count the Democrats out for a comeback.
Wake me when there are real costs, and a means to exact them.

Lies of Omission
Who can reply? Accounts @Everytown follows or mentioned can reply [More]
The comment restriction is one way cowardly liars can keep from being ratioed.
Naturally, they left out all of what he said. And that the FSU maniac who exploited a “gun-free zone” got the gun from his cop mom.

We’re the Only Ones Terroristic Enough
After the raid, Humphrey submitted a probable cause statement on the ATF and requested Oklahoma’s attorney general file charges for extortion, terroristic threats and disabling security equipment during the course of a crime… Humphrey, the vice chair of the House Public Safety Committee and a 30-year law enforcement officer, wrote in the letter that the state’s attorney general lacked the courage to protect his citizens. Therefore, Humphrey is asking the president to consider filing charges against the ATF, granting a presidential pardon to Fincher and forcing the ATF to return Fincher’s firearms. [More]
“Terrorist” is a notch above “JBT,” and wholly appopriate when you consider the right they’re trampling. This business of the dogs still not being leashed has special meaning to those of us who have been trying to get the government to do just that since before Fast and Furious.

Speaking of Inclusiveness…
President Donald Trump announced that conservative commentator Mark Levin, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters and former NYPD detective Bo Dietl will serve on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. [More]
So, why can’t he do one for the Second Amendment?

And By Trump, Musk, and ICE, He Means You
A Butler, Pennsylvania man was charged with making threats of murder and assault against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, among others. [More]
Butler? Is there something in the water there..?
I’d say tell Donie, but that pudgy Irish f_k knows exactly what he’s doing.
Say, shouldn’t all those gushing “gunfluencers” be celebrating our diversity?

Make America Objective Again
Trump is Even Touching Hollywood [More]
Why is it the only question I can think to ask is “spits or swallows”?
When Mel Gibson was asked about 2A, he hemmed and hawed and called it “prickly.” Stallone at least took an unequivocal stance, declaring ““Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have.”
TIS is possibly even more destructive than TDS because it rationalizes, gives a pass on betrayals, divides, and impedes. It’s our duty to call out, condemn and defy opportunistic political duplicity. Otherwise, we get more.
Admiring the emperor’s new clothes when they’re nonexistent is delusional. The only way we win is with the truth, and if that means letting Professor Harold Hill know we’re on to him and he’d better deliver on the instruments and band uniforms he sold us on, so be it.
By all means, praise and defend him when he does right. Just don’t be afraid to point out when he does wrong, especially because see-no-evil gun owners might get mad at you.
Flattery Will Get You Everywhere…?

“We’re honored to have Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan, great state of Michigan. And, she’s been — she’s really done an excellent job. And a very good person,” Trump said. [More]
As opposed to Thomas Massie, who he called “a third rate Grandstander”?
How are we supposed to take anything he says seriously and sincerely?
The Reputation They’ve Earned
Another Fed Op? Former CIA Officer Says Ryan Routh Was Almost Certainly Speaking with FBI Agent Before Attempted Trump Assassination — There is NO WAY to Justify Him Getting on Golf Course with Rifle [More]
The pity of stories like this is thinking people can’t automatically dismiss them, and our receptiveness to entertaining the worst is on the FBI.

That is, killing you.
