Elise Stefanik - The War on Guns

Today’s Pre-Election Pandering

To prohibit the imposition of requirements that handguns have certain features generally absent from firearms in common use, and to restore the civil and natural rights of Americans in States hostile to liberty, and for other purposes. [More]

“1% chance of being enacted“

And when Republicans are in a position to actually roll back an infringement…?

Besides: What about arms NOT in common use by any except the standing army because the government won’t allow them to be?

Channeling Her Raging Inner Marxist

Rep. Stefanik’s Democrat opponent slammed for proposing ‘re-education camp’ for Trump supporters [More]

And, of course, they’ll need to disarm them first.

These people just can’t hide who they are, can they?

It should not go unnoticed that at this writing, no Democrat has stepped forward to rebuke her.

Anybody Else See a Disconnect?

Stefanik endorses Trump for president in 2024, as some push him to delay announcement [More]

She’s returning love he gave when she was running for GOP Conference Chair against Rep. Chip Roy, and Trump said:

“Can’t imagine Republican House Members would go with Chip Roy—he has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district. I support Elise, by far, over Chip!”

Not only was he not primaried, he just delivered for the GOP in a landslide, 63% to 37%.

What’s Trump’s signature issue?

Stefanik’s mediocre C+ rating from Numbers USA (up from a D- a few years ago) includes a wholly unacceptable “F” for “Reduce Unnecessary Worker Visas,” an “F-” for “Reduce Refugee and Asylum Fraud,” and a “D+” for “Reduce Illegal Jobs and Presence.”

And she was one of 34 GOP turncoats calling for “DACA amnesty.”

Compare to Roy, with an “A+.” He’s better all around.

I guess not going along to get along was the dealbreaker.

What’s Trump’s signature issue again? Maybe he’d like to take my challenge?

We’ve already established the guy is so good at firing people because he’s so lousy at hiring them. This business of bestowing support based on who’s stroking his ego is going to kill us..

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
