governor - The War on Guns

Casey at the Bat

I like this guy’s style and outlook. He’s got a good handle on just about everything.

I’d feel better if his platform actually mentioned what I consider to be the most important indicator for freedom– yeah, I see the photo when you scroll to the bottom of him with a Fudd gun, but some of us need more than that.

Like more of this.

I included an overview of Vivek’s 2A position here. It’s unproven how serious he would be about matching the rhetoric with actions.

I wonder if Casey Putchz would be willing to answer some questions.

We could always ask…

Welcome to the Party, Pal

Rep Tom Tiffany said, ‘I’ll preserve our Wisconsin values, just like my mom does with her pickles’ [More]

NRA says he’ll preserve more than that:

Let’s hope so. Because retiring Tony Evers was a disaster, as will be whomever the Democrats choose.

If fellow Republican contestant Josh Schoemann has any “proven reforms” on 2A, he doesn’t appear to feel they’re worth mentioning.

Another GOP contender, former Navy SEAL Bill Barrien says he’ll support permitless carry. I do wish though, that he and other gun owners would do away with the “Second Amendment is my permit” meme.

It’s not, never was, and the contention itself is dangerous.

Speaking of Brewing Civil Wars…

Renner believes he may have the “unifying” message conservative voters are looking for. [More]

If that message includes stabbing gun owners in the back and then acting like they have no one else to vote for, look for a lot of them to sit on their hands and prepare for the real civil war a Democrat victory ambitious Quislings like this are making inevitable.

Speaking of Democrat Text, History, and Tradition…

Furor Erupts Over Liberal White Woman’s Racist Sign to Protest VA Gov. Candidate Winsome Sears [More]

What else would we expect from an Abigail Spanberger supporter?

And apparently a paid one…

New Jersey Governor’s Race Gives Gun Owners a Choice

Being one of the worst states in the union for eviscerating the Second Amendment, there’s much to be said on having the ear of a governor with veto power. [More]

True, hardly a perfect one. Still, the differences between the two are many, and this is New Jersey, after all.

Gun Owners Could Publicly Put ‘Former Republican’ Jolly on Spot for Betraying Them

So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]

Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”

Spanberger’s Attacks on 2nd Amendment Should Galvanize Gun Owners to Unite Against Her

If elected governor, Spanberger threatens to enact every infringement that comes across her desk, whereas Earle-Sears will serve as a veto bulwark against Democrat excesses. [More]

Virginia gun owners have a clear choice. Less clear is how much they’re willing to do about it.

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.
