Notes from the Resistance
Far Left Anti-Billionaire Group Linked to Bernie Sanders Endorses Billionaire Tom Steyer for Governor of California [More]
The issue never really matters– those are just hooks to bring in disgruntled pawns. The cause célèbre always takes a back seat to the greater goal of conquest through subversion.
When that’s won, the useful idiots will get what’s coming to them.
One Percenter Steyer, of course, wants you disarmed.
He sure is keeping his security measures close to the vest.

I spoke with him in detail a few days back and submitted the results of our talk to Firearms News. My editor tells me it will be online either today or tomorrow and has gotten in under the wire to make the print version, going to press Monday and should in subscriber mailboxes/on news stands for several days before the primary.
I didn’t really know that much about him or what to expect in terms of how deeply and sincerely he would walk the talk, but I gotta say, my conclusion is we’re dealing with the real deal, we’re dealing with someone who doesn’t need to put himself out there for all the crap he’ll have to put up with, and we’re dealing with someone we’ll be damn fortunate to have in office, especially after enduring the wretched likes of Kass-Itch and the bipolar Mike DeWine.
Add in Vivek Ramaswamy declaring ““The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up” while working to bring in a demographic that is 83% anti-gun, and readers here know how I feel about that.
If you’re an Ohio (or any other state) gun owner who agrees with me, you’ve gotta see what’s in it for you by spreading the word, getting out the vote, and supporting his campaign with much-needed donations. (I just made out a check he’ll get next week because of the Win-Red processing fee. And in the interest of disclaimers/disclosures, I hadn’t made up my mind to do this until after I’d submitted the mag article for publication.)
Tangentially-Related UPDATE
I couldn’t help juxtaposing watching him handling those guns with this bit of Republican phoniness designed to suck in the gunrubes:
He answered the Ohio Gun Owners survey:
A colleague noted whose they did not:
OGO removed the comment.
I did try to give Putsch the benefit of the doubt:
Unfortunately, he didn’t answer any of our questions. Realizing that political campaigns can be all consuming, Firearms News will issue an update if he does.
That said, I expect I’ll vote for Putsch in the primary, although based on my track record at picking political winners, candidates probably shouldn’t want me to.

Or should gun owners push for Putsch?
Steve Hilton, a legal immigrant and political newcomer running as a Republican for governor of California, said the “absolute failure on every front” by current Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats means the GOP has a real shot at pulling off an upset in the Golden State. [More]
And he appears to understand 2A…
So are my critics right, and will I have to eat my words?
This “anecdote and isolated example” aside, it’s on them to show how legal immigrants who become naturalized citizens will vote our way gun issues, because the polls I’ve found say they overwhelmingly vote against us.
Plus, the California vote is hardly a lock and urban populations will decide it.
Then again, sometimes I wonder why I bother.
Trump endorses Bruce Blakeman in New York governor’s race after Rep. Stefanik’s exit [More]
I somehow missed the whole drama, including her leaving after he sat on his hands.
So who is this “Republican conservative” with the Don’s seal of approval?
When it comes to gun control, he’s pretty much in lock step with Hochul [More]
And he’s a big proponent of “gun-free zones.”
Meanwhile, he wants to torpedo Thomas Massie.
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.

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.
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.

What else would we expect from an Abigail Spanberger supporter?

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.
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?”
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.
