Notes from the Resistance
Suddenly I found myself wondering if I should write this story at all. If doing so would put my sources—gun-loving trans people in Trump’s America—in danger. [More]
That’s entirely on them.
Tell me again how “diversity” is a big win for “our side,” as opposed to just some leftist sympathizer trainer$.

In my analysis, guns resist simple categorization as either universally good or bad, dangerous or protective, fun or frightening. Instead, they are best under-stood through a “kaleidoscopic view,”considering the issue from multiple angles. To be sure, this requires maintaining a clear-eyed understanding of the lethal capabilities of firearms. [More]
Some of us have a clear-eyed understanding that sees through fabricated distortions.
That’s why we insist on “shall not be infringed.”
And reject kaleidoscopic views of gun owners as a panacea.

A Baltimore city preacher now carries a gun and has a uniformed armed guard at his church after being attacked three times. [More]
How does he vote and influence his congregants?

What did sales really tell us, anyway?

In contrast to the dominant scholarly approaches, which focus on gun deviance and harm, I find there is more to firearms than criminal violence, injury and death; more to gun owners than straight white men; and more to gun culture than democracy-destroying right-wing politics. [More]
If not for “straight white men” and “right-wing politics,” you wouldn’t have any guns, you fool.
I’ve written about his DEI “gun culture” before, and rather than unifying us, as he either delusionally believes or pretends to believe for an agenda, it’s a divide-and-conquer tactic, aided and abetted by Democrat-enabling trainers: Remember, with “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day.

We’re supposed be influenced by a statistically insignificant sample of losers and apply that judgment to young people, such as those involved in NRA Youth Interests programs…[More]
Half the article is just deconstructing the first sentence of this nonsense, it’s crammed with so much wrong. So naturally, the media runs with it and amplifies it.
…and yet now I have a nagging feeling like I’m doing something wrong. Like I’m somehow putting myself and my partner at risk by having a gun in the house. [More]
I’ve never understood “gunfluencers” who think Democrats buying one is some sort of victory for “our side”…

“Today’s gun owners are representative of America because they come from every part of American society. We don’t all look the same or talk the same, but we share the very important idea that safe and lawful firearm ownership is our right.” [More]
We don’t all vote the same either, do we, Joe?
And define “lawful.”
It’s not about guns. It’s about freedom.

Growing Number of Black Gun Owners Should Shatter Stereotypes [More]
Wake me when they shatter the VOTING stereotype.
That said, kudos on maintaining an equitable capitalization standard throughout the text.

Guns are not just for conservative white men [More]
Don’t tell us– tell the Democrats.
Yamane is the guy behind “Gun Culture 2.0,” basically a subtle way to get gun owners to help divide and conquer by thinking it’s about guns instead of freedom, and never questioning how noobs vote and the impact that has on all our rights.
[Via Andy M]
The amount of gun owners not registed to vote, it’s like 10 million… [Watch]
Yeah, well… and then there’s these guys…
Not to mention “Profiles in Apathy” and TINVOWOOTers…
If anyone can figure out a way to inspire differently, please share the elusive secret.

Judas goat Greg Lickenc…uh…brock carries on the contemptible betrayal of fellow gun owners exemplified by Ryan Busse and a cavalcade of gunkapos.
It’s fair to ask what kind of idiot/mole/embedded enemy (pretends to or actually falls) for solidarity with “Gun Culture 2.0” or 97Percent.

While the case could be made that you need to start people out slowly and get them to dip their toes into the pool and splash around a bit before wading into deeper waters, couching the Second Amendment exclusively in “self-defense” terms limits the right and invites infringements. And Cox has supported plenty of those in his tenure at NRA. [More]
He’s right about the need. But is he the right person for the job?

You gotta wonder how many of these people are going to fall right back into old voting habits.
That’s why I caution against getting too ecstatic.
