The Blue Path
Another of the interminable political spam texts just received:
Yeah, we know Husted’s a squish.
We also know the election will be binary and from how much he’s got to spend and all credible polling, Redpath knows that too, so he knows his run is a spoiler and everything he takes away will work in “Gun Sense Candidate” Sherrod Brown’s favor.
And as for his being such a 2A pal, he also knows his suicidal immigration platform will undo it all:
The same goes for “straightforward and clear lawful path to citizenship” Governor candidate Donald Kissick, whose run will only benefit Everytown pick Amy Acton.
Then again, how can we blame them if our own “gun influencers” refuse to admit the truth?

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
ATF Director Robert Cekada said Leider tendered his resignation, and he has accepted it. Mr. Leider will return to the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University as an Assistant Professor of Law. No other reasons were given for the resignation. [More]

According to Her Nature
Trump-backed Alaska candidate blasts ‘so-called Republican’ Murkowski for endorsing Dem -Sen Lisa Murkowski crossed party lines to endorse Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins [More]
Oh, but Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkinsis a Fudd-approved “moderate” on guns… just like these other Democrats!

‘Yes on 9’ Prohibition Extension Effort Relying on False Authority and Deception
Auchincloss packs sophistry and outright deception in a brief 30 seconds intended to spook the ignorant and swindle them into ceding not just their rights to the state, but those of their countrymen. [More]
Gun-grabbing Democrat politicians have the advantage of knowing anyone suckered enough to vote for them will be too ignorant and indoctrinated to realize they’re being manipulated and lied to.
Catch-22
“Under current Ohio law, Ohioans wishing to own or use a short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun or firearm suppressor must register those items with the federal government or face the risk of criminal prosecution. If that reflects the policy of this legislature, so be it….” [More]
The Ohio GOP is aware there are midterms coming up, right?
“So be it”…???
This Wilson character continues to impress me as being a lump.

Communism 101
Trump’s corporate stakes are a gift to the next Democratic president …The Trump administration has now announced or completed deals to take ownership stakes in 40 private companies… And yet congressional Republicans, who never miss a chance to tag Democrats as socialists and communists, have collectively done nothing to stop the Trump administration. [More]
What’s it called again when “the collective” controls the means of production…?
That certainly complicates my argument that it’s important to vote against socialists.
Relevant comment for 2A advocates to consider:
Can you trumpers imagine the US government owning 45% stock in all of the gun companies.
They’d sure cause more disruption than a handful of Marxist nuns.
Survey SAYS…
Polls Show Electorate’s Interest in Gun Control Waning [More]
What a bunch of wishful thinking happy talk. The perception of importance will change with the next high profile shooting and resulting media emphasis based on who the shooter is.
The question to ask is “How many support gun control and how many oppose it?”

‘Smart Politics,’ Death-Thirsting Republican Style
Ralph Norman: ‘My family is not going to vote for Darline Graham’ [More]
No doubt about it, Darline is not a choice many of us would have made, but at least on guns she appears reliably managed, whereas opponent Annie Andrews will be a rabid grabber of the first order.
So, if not for personal sour grapes, why would a NAGR endorsee feel it necessary to make that known in a close race?
What We Want vs. What We’ve Got
Vivek Ramaswamy has a message for BFA supporters [Watch]
I have my reasons for being wary (and for having supported a different candidate in the primary).
That said, the ultimate issue for me is 2A. If Vivek wins, I believe he will be marginally more persuadable than Amy Acton will be on issues where we diverge.
When he does, I’ll do what I can to push back, noting my strongest opposition will be from myopic/deliberately indifferent “gun influencers.”
Justin Time
A New Jersey attorney and former municipal official who made waves during his debate with Sen. Cory Booker, D-N. J., said his unscripted style may be the secret sauce to making history and ending a Republican Senate drought in New Jersey that stretches back more than half a century. [More]

It’s needed.
And it’s reflection on the shallowness of so many gun owners that it is.
Making the Grade
Everytown Bankrolling Democrats in Midterms Could See Virginia Results Repeated Nationwide
For all the noise about Republicans being the “party of the rich” and Democrats being the “party of the workin’ man,” you wouldn’t know it from the top 10 midterm money-raisers, nine of whom are Democrats, and all of whom have gun-grabber blessings. [More]
I hear all kinds of reasons why not to vote, but none on how things will be objectively better for gun owners if the Democrats win.
The Silence of the Vichycons
We have an unfortunate trend this year in Republicans without gun-related voting records failing to return surveys, even in open seat races in the “tossup” category. If that applies to candidates in your district, contact them and ask why they failed to return GRNC’s survey despite having two opportunities to submit it. [More]
Way to stoke the fire in those gun owner bellies so they’re primed to vote, death-thirsters!
This is why they’re called the Stupid Party.
Today’s Five-Minute Activism
That’s what Mobilize A Million exists to make possible on a larger scale: a million Americans checking their own voter records, learning how election administration works where they live, getting practical tools and training, and then turning to help the person next to them do the same. It’s yeoman’s work. And it doesn’t hurt to remember that this country was built by yeomen… [More]
Take the first step: Check your record, make sure it’s right, and consider that any gaps played right into enemy hands.
