Shaky Foundation

NRA Foundation Files Opposition Motion in Reply to NRA’s Request for Summary Judgment [More]

What a rabbit hole.

In terms of whose side I’m on, these people made themselves irrelevant to what’s important to me a long time ago when I decided finding my own way instead of group efforts run by compromisers was what kept me going. The only reason I’m interested in this story is to watch John’s reporting thoroughness as he explores and unfolds – I like watching how he does it and puts it all together.

Gun Owners Had It in Their Power to Defeat Virginia Redistricting at the Polls

Clearly, had more Republicans and gun owners been engaged and voted, the results – and the resulting dangers they pose in terms of “gun laws,” would have been very different. [More]

If Democrats have their way, “Close, but no cigar” will morph into “Close, but no guns.”

After Action Report

Bearing Arms contributor John Petrolino joins Cam with a first-hand report from the NRA Annual Meetings in Houston, Texas, including some new changes to the leadership structure. [Watch]

It’s probably a good thing I couldn’t go. I’d have put every one of the “Voices of the Second Amendment” (and any officer and director I ran across) on the spot to take the challenge Cam never responded to after I’d taken his.

Such a Deal!

NRA’s partnership with @LoxandLoadedLlc is helping expand access to training, education, and community-based self-defense. [More]

That’s terrific. I approve.

Now detail the plane and resources you and your partners are effecting and expending to out-influence the bagel brains, counter the dominant influencers, and reverse that 79% ratio.

Because we know what ADL is telling them.

Maybe in a generation or two…?

You Can Look But Don’t Touch

U.S. Military Unveils “Drone Killer” Rifle Cartridges[More]

Let me guess: Standing army only, and the militia of the whole people need not apply…?

You’d think a “single issue” Second Amendment organization would have something to say about that.

For some reason the link I embedded now says page can’t be found, but I can still access it:

I got the link via email, so perhaps it’s restricted to members…?

Bissful Ignorance

Establishment Democrats fend off far-left influencer…Kat Abughazaleh… She lost to Daniel Biss, the mayor of Everston, Ill., and a former state lawmaker. [More]

So, someone who is running on a platform to “Repeal the Second Amendment” is considered an “establishment Democrat” and representative of what Everytown/Moms Demand consider “commonsense gun safety laws?”

Told ya.

He’s doing the Safety Dance.

There’s no giving an inch to these lying tyrant wannabes. You’d think NRA’s “A+ rated and endorsed” rated John Cornyn would understand that.

A Stitthead Republican

A Stitt Storm: Oklahoma Governor Under Fire for Saying Dems Don’t Want to Turn Illegal Aliens Into Voters [More]

He and his business backers have hundreds of millions of reasons.

Who you gonna believe? A pandering Vichycon or your lying eyes?

Cheap labor Republicans are every bit the enemy pathway to citizenship Democrats are — and even more insidious, because they use our votes against us.

As long as NRA covers for weasels like this, gun owners are going to get sold out. How long do they think industry protections are gonna last under Democrats?

Reduced Capacity Magazines

Bill Bachenberg, NRA President, Addresses Magazine Distribution … the focus is shifting with current trends and the new generation of gun owners are living in a digital world. [More]

A trend that carries deficiencies of its own… and leads to a lack of independent exploration and critical thinking when limited to watching videos.

On Regaining Trust

We live in a time of hyper skepticism. Folks in leadership roles who do not grasp that simple but very relevant concept are destined for failure. NRA needs to be very forthcoming on information concerning any changes to Bylaws well in advance of the formal process. If you do not get the membership on your side you feed the conspiracy mills and once going they are hard to stop. [More]

Good and perceptive comment to my latest…

Along with that, I hope they drop two words from all member appeals.

Rest assured.

Proposed Change to NRA Bylaws Raises Concerns about Member Rights and Law

Why not include members who will be directly affected in that discussion, especially since the focus of “NRA 2.0” is represented as being about transparency and renewed commitments to integrity? [More]

Keeping members informed and soliciting their input on matters of importance should be standard operating procedure for the Board.
