The “reformed” NRA has no intention of answering:
Stark Naked Avoidance

A ‘Pro-Gun Democrat’
In a 2016 interview, Latin Grammy Award-winning artist and Democratic congressional candidate Bobby Pulido defended a fellow singer against criticism for a graphic music video that depicted acts of sexual violence and murder. In the video production of “Fuiste Mía” or “You were mine” by Gerardo Ortiz, a singer walks in on his girlfriend cheating on him. After shooting her lover, he then handcuffs her to a pole, blindfolds her, and gropes her before putting her in the trunk of his car and setting it on fire. [More]
Hey, what’s the big deal? He’s “one of us” isn’t he?
That must be why he embraces this guy:
If shooting guns were the only criteria, we’d have no better pal than Lon Horiuchi.
Based on who else they help attain political power, there ARE no “Pro-Second Amendment” Democrats.
Which makes me wonder what the hell NRA is doing endorsing one after she had come out for Joe Biden. Have they learned nothing with Kirsten Gillibrand? John Dingell? Hary Reid? Jon Tester? Bart Stupak…?
Another Stark Reminder
Received via email:
He wants to know and he still hasn’t gotten back to me on this…?
I’d like to know before I show up to promote the keystone right only to be told I can’t be armed if I need to go inside any buildings… and for the “reformed” NRA with pledges of a new transparency, it looks like the same old avoidance/ignoring of unwanted questions persists.
A Stark Reminder
Received via email:
And remember, you will be doing these things at the Stark County Fair, a family-friendly community event with something for everyone. [More]
I asked them if they had something for me:
For the record, will I be able to lawfully carry a firearm there, including in enclosed buildings?
What is NRA doing about existing bans?

I’ll let you know if they reply.
Talk About a Slanted Take…
A Woman Lost Two Partners to Guns—Then the N.R.A. Came to Collect [More]
So, is the woman-championing New Yorker suddenly questioning a woman’s right/competency to choose life partners? And are a man’s dying wishes not to be honored?
As far as overall numbers…
And let’s not forget the Only Ones prohibitionists say should have guns…
Great “real reporting” there, DSM flack Mike Spies…

NRA and Foundation Feud Levels Up: Partial Dismissals and Countersuit [More]
John Petrolino updates us on a bitter divorce and custody battle.
I can’t help but think they have the resources for this but said they didn’t do do what was needed to mobilize Virginia voters.
Realistically, who wants to throw money into this hole?
Can It Get More Inspirational?
Just out of curiosity, how do you square “The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up,” with text, history, tradition and Founding intent recognized in Bruen as being the critical benchmark?

About That ‘New’ NRA…
URGENT ACTION ALERT: BETRAYAL IN CONCORD – YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING SOLD OUT BY THE SENATE AND WEAK-KNEED “PRO-GUN” REPUBLICANS… with the apparent blessing and consent of the NRA’s own State Director Joe LoPorto … this is exactly what happens when the NRA inflates grades for “pro-gun” politicians who talk tough but fold when it counts. [More]
Looks a lot like the old one to me…
Any “Reform Candidates” care to speak up?

It’s ‘Gun Rights Leader’-Approved!
A Florida gun owner says he spent two weeks in jail because the government’s background-check machinery treated an old Kentucky misdemeanor as if it were a felony. [More]
NICS… isn’t that the prior restraint infringement hailed by NSSF as a “real solution,” and “applauded” by NRA…?
Not a Good Look
They seem like reasonable questions for voters to want answers to.
Then again, I thought all mine were, too, and while he answered some, he ignored others.
It didn’t have to be this way.
And once more, NRA shows it has learned nothing:
They’re still smarting over the last time they tried to f_ him over with a fraudulent replacement because they wanted to insert Fix NICS into the reciprocity bill.
Next time NRA begs you for money, tell them you’re sending it to Massie instead.

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…?
