Nine Out of Nine Justices Agree
The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously backed the National Rifle Association in a First Amendment ruling that could make it harder for state regulators to pressure advocacy groups. The decision means the NRA may continue to pursue its lawsuit against a New York official who urged banks and insurance companies to cut ties with the gun rights group… [More]

A New Day Dawns at the NRA, Are Reform Efforts Paying Dividends? [More]
Not a word about this, including from comment posters who read it, does not fill me with hope.
I sometimes wonder why I document stuff most aren’t aware of if nobody uses it.
Hogan’s Zeroes
Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan is warning Republicans in Washington, D.C., that he won’t be a reliable vote if Maryland chooses to send him to the Capitol. In a new TV ad aired Tuesday, the former Maryland governor stressed his bipartisan bona fides. “In the Senate, Republicans can’t count on my vote. [More]

NRA-ILA Announces Lawsuit Challenging Delaware’s New Permit-to-Purchase Law [More]
Asking and paying the government for permission to exercise a right… yeah, that’s what the Founders had in mind.
And that law was passed by people who put their hand on a Bible or whatever , raised the other, and swore an oath before God and country.
Figures they’re the ones who gave us Biden.

A Right Delayed
Flip or Flop
Having your bagman flip on you is never a good sign for beating a rap, so I’d say it’s already highly likely Cueller will be going from the House to the big house, especially since a third aide has flipped. [More]
The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) has endorsed Henry Cuellar for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 28th Congressional District of Texas. Henry has a proven pro-Second Amendment record and is committed to protecting our right to self-defense!
How does this not undo all of that?

David Codrea On Bob Barr As NRA President [More]
You’re right, John. No believer in freedom is for domestic violence.
Lautenberg’s not the way to deal with it and an NRA director should know that.

Barr for NRA President Would Prove Association Has Learned Nothing
Telling the audience how he improved a bad bill hardly addressed his assertion that Lautenberg “is strong protection for women and children,” or his claim that his amending language kept it from being “declared unconstitutional.” He then goes on to support the concept of “prohibited persons.” So, the answer is, no, he wouldn’t repudiate his past support and spearhead the effort to repeal it. Instead, he preferred you to be caught in the trap and then go through a Catch-22 appeals process. [More]
More to the point: What’s a gun-grab proponent even doing on the NRA board in the first place?
The Enemies Still Within
Although Brewer represents the gun rights organization, he has also donated thousands of dollars to anti-gun candidates like Beto O’Rourke, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton. [More]
We’ve talked before about bringing mercenaries into inner circles who don’t share principles — including Beto/Hillary/Biden donor Bill Brewer.
And:
AmmoLand News has also been told that former Congressman Bob Barr will be the next President of the NRA. Mr. Barr is currently on the Board of Directors and is the only one that AmmoLand News knows of who has had a negligent discharge of a firearm. According to our sources at the NRA, Mr. Barr is a Brewer loyalist.
It’s time to refresh some memories.

The lobby, and their money, have made their picks. We urge you to vote for the people who care more about you than lobby money. [More]
Just good luck finding them.

THE NRA ENDORSES ANTI-GUNNERS…AGAIN
Mannix has been promoting gun control for 25 years so his vote was to be expected. Charlie Conrad is new at this. His votes have been so egregious his own county party has demanded he resign. What in the world is NRA thinking? Well, they also endorsed Vikki Breese Iverson who was the Republican House Leader when they folded and handed a gun control victory to the Democrats with HB 2005.

It’s what they do. The links I could provide…

That’s Debatable
Contorting, lol. And I never said, or even suggested, any of that. The 3% just objectively proves you were wrong about A+ meaning you always have to be right–it doesn’t imply anything about subjective weights of infringements. [More]
I’m moving the “debate” here because it’s bad form to hijack another man’s post with an argument, because it doesn’t limit me to 280 characters, and because I basically use “advocacy media” to promote my work, so as long as I’m doing it, why limit eyeballs?
The thread with the back-and-forths starts here. My response to this latest:
Not “wrong,” just not expecting you to argue a formal academic scale instead of one of principle. My assumption was you were saying helping Gonzales return to power only counted 3% against a grade of 100. I just didn’t realize what you were talking about because it struck me as so off-topic.
My mistake was accepting your distracting from the real issue with non sequiturs about 3% and age and four terms. It’s simple: Abbot is enabling a Quisling who sold us out to Biden’s tyranny and will predictably do so again. And you’re excusing him and doing so helps the establishment GOP exclude new and principled contenders, with no disincentives. So from my point of view, the one who “always has to be right” is the one evading that reality to instead try and score an irrelevant “gotcha.”
To me, real 2A fidelity means 100%, kind of like the reverse of you can’t be a little bit pregnant. Maybe it means something different to you.
And the “Bipartisan bill” did more than create new opportunities for ATF to destroy lives and kill your fellow gun owners on private sales. They’re extending the net for all it’s worth.
LOL, no. You are welcome to write what you want wherever you want, but I’m under no obligation to obey your unilateral dictates. Have fun with that, though.
