Notes from the Resistance
Yet the NRA under LaPierre was instrumental in urging its members to give power to politicians they knew would end up working against them, and then either acted surprised when it happened or just ignored it when it did. [More]
Ever notice how those who say “Politics is the art of the possible” are always counseling appeasement instead of pushing envelopes to see what’s really possible…?
But at one point, he indicated that LaPierre — whose public persona was that of a populist firebrand — had concerns about the optics of using NRA funds for travel on a private jet. [More]
That someone was clandestinely recording this tells us much.
And if you don’t leave any openings, there won’t be any openings to take.

SAF FILES SCOTUS AMICUS BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF NRA 1st AMENDMENT SUIT [More]
It’s not just the Second Amendment Democrats hate.
The resignation of Wayne LaPierre on the eve of the trial in New York has generated letters to Judge Joel Cohen from both sides. In addition, the pre-trial memorandum containing the NRA’s trial brief seems to throw Wayne under the bus after three plus years of defending him. [More]
A lot more than Wayne will have to end up under those wheels if they ever hope to restore any credibility.
I’m hearing rumors that they may be looking to had the reins over to Lautenberg Bob. If they really want to kill it dead, I can’t think of a better way.

Voters paying attention could have seen Cheney’s malleable self-serving loyalties coming by the company she keeps. In 2009 she partnered with Bill Kristol to found Keep America Safe, a nonprofit advocate for Bush–Cheney national security positions. Kristol is the Never Trumper who has called Democrats “foolish” and “cowardly” for not demanding more infringements, declaring “I don’t think [Americans] have a right to semi-automatic, quasi-machine guns that can shoot a hundred bullets at a time,” and asserting the “lazy” white working class should be replaced by “new Americans.” [More]
Yet another reason why gun owners trusting NRA grades without doing their own due diligence so often end up feeling swindled and used…
Wayne LaPierre announces resignation as NRA chief – LaPierre’s resignation takes effect Jan. 31 [More]
I have to wonder what deal he cut to cover his legal costs and induce him to loosen his fingers.
School shootings increase NRA donations [More]
Not “prohibitionist feeding frenzies”…?
But never let that get in the way of “agenda science.”

And separate him from legal defense funds.
That’s why he’s been hanging on for dear life.

“[b]ased on questions received from the public, [the “public” was AmmoLand News’ David Codrea] [More]
I appreciate the editorial insert.
I never could get those folks to acknowledge my stuff on their own.
Sen. Whitney Westerfield, R-Fruit Hill, will introduce the Crisis Aversion and Rights Retention Orders bill, or CARR, in the 2024 legislative session… [More]
“Fruit Hill“…
Another Never Trumper Vichycon…

NRA Foundation Feeling The Legal Hurt, Too [More]
I’m wondering what the tax implications of funneling from a 501(c)3 to a 501(c)4 are and if anything could blow back on the donors…
Maybe it’s a dumb question, but if the tax code was easy to understand I wouldn’t have to ask it.
In a case of politics making strange bedfellows, the National Rifle Association will be represented by frequent nemesis the American Civil Liberties Union in an appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]
So naturally, a Demanding Mom implies NRA is worse than KKK.

NRA has done something good, so it won’t hurt us to recognize that. Spreading this video far and wide can help promote RKBA and challenge prohibitionist lies. That includes throwing it in the faces of gun-grabbing Democrats in reply to their idiotic social media posts.
It needs to be followed up with a strong “Now Stop Voting for Democrats!” message, because that needs to change not just anecdotally, but dramatically.

Sen. Gillibrand said Monday that new federal gun legislation has allowed authorities to prosecute hundreds of gun traffickers. [More]
Is it out of line to ask what “allows” the legislation?
Here’s the tax-funded propaganda the “real reporter” parroted from. And here’s the “report,” which on first glance appears to unintentionally confirm John Lott’s conclusions that concentrated Democrat crime areas do not justify blanket citizen disarmament.
And is Kirsten ever going to show us the answers she gave NRA when she was lying to them for an endorsement?

New York Gun Law: NRA Wins Compensation in Supreme Court Ruling [More]
How do you read the full story? I only see a headline, a clickbait slideshow and a summary description.
I had the same problem with another link someone sent me.
I guess the answer is just avoid MSN, and in this case, it looks like they’re riffing off almost two-month-old news.
Judge Phil Journey, Rocky Marshall, Dennis Fusaro, and [myself] Jeff Knox have all secured enough petition signatures from NRA Voting Members to have our names on the ballot in the 2024 Director Election… [More]
So, which one of you guys want to either provide responsive answers to my challenge or admit the “single issue” connection and tell us what you’re going to do about it?
As the NRA fades, a more zealous US pro-gun group rises as a lobbying power [More]
Well, that’s what happens when you keep pushing.
Look now for the violence monopolists to try and destroy GOA leaders.
They’re probably too stupid to realize that will just motivate even more zealous gun owners.
