No Republicans to appear on ballot in 2026 New Mexico Senate election [More]
So what do you do when there really is NVOWOOT?

Meanwhile, Over with the Gelded Elephants…
Date with Destiny
Destiny Wells announces congressional run in Indiana’s 7th district [More]
That and the Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association has fewer Facebook followers than I do (and my limited social media presence is tepid at best), and nothing about her on its website.
I trust no Hoosier gun owners will be surprised when she carries out her threat...
Maybe they think the Republicans will keep them safe…
Hey, I remember this story…
Enemy Strength
Republican women are 14% more likely to own guns than Democrat men. [More]
That may not be a fair metric since one party knows how to define genders. Still, it’s telling.
And it also illustrates why new gun owners are nothing to crow about.
In terms of total numbers, I wouldn’t be starting any civil wars if I were that outgunned…
With ‘Republicans’ Like These…
Trump endorses Bruce Blakeman in New York governor’s race after Rep. Stefanik’s exit [More]
I somehow missed the whole drama, including her leaving after he sat on his hands.
So who is this “Republican conservative” with the Don’s seal of approval?
When it comes to gun control, he’s pretty much in lock step with Hochul [More]
And he’s a big proponent of “gun-free zones.”
Meanwhile, he wants to torpedo Thomas Massie.
The Shape of Things to Come?
Trump warns Republicans they have to win midterms or he’ll ‘get impeached’ [More]
How much responsibility for that will fall on the shoulders of those dousing fire from gunvoter bellies with equivocation, fecklessness, and outright betrayal?
How much of that will fall on him?
Question for TINVOWOOTers: What’s the detailed alternative plan?
The Thinning Margin
House GOP Rep Doug LaMalfa dead at 65 – House Republicans’ majority is now 218 to 213 [More]
He evidently was good on guns.
As I understand it, Newsom will now need to announce a special election. What I don’t know is what effect redistricting will have and what any likely GOP contender is prepared to do for RKBA.
In the Kapu Tradition
Hawaii’s Officials Explain Why They Think They Can Overrule the Second Amendment [More]
Because they haven’t been arrested…?
Don’t look for Hawaii Republicans to be anything but useless.
With Republicans Like These…
The sole Republican candidate running for North Carolina’s 22nd state Senate district is turning heads after donning a Niqab-style face veil in her candidate photo and voting for Democrats in past elections despite her new GOP candidacy. [More]
I haven’t been able to find a campaign website or social media account to nail down her positions.
Ah well, Republicans always have been the Big (Camel’s Nose Under the) Tent Party…
And with NC GOP “leadership,” what difference does it make?
True Colors
“The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up,” he said. [More]
Doubling down, are we?
Not if it’s qualified as being about culturalism. Then it becomes existentially essential.
I’m starting to like this Casey guy more and more.

A ‘Proven Conservative’
GOP Candidate Amy Fennell Wanted to Keep ‘Treasonous Felon’ Trump Out of White House – A series of recent social media posts from Fennell show the Republican candidate blasting Trump while supporting Kamala Harris. [More]
Nope, nothing about RKBA…
Not surprising if she wanted to help enable Kamala to do this…

Elephants Don’t Bray. Jackasses Do.
President warns state Sen Rodric Bray risks losing two potential GOP House seats by blocking congressional map [More]
You’d think someone who brags about an A+ NRA rating wouldn’t have voted against a “constitutional carry” bill.
Then again, why would an unachievable database of prohibited persons poison pill have been inserted, if not to kill the bill? Is that even a correct interpretation? And since it’s not in the law that eventually passed, what happened?
And Who’s Fault Is That?
I see lots of energy spent that encapsulates to: ….”republicans are going to lose the midterms”…. [More]
I’m sorry, but it’s not all due to Vichycons. Much of it is self-inflicted.
Finger-pointing and denial don’t help.

You Get What You Pay For
In a withering critique of Brown’s handling of the case, Smith decried his fellow jurist as an “unskilled magician” caught in an “illogical straitjacket,” who was handing a victory to Democratic billionaire George Soros and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. [More]
Why did Trump nominate him? Why did Abbott stump for the guy? Why did Republicans as a bloc vote to confirm him?
“It’s out of character,” some will say? “It took us by surprise”…?

BREAKING: JD Vance RIPS into Thomas Massie at Turning Point Event [Watch]
Here’s the thing I never hear his critics address:
When he takes a position contrary to what the president and party are pushing, what does the Constitution say?
A Matter of Degree?
Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats’ gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner’s existing rights. [More]
Is “not largely” restricting rights like being a little bit pregnant?
The current is either on or off. How much current there is does not alter that.
Nor does equivocation. Because once you flip that switch, you allow for turning the dial.

Ohio Action Alert
The Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) was shelved last December, and lawmakers have done nothing to advance it in nearly a year. Which means the critical time for action is NOW! … With complete republican control in Ohio, there is no excuse for the lack of pro-gun wins in 2025, so let your elected officials know you are displeased with their lack of support for the Second Amendment. [More]
Yeah we can expect better than redundancy and “Only Ones.”
Spoiler Alert?
“There never was, and never will be, a tenable pathway for Hunt,” they said in the memo. “It’s time for the vanity project that could cost Republicans control of the Senate and dilute our resources to end.” [More]
I dunno– Cornyn is a weasel gun owners will stay home over and Paxton comes with exploitable scandals.
Why don’t they drop out and the Republicans throw everything they’ve got behind a guy who actually gets it?

Oversight or Deliberate?
So why isn’t Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears making the Second Amendment an issue in her campaign? [More]
So much for help us help you. Talk about handing NRA an excuse to drag its feet.
My sense is it’s coming from the Virginia GOP. I base that on Youngkin going mum on guns in his campaign, and the way Hung Cao had a chance to show courage again but ran.
Its my belief that party “professionals'” are feeding the campaigns the arrogant old Lee Atwater line, “Who else are they going to vote for?”
That, of course, is exactly the wrong advice when the race is close and you’re trying to light a fire in bellies and get low-propensity gun voters off their @$$es and to the polls. And it makes me wonder if Swamp creatures are trying to lose, and discredit those who identify more with MAGA than with “moderates” as political forces to be reckoned with.
