‘Republicans,’ Pay Heed

John Cornyn, top Republican negotiator on gun package, booed at Texas GOP convention [More]

As I said:

Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken.  Way to take the fire out of bellies.

You hearing this Mitch? Lindsey?

You geniuses really want to break up the wave before it happens?

Well, he started it.

Winning?

Flores, who had 51% of the vote to Democratic candidate Dan Sanchez’ 43% when The Associated Press called the race, will become the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House. Her family moved to the United States when she was 6 years old. [More]

An “AQ” rating…

And we’ve seen what “the highest possible candidate grade” means again and again and again and…

Nothing about her here?

Here we go:

We MUST … encourage LEGAL immigration.

Why, if the vast majority overwhelmingly end up voting Democrat and anti-gun? Or is that the line the cheaper H-1B worker money guys spinning dreams about her promising future told her to use?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”…

Yes. Totalitarians want everyone they want to eliminate dead. Who doesn’t know that? Why else would they want our guns?

Which makes stupidly suicidal Republican complicity in disarming their last best defense all the more of a forehead-slapper…

The Usual Suspects

House passes red flag gun legislation in mainly party-line vote… Five Republicans — Reps. Fred Upton (Mich.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Chris Jacobs (N.Y.) — bucked the GOP in voting for the measure, and Democratic Rep. Jared Golden (Maine) broke from the party in opposing the bill. [More]

Two of them aren’t running again. The other three have earned a full-court press to oust them next time around, but that depends on how willing their gun owner constituents are to actually do something.

And the Traitors Are

The Republican representatives who voted with the Democrats included Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Chris Smith of New Jersey and Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida. GOP Reps. Mike Turner and Anthony Gonzales of Ohio also backed the measure, as did three Republican members of New York’s delegation — Reps. Nicole Malliotakis, John Katko and Chris Jacobs. [More]

Any gun owner who contributes to the national or state Republican party as opposed to individual candidates who have earned it is financing his own persecution.

I would like to see the “gun groups” that have the clout put public pressure on party leadership and let them know that their financial and other support of these enemies within will be heavily publicized to gun owners.

I’d also like to see gun owners show up in groups at town hall meetings and loudly expose these frauds for the subversive weeds that they are.

Senate Republicans Can Resist Emotion-Fueled Rush on ATF Nominee

Will they treat the Dettelbach nomination like the existential threat that it is, or will they play politics as usual and make just enough comments to claim plausible deniability on opposing him, without really doing anything concrete to upset a foregone conclusion? [More]

Will even one doer declare “You shall not pass!” and separate himself from the talkers? If he does, who will join him?
