This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”

“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…

A Symbolic Gesture

House Judiciary Committee to Vote on Overturning ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule [More]

That was yesterday. I’m not seeing anything on the committee’s news release page or Twitter feed yet.

In any case:

“The bill with the resolution will face a tough battle to get through the rest of Congress before heading to the President’s desk.

The Republicans do not have the votes to override a veto, even if some Democrats switch sides.”

The true test will be what Republicans do if and when they have the power to see things through.

Does Trump Truly Support the Second Amendment?

[W]e are not doing ourselves or those depending on us to stand for freedom any favors if we deliberately ignore Trump’s willful failures on guns. Because this is going to end one of two ways – strengthening his renewed bid for a return to the White House, or ending any chances of it.

Strap ’em on, Republicans. Anyone who doesn’t believe this is war is too stupid and cowardly to be free.

Make the goddam gun-grabbing commies fight for every inch.

I Wish I Could Say He Was Wrong

“It also suggests that we have seen a paradigm shift in this country, that now Republicans see the anti-gun violence movement as being more powerful than the gun lobby,” Murphy said. [More]

And Vichycons like Bill Lee and the “bipartisan” Quislings aim to prove him right.

Republicans as a party just don’t seem to understand that ultimately, they need Americans who will not disarm more than we need them.

Where were they back when?

And now with zero chance of passing through the Schumer Senate to the Biden White House…

Consider it another Sealab Bizarro moment.

Throw the Bums Out
