Rob Pincus - The War on Guns

In the Pinc

“But I think the more opportunities for education in responsible firearms ownership and use the better,” Pincus said. [More]

No problem finding common ground with AstroTurfers and flat-out grabbers.

Absolutists warning against alliances with Democrats, not so much.

What a trainer wreck. Speaking of which, when are the “smart” Bloombergians going to train people on America’s most popular rifle, you know, for “gun safety” to benefit millions, and how will they square that with demands to ban them?

Besides, training Democrats: What could go wrong?

A Trainer Wreck

But when Rob Pincus told FOX News he supported Biden’s ideas, even shooting a shotgun out a door to scare away bad guys, it was too much. Even with Pincus’ previous statements calling for more gun control, he had crossed the Rubicon. There was no going back. [More]

He crossed the Rubicon for me when he came unglued and went all ad hominem over questioning one of his fellow trainers supporting Hillary. He secured his position in the enemy camp when he teamed up with one of its leaders and then joined up with the kinder, gentler gun-grabbers.

That makes his allies subject to scrutiny too, in my book. They’re the ones who advise ignoring the greatest threat.

The thing is, he doesn’t care about burning bridges. He knows he can continue to make a good living off of Gun Culture 2.0, where useful idiots have their “allowed” guns, for now, as they witlessly vote in rulers aiming to change that as soon as they think they can.

UPDATE

In the interests of fairness, TTAG directs us to the documentation of incomplete quotes.

That has no bearing on my observations.

No Excuses

Rob Pincus excuses the Uvalde Cops. [More]

I just saw him finding common ground to exploit with Giffords, too.

Along with 97 Percent.

And Dan Gross.

Having screwed the pooch with the major gun groups, he’s looking to make a good living with the light-on-principles 2.0 crowd.

I guess I’ll continue to bear the shame of his disapproval for my lack of tolerance over Hillary-supporting gun trainers.

And don’t get me started on this…

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
