Rob Pincus – The War on Guns

False Alternatives

Gun rights! Public safety! Gun rights! Public safety! [Watch]

There’s no tension between the two. They’re both the same side. And coming closer together to “escape” only means we surrender more increments while they make disingenuous noises about easing up on things of ours that they have no claim to.

Talk about a trap.

There is no “debate.” There is truth and there is falsehood, and the latter should never be credited with equal weight or value.

And TED Talks themselves are for herding sheep.

Not that this useful idiot and the low information dolts who would fall for this childish ploy can figure that out, which suits the evil minds encouraging this misdirection just fine.

Yamane’s “full spectrum” includes Rob Pincus as representative of the hard core gun advocacy side? Funny, how the “compromise” being lauded never questioned where in the Constitution any branch of government is delegated the power to require federal licensing of firearms dealers in the first place. The sides we’re told are opposite were simply quibbling over the degree of ingringement.

But go ahead and take “expert” gun advice from someone who just admitted to the world he pulled the trigger on a .50 cal knowing he couldn’t see his target.

Be honest, Yamane. Tell us who you voted for so we can see what you enable.

The Bridge to Nowhere

‘Bridging the Divide’ on Firearms Laws [More]

Oh, look, kinder, gentler gun control couched as a meeting of reasonable minds. Where have we seen that before? And before that?

And when we no longer have to expend resources on these, we can focus on our next steps toward the goal.

If these rights swindlers wanted to attract more gun owners, they’d be stumping for BIDS– and not doing so reveals the fraud behind “background checks.”

Figures, Rob Pincus is part of it...

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.

That has no bearing on my observations.
