Notes from the Resistance
Republicans, take heed. Not every gun owner voice out there is a “Next Best Win” apologist, and you need all of us if you’re not going to blow the midterms, which may be a done deal after this.
But won’t that mean the Democrats will gain the power to take our guns?
Does it?
Flesh out what that would look like and we can start looking at likely responses, flash points, and potentialities.
I note the announcement does not include the SHORT Act being included in the House version. I’ve heard some stuff about that I may be sharing in a few days if I can confirm.
What will the Senate do? Gut feel: A critical mass of Dems love our money more than they our hate guns. And let’s not let this potential “win” on guns blind us to the existential dangers of out of control government spending to advance powers nowhere delegated.
Looks like I may have been wrong for being so negative about HPA’s chances.
Hey… does this mean I can dig up the Chore Boy…?
During late debate over budget reconciliation proposals, a coalition of Second Amendment organizations is demanding that short barreled rifles and shotguns, as well as sound suppressors be removed from regulation under the 1934 National Firearms Act. [More]
Good idea. Some questions:
I Ask GOA Where They Stand On Machine Guns…my comment’s been given a “Medium” priority. [More]
Right. High priority is getting everyone excited about bills in committee that will never make it to the president’s desk.
I miss Larry’s leadership.

An open letter to NRA asks the same question.
Is it wrong to hope somebody badmouths me?
Stalled 2A Bills Need Your Support [More]
Say everybody floods the switchboards and the bills make it out of committee. Then what?
I see the 2A blogosphere and guntubers mobilizing on this while actual doable priorities remain ignored and mostly unknown. I’d say at least it will help flush out committee RINOs, but then have to ask what gun owners will do about it, because they all seem to flourish with impunity.

But far be it for the “no compromise gun lobby” to notice this.
I miss Larry’s leadership.
The SHORT Act would remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and other firearms from the draconian NFA. Sign the petition now to support the SHORT Act and help GOA get this legislation over the finish line! [More]
The finish line is the president’s desk.
I’m sure some will balk with the requirement to provide a phone number. If the goal is to get ‘er done, it would help if we knew which reps and senators we needed to work on who wouldn’t be a complete waste of time, and who could be publicly pressured via their X.com accounts.
Maybe let ’em know the ban was the excuse the government used to justify executing Vicki and Sammy Weaver.
