Tulsi Gabbard - The War on Guns

Conversion Therapy

Where Tulsi Gabbard Stands On The Second Amendment [Watch]

She sounds like she gets it and is sincere.

It takes a lot to get me to give her that.

The Road to Damascus

“I Was Wrong”: Tulsi Gabbard Addresses Second Amendment Concerns [More]

She was wrong a lot.

I wonder if this is a first step toward grooming her for her close-up.

Get Ready to Blow It

The ex-Democrat catching Trump’s and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s eyes – Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has gone from running for president as a Democrat in 2020 to interest in the open VP slots for Trump and Kennedy in 2024. [More]

This is what they want a heartbeat from the presidency?

I’ve got a Bobby Jr. piece coming out tomorrow. He’s only going to help Biden.

The Road to Damascus?

There’s a lot of rhetoric but not much in the way of specifics.

I’d feel better if the first words out of her mouth had not been “I’ve always supported the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms.”

The Prodigal Daughter?

Once a prominent backer of the leftwing senator Bernie Sanders, on Thursday she was greeted by far-right activists with a standing ovation and a group of supporters brandishing gold letters that spelled T-R-U-M-P. [More]

Really? There was a heartfelt recantation, along with apologies and pledges?

Or is it just Trump supporters go wild if you tell them what they want to hear?

The Company He Keeps

Gabbard to headline fundraiser at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort [More]

Just one YUGE problem, Mr. “Best Friend Gun Owners Have Ever Had“…

[Via bondmen]

OK Up to a Point

Unelected ATF just made a new “law” that turns 40M law-abiding gun owners into felons for owning a pistol brace. Latest example of the bureaucratic state making laws undermining our freedom and democracy. This must stop. [Watch]

Fine and good, Tulsi. Well stated and much is correct, but”gun rights” proponents need to stop asserting Congress is the body that should be able to ban guns. There’s no delegated power that negates “shall not be infringed.”

And I still don’t trust you.

Any Chair in a Bar Fight

“We don’t agree on every issue, but I am honored to have the support of Tulsi Gabbard who shares my view that the status quo is broken, and we need a change of direction”… [More]

I should hope you don’t.

That said, ULLA SELLA…

Our New BFF?

Tulsi Gabbard told Tucker Carlson she couldn’t be a member of a party that’s against freedom [More]

So she’s “one of us” now?

And was he as enamored of her as he was with Eric?

Speaking of Elite Threats…

Tulsi Gabbard: Washington Elite Pose “Greatest Threat” To Democracy [More]

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, democracy should be threatened and often, and by someone who knows how.

I don’t get the “conservative” fascination. Gabbard reminds me of that old Shake ‘N Bake commercial where the little Southern girl says “And I helped.”

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.
