Meet the Candidates!

Sturtevant? The guy with the political courage and devotion to principle to conclude that being endorsed by as tepid a group as NRA was just too much for him to be associated with, so he colluded with them to have it taken down? Yeah, that’s a representative I want fighting the fight for me!

As for all of them, I wonder if anyone will ask them some unequivocal questions and not let them weasel out of things:

  • What did the Founders mean by “A well regulated militia”?
  • What did the Founder mean by “being necessary to the security of a free State”?
  • What did the Founders mean by “the right of the people to keep and bear arms”?
  • What did the Founders mean by “shall not be infringed”?
  • How can past Supreme Court opinion specifying protected arms as those being “in common use at the time” not apply to the types of firearms needed for militia service?

I’d also add a tangentially-related question, one not directly part of the “single issue,” but one that nonetheless is being used to undermine it:

  • What Constitutional basis is there to “secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” by exercising protective measures over who may enter the country and who may become a citizen?

UPDATE

Here are the questions VCDL asks different-level candidates.

Rounding Out

Senator Rounds takes on ATF, introduces bill to expand full-time travelers’ gun ownership rights [More]

While at the same time undermining every “good” thing he does by setting them all up to ultimately be reversed.

Just the way his ally in subversion Chuck Schumer wants it.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

Just Like the Founders Intended

U.S.D.C. Judge Strikes Down Missouri’s ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act’ as Unconstitutional [More]

And just look at all those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” who voted to confirm him!

Funny: Nothing about Democrat cities and states refusing to cooperate with ICE…

The Best Laid Schemes

There’s another problem too: The Brady decision by the USSC makes clear that the prosecution must turn over all evidence they have which exculpates a defendant. It’s not optional and it dates to 1963. The violations here are severe and in fact it appears basically universal. [More]

Boy, the Vichycons sure aren’t going to like that…

[Via bondmen]

Swamp Things

Senate Republicans Cave To Dem Propaganda About J6 Tapes [More]

And all the usual “leadership” suspects:

You gotta wonder, does someone have Dolly pix or are they just that corrupt? Or both?

They’re so entrenched they are bound and determined to side with the Democrats to sabotage “the Deplorables” and keep their places at the trough.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

If it’s any consolation, Whoopi Goldberg agrees with them.

‘Bipartisan’ Gun Controller Fitzpatrick Shows Why Being “Republican’ is Not Enough

And based on supporting candidates like party switch-hitter Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, Tom Ridge, and Brian Fitzpatrick, a critical mass of Pennsylvania Republicans is demonstrably willing to throw gun owners under the bus in exchange for the false promise of “less government.” They’re the useful idiot “bourgeoisie” the Democratic Socialists are counting on being asleep. This also explains why disarming them is such a priority. [More]

With “Republicans” like Fitzpatrick, who needs Democrats?

Pander Much?

U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) led a group of 25 additional Senate colleagues in reintroducing the Hearing Protection Act (HPA). The HPA, S. 401, would reclassify suppressors to regulate them like a regular firearm. The measure would benefit Idaho’s recreational gun users and provide them better access to hearing protection equipment. [More]

Why? Where were you guys when you were the majority?

UPDATE

Figures NSSF “proudly welcomes” it.

Pinning Down the Pinups

Why Some Members of Congress Are Wearing AR-15 Assault Rifle Pins [More]

Because theatrical gestures are accepted by shallow thinkers as substitutes for meaningful actions?

Forgive me if I read the name “George Santos” and wonder if self-serving motives trump sincerity and why anyone should believe a chronic and habitual liar.

And forgive me if I wonder why Rep. Anna Paulina Luna didn’t see fit to even mention the right to keep and bear arms in her campaign platform.

Look At Us, Everybody! We’re Posturing!

U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN), along with 43 of their Senate colleagues, today introduced the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would allow individuals with concealed carry privileges in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state that allows concealed carry, while still abiding by that state’s laws [More]

Yeah, well where the hell were the Republicans when there was a chance to actually pass it?

[Via Jess]

With Republicans Like These…

In his decision on Friday, Fairfield County Common Pleas Judge Richard E. Berens wrote that based on four legal standards, he found it unlikely that the state would be able to prevail in the case. [More]

“Shall not be infringed” and a preemption law passed by the representatives of the people aren’t legal standards?

And Ohio Vichycons consider this robed bench-fouler a win…

[Via JG]

Attempt at Crowder Control?

The bigger picture here is that some things are worth more than any amount of money—things like dignity, principles, and the ability to speak freely without asking permission from Ben Shapiro. [More]

I confess I don’t know enough about this to offer an informed opinion. That said, anything with Shapiro’s name on it is suspect in my book.

[Via bondmen]

With Republicans Like These…

Gun Owners of America has learned that the FIRST gun bill that House Republicans plan to vote on is… NOT a pro-gun bill. The bill would expand the FBI’s power to punish Americans who attempt to legally purchase a firearm from a commercial gun dealer by reporting them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. [More]

My new rep and one of my senators are enemies, so no use writing them.

It really seems to me a more effective tactic would be an en masse “WTF?” blast to Kevin McCarthy.

[Via Jess]

Let’s Go Brandon

Border Patrol Union President Pushes Amnesty for Millions – Brandon Judd styles himself as an immigration hawk. But he has a history of selling out on the issue. [More]

A plan comes together.

It figures The Weasel Whisperer backs it. As does the “ex-Democrat” so many “conservatives” seems to be getting excited about.

[Via Andy M]

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet

Why having 51 vs. 50 senators matters way more for Democrats than you think – It’s not just one extra vote; it’s a change in Senate procedure that gives Democrats additional power. [More]

And don’t forget to factor in the usual suspects.

That’s the way The Swamp wants it.

Never Volunteer

Democrats push firearms purchasing ban for people who voluntarily give up their 2A rights [More]

In all fairness, how could “staunch defender of the Second Amendment” John Curtis be expected to know foreign-born commie gun-grabbers like Pramilla always take what you give them and then demand more?

I mean, it’s not like the guy’s a f***ing idiot or anything. Is he…?

Bordering On Treason

Mitt Romney, Susan Collins Dismiss the Idea of Impeaching DHS Chief Mayorkas [More]

They’re right, but for the wrong reasons. Of course he’s a disloyal subversive.

This is just noisemaking by Republicans pushing for it. They know the Party failed in what it should have focused on: making sure it had the votes.
