Way Off Base

Former Dodgers star Steve Garvey jumps into the California Senate race as a Republican [More]

He’s got plenty of “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you” happy-talk platitudes, but where does he stand on anything? And have California Republicans learned anything from the last time they backed celebrity over principle?

At least we know Garvey’s got the screw constituents and duck the fallout part down…

This guy’s got more shady baggage than Sam Brinton

Dishonorable Mentions

Per WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M via email:

Of Democrats that NRA endorsed who later back stabbed them and us… Kathy Hochul. Who also was adored by your old pal Jacob reiper who used to run political action at nysrpa. And one more to add!Fw: Add Sen Bob Casey to your list…

Maybe someday I’ll spend time compiling an actual list — but it would also have to include Republican traitors like Brian Mast, Fred Upton, and more…

‘Republicans for Ukraine’ Led by Same Neocons who Advocate Disarming Americans

That makes fair the question of those funding the Republicans for Ukraine website: “Who are these guys?” [More]

It’s just another Astroturf venture exploiting a handful of useful idiots hooked on Kristol meth.

Out with the Old

Iverson rolled over for virtually everything the far left wanted. Her “leadership” set back Oregon in ways that would be hard to calculate. [More]

It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the best you can say about whoever will replace her is there’s a chance they may not be as bad.

In tangentially related news, it looks like the judge is seeing how the law can result in “disparate policing” and discriminatory enforcement.

Blue-Skying

If … we trust you enough to drive a motor vehicle and register your driver’s license right and we’re going to opt you in to be a voter why not also opt these people in to carry guns under ccw permitting system so they get their own card that they can use across the country in relevant states that recognize through the reciprocity system those Concealed Carry Permits that are in your wallet…? [Watch]

It’s an interesting and creative thought but it’s dependent on reversing Democrat majorities and even then would be tied up in the courts for years waiting for a Supreme Court of as yet unknown composition to first agree to hear a case and then rule favorably on it.

Besides, reciprocity becomes a moot point as citizens, per SCOTUS in Dred Scott, have “the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”

That and it’s hard to see how having more people voting favors anyone but ignorance-dependent Democrats. Me, I think Gov. Shapiro just signed the death warrant for PA Republican representation.

And based on his subversive gun betrayals, I think it’s deliberate sabotage by an embedded enemy.

Paved with Good Intentions

An Armed New York: the New York Young Republican Club Stands for the 2nd Amendment [More]

You guys are going to have to do more than “wishing” and teaching your members how to comply with infringements.

And before virtue signaling “Legal immigration is beneficial to America,” you might want to check the numbers on how they vote, because 60% Democrat to 15% Republican sure doesn’t sound that way.

About Those Tangling Alliances

“In light of the compelling and urgent testimony provided, I respectfully urge you to immediately clarify that the United States does not tolerate, facilitate, or participate, in negotiations over genocide, and to publicly inform Azerbaijan that unless it immediately lifts its blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh, the U.S. will take action through the United Nations to refer the matter to the International Criminal Court for investigation and prosecution,” Smith wrote to President Biden in a Thursday letter. [More]

Involve us with the UN in foreign enforcement interventions involving a nation having “closest friendship and trust links” with Russia, meaning add more pressure to tensions ready to explode over Ukraine, and at the same time undermine that which the Founders knew to be “necessary to the security of a free State” enough to get endorsed by the Brady PAC

Chris Smith of New Jersey: For Democrat economic and immigration policies and also endorsed by Gabby Giffords!

What a steaming load.

Remember that when you get solicitations from WIN Red for other candidates.

Forced Reset Trigger Ruling Enabled by Senate Republicans

In Morrison’s case, we find, unsurprisingly, she’s a Democrat and a Joe Biden appointee. We also find that “The U.S. Senate confirmed Morrison on June 8, 2022, on a vote of 53-46.” That was close. And it means Republicans had to vote to confirm her. Which Republicans? [More]

With “Republicans” like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney, who needs Democrats?

Making It Personal

…Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed an executive order banning all firearms on city property … This executive action was taken following a move by the city council to strike the previous city ordinances on firearms. This was done to comply with the new statewide preemption law that takes effect on Saturday, along with constitutional carry. [More]

And naturally, “The only exceptions to this order are for law enforcement, contracted security personnel, recreational shotgun use at the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet facility, and those granted exemption by the Chief of Police.”

This is why claiming to be a Republican can never be enough.

I guess if hubby couldn’t be trusted with a gun, you can’t, either. Or is it bad form to point that out, even if it looks like she moved on soon enough?

You want to cry foul, cry foul.

I owe no sympathy to someone who demands I obey their terms of surrender or else and put my life and the lives of those I love at risk.

And you’ll note NRA didn’t dare tell you about this.

It’s a Feature, Not a Bug

It should be more than obvious that the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that credulous GOP Senator John Cornyn shepherded into law along with Connecticut’s Chris Murphy was nothing but a stalking horse for expanding the federal government’s regulation of firearms. [More]

Is “folly” the right word here?

Hey Everybody, Look At Me!!!

GOP presidential candidate calls for stronger gun background checks
Former GOP Rep. Will Hurd said fellow Republicans are worried about the political ramifications if they support gun control measures [More]

I guess “former” and “political ramifications” don’t register with this dolt. He didn’t qualify for the debate so he’s gotta get attention somehow.

Figures he had an “A”-rating from NRA.

The Junior Vichycons Club

Younger Republicans More Likely to Favor Gun Laws Than Older Ones [More]

Your own words demonstrate you “don’t have the knowledge or maturity to understand the issues,” Willow. And the polls exploit that.

Voice of America propagandists have turned their CIA unconventional warfare sights inward…
