Bob Rose by Any Other Name

I’m a proud card-carrying member of the NRA… [More]

He then proceeds to endorse the evisceration of the Second Amendment.

Association Bylaws, Article III, Sec. 11, “Involuntary Termination of Membership and Disciplinary Proceedings” states in part:

“Any individual or organization member may be suspended or expelled for good cause, including, but not limited to, any conduct which is contrary to, or in violation of the Bylaws of the Association.”

This public anti-gun advocacy is in direct conflict with Article II, Purposes and Objectives, section 1:

“To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, especially with reference to the inalienable right of the individual American citizen guaranteed by such Constitution to acquire, possess, collect, exhibit, transport, carry, transfer ownership of, and enjoy the right to use arms, in order that the people may always be in a position to exercise their legitimate individual rights of self-preservation and defense of family, person, and property, as well as to serve effectively in the appropriate militia for the common defense of the Republic and the individual liberty of its citizens;”

Additionally, Article III, “Membership,” section 1., “Eligibility,” requires that the member “subscribes to the objectives and purposes of the Association.”

I say expel the subverting old Fudd.

And the Traitors Are…

8 RINOS Side w/Democrats & Keep Funding Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention [Watch]

I was not able to locate the vote yet to link to it. There was only a 1% chance of being enacted and it would have never made it past the Senate or Joe Biden’s desk, but it’s still useful to know who the Vichycons are:

  • Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR)
  • Brian Fitzpatrick (PA)
  • Thomas Kean Jr. (NJ)
  • Michael Lawler (NY)
  • Nancy Mace (SC)
  • Nicole Malliotakis (NY)
  • Christopher Smith (NJ)
  • Michael Turner (OH)

Many are the usual suspects. I may do an article showing how some of these lied through their teeth to gun owners to get their votes. For instance, Chavez-DeRemer got an “A” from GOA and Mace was endorsed by NRA.

Meanwhile, primary competitor Trent Staggs says:

Given Americans’ clear desire to protect themselves, I reject the idea that the Second Amendment is outdated. Every dictator who has seized power from a free society has first seized their weapons. The people who want to take our guns are the same people responsible for our crime wave.

Collective Guilt

“He is unequivocally mentally unstable, and he is racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, vulgar and prone to violence,” Romney said, per the book. “There is simply no rational argument that could lead me to vote for someone with those characteristics. I believe your endorsement of him severely diminishes you morally … and that you must withdraw that support to preserve your integrity and character.” [More]

And remember: Trump is just an avatar.

That’s what My Man Mitthead and the Swamp Vichycons think about anyone who votes for the MAGA agenda.

The Malignancy of Kristol Meth

I came to D.C. to work in the Reagan Administration because (to oversimplify) it was pro-Constitution, pro-U.S. global leadership, pro-military, pro-Israel, pro-democratic capitalism, and pro-American dream. And that’s why I now support the Biden Administration and Democrats. [More]

Naming Names

Several Republicans are still holding out against Jordan’s bid. The House Judiciary Committee chairman can only afford to lose four conference members due to House Republicans’ slim majority. Those who stand in opposition include Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Freedom Caucus member Ken Buck (R-CO), and John Rutherford (R-FL).

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

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.

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.
