Nothing to say about the main event?
In a way, the silence is a positive– it may show the leadership is aware of member sentiment, that not all are kneejerk swallowing the establishment line, and that they want to keep their options open.
I spoke with him in detail a few days back and submitted the results of our talk to Firearms News. My editor tells me it will be online either today or tomorrow and has gotten in under the wire to make the print version, going to press Monday and should in subscriber mailboxes/on news stands for several days before the primary.
I didn’t really know that much about him or what to expect in terms of how deeply and sincerely he would walk the talk, but I gotta say, my conclusion is we’re dealing with the real deal, we’re dealing with someone who doesn’t need to put himself out there for all the crap he’ll have to put up with, and we’re dealing with someone we’ll be damn fortunate to have in office, especially after enduring the wretched likes of Kass-Itch and the bipolar Mike DeWine.
Add in Vivek Ramaswamy declaring ““The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up” while working to bring in a demographic that is 83% anti-gun, and readers here know how I feel about that.
If you’re an Ohio (or any other state) gun owner who agrees with me, you’ve gotta see what’s in it for you by spreading the word, getting out the vote, and supporting his campaign with much-needed donations. (I just made out a check he’ll get next week because of the Win-Red processing fee. And in the interest of disclaimers/disclosures, I hadn’t made up my mind to do this until after I’d submitted the mag article for publication.)
Tangentially-Related UPDATE
I couldn’t help juxtaposing watching him handling those guns with this bit of Republican phoniness designed to suck in the gunrubes:

He answered the Ohio Gun Owners survey:

A colleague noted whose they did not:

OGO removed the comment.
I did try to give Putsch the benefit of the doubt:
Unfortunately, he didn’t answer any of our questions. Realizing that political campaigns can be all consuming, Firearms News will issue an update if he does.
That said, I expect I’ll vote for Putsch in the primary, although based on my track record at picking political winners, candidates probably shouldn’t want me to.

Or should gun owners push for Putsch?
“The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up,” he said. [More]
Doubling down, are we?
Not if it’s qualified as being about culturalism. Then it becomes existentially essential.
I’m starting to like this Casey guy more and more.

Vivek’s Annual X® Mass Meltdown: Second Verse, Same As The First
I like this guy’s style and outlook. He’s got a good handle on just about everything.
I’d feel better if his platform actually mentioned what I consider to be the most important indicator for freedom– yeah, I see the photo when you scroll to the bottom of him with a Fudd gun, but some of us need more than that.
Like more of this.
I included an overview of Vivek’s 2A position here. It’s unproven how serious he would be about matching the rhetoric with actions.
I wonder if Casey Putchz would be willing to answer some questions.

At last night’s Turning Point USA event, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy channeled his inner George H. W. Bush, calling for a “kinder and gentler” MAGA movement: No longer should we concentrate on “defeating the left” or “owning the libs.” [More]
How many items do these raging Marxist maniacs and their useful idiot apologists have to signal their desire to see us dead before this insulated dope groks we’re talking existential survival here?
The only reason we have Vivek as the nominee instead of a far superior Dave Yost, who had earned his shot, is because the White House is rewarding him for past usefulness but isn’t ready to seat him in the inner circle. Kind of like sending Gavin Newsom ex Kimberly Guilfoyle off to Greece now that Don Jr. has traded up on a newer model…

Musk and Ramaswamy are all over this.
As long as the CR game is played, the bastards will continue to slip stuff in and take stuff out that only few will noticwe, and that will be passed out of desperation or “the government will shut down.”
I’m waiting to see how soon someone will find hidden gun-grabs.
