It certainly looks that way. I would encourage everyone not to get too complacent. It’s quite possible a big part of why Brady & Company is struggling is because the left is so preoccupied with getting us out of Iraq, they aren’t thinking too much about the gun control issue these days.  In other words, this could be rather temporary, and fortunes could change.

Potato Suppressors
The tax on potatoes could be going up, to say, perhaps, 200 dollars? Anyone know if this actually works?
Robb Makes an Activist
Robb Allen shows the importance of getting new people out to the range:
I am proud. It goes to show that a calm, reasoned approach has a much better chance at bringing people over to our side. It is also proof that we are winning the war on guns and that the Brady’s and the VPC’s of the world are simply money pits with near zero ROI.
One day, they’re a hoplophobic teacher, the next they’re producing massive fireballs with a vintage Russian carbine.
Yep. I think it’s the only way to win long term.
UPDATE: Robb says it’s mostly Greg’s work
Monday Morning Funny
SayUncle links to some fun poking at H&K.
Most Don’t Die
Jeff points out to a reporter that most defensive gun uses don’t result in shots being fired. I’d also point out that most people who get shot with a pistol actually live. Even if there are 195 justifiable homicides by private citizens, there would be a lot more defensive gun uses where the perpetrator was shot, but lived.
Must Read
Eric from Classical Values takes the Philadelphia Inquirer to task and details some history a lot of people on the left would rather forget about.
Interview With Shirley Katz
Ahab has an interview with Shirley Katz, the Oregon teacher who’s asserting her right-to-carry on her school’s campus in court. There’s some good info there that the main stream media wouldn’t bother to seek out. I think Ahab did a pretty good job here. Also, I’d like to compliment Ms. Katz on her choice of side arm.
Why Gonzalez is a Turd
Ryan Horsley has an excerpt from a transcript detailing Rep. Chris Cannon’s concerns over the ATF’s mishandling of the NFRTR that was raised with Gonzalez during hearings.

The Tech Vote
Interesting article on how the tech vote is shaping up. On the Republican side, it would appear Silicon Valley has a strong preference for Mitt Romney, which is further indication that people who live there have gone insane, or are under a spell from Mitt’s hair, which is a result of a deal he signed with Satan quite some time ago.
This probably shouldn’t be much of a surprise that he’s raising so much Silicon Valley dough, considering he has the CEO of eBay backing his campaign finances, which is something that might concern gun owners:
But at a meeting in January 1999, Whitman and eBay board member Howard Schultz (who is also the chairman of Starbucks) led the push to get guns off of the site. “Having them up there just wasn’t appropriate,” Whitman says. “It didn’t fit in with the kind of company we wanted to be.”In the spring of 1999, Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado was racked by more than a dozen deaths as two students opened fire on classmates. None of the firearms involved had come from eBay. But as the implications of that event sunk in, eBay became ever stricter about what it would sell.
Firecrackers and police badges were banned. Tobacco products were declared off-limits, and wine sales were severely restricted. And new software, which would automatically search for sale listings that included keywords associated with “hate commerce,” was released. Those listings would then be purged from the site, and a customer-service specialist would review them to see if there was any reason to allow such a listing.
But we all know Mitt is freedom’s best friend now, right? I’m not buying it. Perhaps I am impervious to his satanic hair spell, or perhaps it’s just given his past, I’m just not feeling good about him, and the momentum he seems to have with certain segments of the Republican Party, namely the ones with money.
What’s wrong with you rich people? We can’t let Mr. Satan Hair walk away with the nomination!
