The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
The Brady Campaign is reporting that Bob Ricker is dead. The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has more on who Bob Ricker was. He was famous around these parts for the oft-used quote “self-defense whacks” which appeared on Bitter’s blog before she changed her blogging topic. She also had a bit to say about his … Continue reading “Bob Ricker is Dead”
Keeping in mind ol’ Bob’s attitudes towards women, so very nicely illustrated by our friends at VPC blog and Bitter, we bring you some cooking advice: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP0lekhFFlc[/youtube] Ah, the good ol’ days eh Bob?
Bob Ricker of AHSA is back haunting Bitter’s blog in the comments here.
I don’t know if anyone noticed, but Bitter’s blog was featured in yesterday’s NRA Outrage of the Week: But when NRA-ILA puts the word out that AHSA is an anti-gun front group, these “sportsmen” get a little sensitive, calling ILA staff “right-wing attack dogs” and calling gun owners who support the right to own firearms … Continue reading “More Bob Ricker”
It’s a small world in gun control advocacy. So small, the groups even write each other’s press releases. Or is Virginians for Public Safety an astroturfing operation on the part of Coalition to Stop Gun Violence? Maybe. Bob Ricker, formerly of AHSA, used to head up VPS. Amazing what a small incestuous world the gun control issue is.
This one involves Paul Helmke and Richard Feldman. Feldman puts the smack down on Helmke. If you’re wondering, yes, it’s this Richard Feldman.  I managed to scrounge up a copy of Feldman’s kiss and tell, and have been meaning to write a review on it. Feldman has turned on NRA, but I don’t think he’s … Continue reading “Point-Counterpoint at the LA Times”
The fake pro-gun group American Hunters and Shooters Association seems to take one position in some places online, and other positions on their web site. It would seem they are now waffling on the .50 caliber ban. I anxiously await Bob Ricker’s explanation that we “self-defense whakos” just don’t understand their subtle nuance.
This article in the Missoulian quotes me: “I don’t think Dan’s ousting is fair or right, it just is. I didn’t ask for people to call for his ousting. I did tell people to write Cooper Firearms and express displeasure, and encouraged them to not purchase the company’s products. It was Cooper Firearms and the … Continue reading “Article on Dan Cooper in Missoulian”
Here’s another article – not a blog post this time – about the effort to draw attention to Dan Cooper’s efforts working against gun owners by supporting Barack Obama. It not only mentions Peter again, but also quotes me. Some gun websites had posted the company’s e-mail address and telephone number, encouraging gun owners to … Continue reading “More from USA Today on Dan Cooper”
Michael Bane has a great post up about how the shooting community is changing, with hunters and shooters ending up on a more equal footing with each other in terms of numbers, and the effect shooters are having on the industry: We could not continue, much less go into another election cycle, with everyone, including … Continue reading “Changes in the Shooting Community”
