The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
I touched on this briefly in the news links yesterday, but a much clearer picture is emerging that the current focus on the gun issue is hurting Dems on the generic ballot. Also, this from the WaPo: Â The survey shows the GOP making a more pronounced shift among white voters, who now prefer Republicans by … Continue reading “Congressional Ballot Narrowing”
Ashe Schow: Basically, the left had money and infrastructure ready to go for an all-out assault on guns and the NRA, they just needed the right moment — the right victims. It’s sickening, when you think about it; they were basically waiting for children to die so that they could swoop in and blame everyone … Continue reading “I Think She’s Right”
From John Richardson: The one thing to bear in mind right now is that no politician is your friend. It doesn’t matter the party nor their past support for gun rights. They will throw gun rights and gun rights supporters under the bus if they think it could impact their chances of reelection. One merely … Continue reading “Quote of the Day: On Politicians”
It’s time to sit down and have a little talk. There’s a few things that are becoming apparent as I’ve watched the reaction to Parkland. One is that Bloomberg’s game has been much better organized and more focused than it was after Sandy Hook. My impression then was that the gun control movement was poorly … Continue reading “Dear NRA”
I haven’t really had enough material to continue with the regular news link post for some time. It’s not that the media isn’t writing about guns, it’s that so much of it is dreck it’s not even worth a link. It used to be, I’d ignore a lot of the local papers, and focus on … Continue reading “Monday News Round Up”
I remember writing a while back, though I can’t find it now, that one reason the anti-gun movement could be dismissed as astroturf with very little in the way of a real movement behind it is because the big indicators of a true cultural struggle were absent. If there were real, motivated opposition, you’d see … Continue reading “Hated by All Nations”
Fortunately, things are starting to calm down. But I still have much to clear from my tabs. New York is investigating NRA over Carry Guard. Additionally, anti-gun folks are putting pressure on Chubb, the underwriter. I hope NRA has all its ducks lined up with Chubb, and they will hold and not wimp out under … Continue reading “Weekly Gun News – Edition 66”
Thanks for your patience last week. Another client deadline. Same work I was doing before the holidays. But work is a nice distraction from places like Facebook, which show the country is becoming even more divided. I’m starting to think about avoiding Facebook altogether. People who supported Hillary just won’t get over it and go back … Continue reading “Weekly Gun News – Edition 54”
Back from the long weekend with lots o’ tabs that need a clearin’. Apparently HBO is also doctoring interviews a ‘la Katie Couric. Starve the beast! Cut the cord! The Onion couldn’t have come up with a better parody of the ridiculousness of British attitudes on weapons. Charles C.W. Cooke is asking the left if … Continue reading “Weekly Gun News – Edition 38”
I was worried for a bit I wouldn’t have enough news, but I think I can give a news post a try: Smart: Given the death of Justice Scalia, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association is declining to seek review by the Supreme Court of the Circuit Court’s decision to uphold the SAFE Act. … Continue reading “Weekly Gun News – Edition 28”
