Girl Scouts at Gun Show
Gun Watch ^ | 3 March, 2014 | Dean Weingarten

Girl Scouts at Gun Show
It was nice to see these enterprising girl scouts at the local gun show in Yuma, Arizona.   They were quite busy, and sold a lot of product.  Their table was next the the AZCDL table where I was busy giving away free .22 ammunition.  A good time was had by all.

People at gun shows tend to be a standard deviation more responsible than the average American, who tends to outclass the world population in responsibility by a good bit.   Those who attend gun shows are very responsible and polite people, more educated than average, more informed about the world, more politically savvy, and with higher ethical standards.

It is hard to separate out the cause from the effect in the gun culture.  Are more responsible people attracted to guns, or do guns tend to make people more responsible?  It may be a complex feedback loop.   Certainly, populations in the United States that have higher levels of gun ownership tend to be better educated, more prosperous, and have much lower crime rates.

I would rather be ruled by the first 100 people in the door at the Yuma Gun Show than by the U.S. Senate.

Buying anything from GirlScouts is contributing to Planned Parenthood and the Democrat machine.

Do not purchase from them.

Now there’s an interesting intermingling of beliefs you don’t see everyday.

I’d rather NOT be “ruled” at all.

Take a look at the demographic of 150 million+ American women and girls and tell me you don’t see an “intermingling of beliefs”

"sold a lot of product"

Why is that agood thing? That money flows to the GS ruling clique, who pass great wads of it on to Planned Parenthood who, after deducting a big chunk to fuel their lavish lifestyles, pass the balance on to the leftist apparat that are working like bolshevik beavers to crush us.

“Why is that agood thing?”

I did not say that it was. I did not buy any, and I told the Girl Scout leader there about problems with the corporate management.

The girl scouts had a good time.

I had my own fish to fry, and you pick the time and place of your fights. This was not a good time and place to pick a fight with the Girl Scout Management.

This is how liberals worm their way in. Keep the girl scouts out of gun shows if you want to keep your gun shows.

that has been proven false repeatedly
cookie sales benefit almost solely the troops and Councils

yes, GSUSA benefits financially from use of its trademark to brand the packaging, paid by the bakers and certainly some of that cost passed along to the consumer

However as well as going after nonprofts like GS that are linked to other nonprofits like PP because they attend the same conferences and confabs with other nonprofits, and cross reference the same studies and research materials produced by those nonprofits (largely using your tax dollars and corporate donations), check your home carefully for products from various for profit corporations, that’s where the big bucks donors are

you send money to PP and the democrat party by the groceries and consumer goods products and services you buy, financial institutions and investments, not to mention your tax dollars and even donations to some churches and synagogues and Salvation Army

here’s some other targets to add to your boycott list, as well as your own state of course, if you have a democrat or RINO governors senators or congressmen

please provide your facts on how much money from cookie sales go to the “GS ruling clique”?

I know in my troop $.75 per box goes to a ruling clique of 14 yr olds, another portion goes to the Council that runs our camps and member programs, and about $2.50 goes to the cookie bakery

Sure, once upon a time, in an America far, far away, it would have been a natural co-mingling of beliefs. Same for the BSA.

However, given the current leadership of GSA, their leadership's politics and aggressive support for abortion and the homosexual agenda when compared to those who now stand in support of the 2nd Amendment and their traditional beliefs and values, I wrote that comment.

Girl Scouts Hire Lesbian as Chief ‘Girl Experience Officer’

As millions of moms consider digging into pocketbooks for
Girl Scout cookies this year, they may be interested to know about the hiring of Krista Kokjohn-Poehler in the Girl Scouts executive office in New York City.

Kokjohn-Poehler is an out lesbian married to a woman named Ashley Kokjohn. And, given her sexual preference, it may strike some as odd that her job title is “Girl Experience Officer.”

I think it is great! Yes, GSA may be associated with PP. However, these particular girls spent time and had conversations with 2A advocates and conservatives. They may have learned a lot more than they earned.

i just posted this on FB

Founder of Planned Parenthood (PP now integrated with GS).
thought you might want to know this....

Margaret Sanger, the alcoholic and Demerol addict, who spawned the International Planned Parenthood Federation, was a proponent of forced eugenics, segregation, abortion, birth control and sexual immorality. Here are some of her quotes.

“The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.” Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population…” Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

“Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock.” Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood

“Eugenics is … the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems. Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood
