—the phrase “common sense” has been eliminated from my vocabulary since the anti-firearms people have perverted its meaning-—

If anyone has any details on who these guys really are, can you Freepmail me? One of the founders has approached my company about doing a deal (unrelated to this organization).

Thanks.

In their never ending battle to replace English with Newspeak, the left has enshrined a new definition of the English phrase, “Common Sense,” to wit:
Common Sense = Wildly delusional

Indeed. As soon I see "common sense", the alarm bells go off. I find it amazing that they think people don't recognize this latest buzz word for what it is.

Bio:

Waylan Johnson / President Mr. Johnson is the President and Founder of Texas Energy Group, LLC. With over 22 years of experience in the petroleum industry, Mr. Johnson has been extensively associated with several significant privately held oil and gas companies and has been instrumental in developing business plans, exploration programs and negotiating numerous contracts within the complex day to day business of the energy industry. Mr. Johnson's career has also involved conducting extensive business with publicly held energy companies and large, privately held independents.

In 2000, Mr. Johnson co-founded Border to Border Exploration (BBX). BBX became the third company to take oil and gas leases in what has now become the Bakken Shale (the third largest oil field discovery in the United States in recent years). BBX was able to take a $1.5 million investment and develop it into a gross value of approximately $55 million. Mr. Johnson later sold out of his general partnership with BBX but still continues to hold interest in the limited partnership. Over the next several years, Mr. Johnson founded several successful privately held companies, all based out of Austin Texas. One of these Companies is Resaca Resources, LLC, a registered, bonded oil and gas operator with the Texas Railroad Commission (operator #703236).

Mr. Johnson is active in the investment field and continues to manage his own business and personal relationships with many public and private oil and gas companies.

Their delusion begins with the term,
“common sense set of hunters and target-shooters”,
as if that is the ‘silent majority’ of American gun owners!

They isolate, and attempt to ensure that they do not exist, all of those Americans who own guns for self-preservation!

Once again, an organization is born, to ensure that the single solitary voice of an American, cannot be heard, unless they become part of a drove!

There are certain keywords that betray the fool every time. One of these is "sensible", another "common sense". Yet another is "gun violence".

They can mask their intentions through their name but that's about it. The rest bleeds through and we've seen it all before.

Austin is a LIBERAL cesspool city in an otherwise pretty decent Conservative state. Don’t trust this new organization. You could be advertently giving donations to left-wing maggot and lifelong gun-grabber Gloomberg.
