Ping.
President Trump is right; it's not him they're after, it's us. He's just in their way.

Thanks, Yo-Yo, for the correct history of the S&W sellout.
YO-Yo, thanks for the research and posting it really helps.
But had I read the entire article at Slate, (ugh, now I need a shower...,) I would have read where Ryan Busse's wife brow-beat him into becoming an Obama-voting, Biden-advising employee of Gifford's anti-gun group.
Yeah, he got his 30 pieces of silver, alright.
I’m both and thinking of JFPFO, and I’m not Jewish.
Doesn’t seem to have effected the NRA though.
He is not the first. Back in 1970 or so Nelson “Pete” Shields was an exec for Remington.
When his son was murdered by the black moslem ZEBRA killers he formed Handgun Control Inc (now the Brady Center) to get more control over handguns.
He spouted what his REAL GOAL was in an interview with the New Yorker back around 1976.
Well, well, I just happened to have that interview here with me!
From 1976.
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
“Gun locks may come with guns,”
I have a drawer full of gun locks I would be willing to sell for a very low price. They are brand new, in the plastic package and none have ever been used.
Thank you for the information!
I know it’s off topic but weren’t you the guy who was writing about the Boeing 787 Max 800? Is there any news about when those aircraft are going to be returned to service?
Those people have destroyed the NRA.
Did the NRA recently change their name to the Socialist Rifle Association, or is this some other organization impersonating the NRA? /sarc
The NRA got infiltrated. When the NRA endorsed Harry Reid or Sharron Angle in 2010, I knew something was seriously wrong with the NRA.
It was the 737-8 MAX, and it's been back in service in most countries since December/January.
Thank you!
Yeah, that's why I specified S&W history, I won't even click on Slate, let alone read anything there.
