Those people have destroyed the NRA.
Excuse me sir. Yes you. The one who just barged into my home. Can you give me a minute to undo the trigger lock on my gun?
2A bump for later....
In other news Ryan Busse has a lovely collection of silver coins.
Thirty pieces in all.
All the stories of those formerly against guns, but for them now, don’t exist to the media. Only one narrative fits.
Triggered a weird memory of the documentary of a middle aged American man living in North Korea with his North Korean wife and pictures of dear leader everywhere in his home describing how wonderful it was.
This guy has been a problem for a while. Just one example from the MSN free publicity piece for his garbage book:
“He told industry leaders that he backed legislation that would have strengthened background checks on private gun sales after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. It failed. Six years later, after another school shooting, this time at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, Sara’s (his wife) anger boiled over. She posted on Facebook that she hoped people would back their prayers for Florida with action: “The ONLY way this will EVER change is if the NRA goes up in FLAMES!””
The Big Lie that the Democrat and MSM machine has spread for decades now is that they want “universal background checks” on private sales. That’s scripted to sound kind of innocuous, but in reality, their solution is to simply ban private sales altogether, so they get their back-door gun registry. As with so many things, California lead the way with this: all sales have to be conducted through an FFL, who will have the buyer fill out a 4473, and run him through NICS. Voila! There’s the record they want.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. If you wanted to sell a gun to a friend, you could both go down to the local FFL (whom you both probably know well), and have a NICS check run. There’s no need to have the serial number, or even type of gun entered into the form, if all that is meant to do is make sure that a “prohibited person” isn’t buying your gun.
But that’s not what they’re really after.
Screw the NRA.
GoA, all the way!
The REAL 2A risk is when ONLY Democrats are allowed to own guns. . .
Ping.
President Trump is right; it's not him they're after, it's us. He's just in their way.

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.
