ATF Night Hosted by California Assembly Nominee John Brantuk Telephone: (562) 698-2870 email: John.W.Brantuk@BrantukForAssembly.org www.BrantukForAssembly.org

What is "ATF Night"? No, we're not the federal gun control agency. We are a social gathering of Second Amendment and liberty activists and leaders who meet monthly to discuss firearms-related issues over (optional) adult beverages and dinner, and afterwards, those so inclined may choose to step outside to continue discussions while enjoying a fine cigar - hence the name.

Originally hosted by The Lawyers' Second Amendment Society, the meetings have continued thanks to the leadership assumed by John Brantuk, Republican Nominee for the California State Assembly ( see www.BrantukForAssembly.org )

You don't have to be an activist to join us - newcomers and the curious are always welcome. And admission is always free.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| "1ST DEBATE" - from the San Francisco Chronicle 09/04/2003 On many of the issues Wednesday night, McClintock stood alone. He opposed abortion, vowed never to raise taxes and called for fewer restrictions on gun ownership, since "people have a fundamental right to defend themselves from violent predators."

His strong conservative stances likely won him some votes, possibly at the expense of more moderate Republicans such as Schwarzenegger and Ueberroth.

Republican analyst Tony Quinn said McClintock stood out from the pack of other hopefuls.

"Arnold's problem is they've got to get rid of McClintock -- and this hurt him," he said. "This gave McClintock the attention he won't get otherwise."

Pollster Mervyn Field agreed. "Arnold was hurt tonight," he said. "The question was: If he'd have been here, would he have been hurt more?"

"McClintock was forceful, and remarkable in his contrasts on positions" from the others.

Good for the GOA... I hope they don't regret it when Bustamante shows up to take the last few guns that Californians still own.

Thanks for posting the info, Mr.B., and for putting up with the other discussions appearing on this thread.

Is there anything a governor could do to improve the CCW issuance method in CA? I wouldn't want it to get worse, but in the current climate of CA, can any positive change happen (other than the veto of bad legislation)?

It seems nearly impossible to get a "shall-issue" law here.

Just remember that Bustabudget is totally to the left of Arnold on the 2cnd Amendment.

Either politicians trust people or they don't. In the last 30 years, California has enacted law after law that restrict victims from defending themselves against criminals. As for California's existing gun laws, some of them (CCW) are implemented in a racist manner. But Schwarzenegger supports them.

Senator McClintock received a "100%" rating from GOA in 2001 & 2002.

Nope, I don't. But Arnold doesn't believe that is the government's business, true. He does, however, oppose gay marraige and also supports the Boy Scouts' right to determine whether or not they allow gay leaders... he is NOT a hard-liberal on gay issues.

And California is the most liberal state in the country and only becoming more so. When was the last time an anti-gay candidate was elected through a state-wide election?

Link doesn't work!

Try this (GOA Supports McClintock In Governor's Race) in the morning (because I think the GOA server might be down at this time). I goofed up on the earlier link (sorry; thanks for noticing).

Good for McClintock... 100% on guns... I actually like to see that.

But, darling... he CAN'T WIN.

He couldn't win last year.

Simon couldn't win last year against the most hated governor California has ever seen.

Republicans 35%, Democrats 45%, Independents 15%.

OK, then, huevos.

Something is missing because of all the events and invitations where Arnold is simply MIA...

His people know that Tom would take him apart in a debate without prepared questions, but I'm sure you are really on top of things being 2000 miles away.

Now Steve, don't be too harsh on old Tamsey. After all he probably is right on top of California news back there in PA!

Tamsey.

Listen to the words that I am typing.

Here's the election, from a 2A point of view, in a nutshell:

Gun Grabber "A"

Gun Grabber "B"

Tom McClintock

Does that make it any clearer to you, schatz?

Please don't respond saying Arnold is pro-gun because you just need to follow the links I gave you earlier.

Unless you think GOA and GOC are pro-Bustamante...

I know it boggles the mind, but please give it a moment of consideration. Gun Grabber "A" wants your guns and my guns and everyone else's guns. Gun Grabber "B" does too. The only difference is how. And there's Tom. You make the call!

;-)

Are you talking about me? I'm the lightning rod around here. I am the one suggesting you find a mountaintop to defend. Have you examined your own shortcomings?
