Remember that load of crap Governor Jay Nixon (D-Mizzurah) spewed when news broke that his Department of Revenue was sending CCW holders’ personal data to DHS? He was very reassuring, letting Show Me Staters know that no one in his administration was engaged in a program to rat out concealed carriers. Or as he put it so eloquently, “There are no documents being sent to some federal government magic database somewhere to do something.” Except there was, as became clear when his Director of Revenue fessed up. And so did the head of the Highway Patrol. Still, Jay did the full Sgt. Schultz, professing that he knew nossing, nossing about the blatant violation of state law. Except, as it happens, he did . . .
As Dana Loesch is reporting at redstate.com, Nixy signed the Missouri law himself that prohibited compliance with the federal REAL ID Act. And when his own DOR thumbed its nose at the law and sent Missourians’ personal information to Washington anyway, he got a big fat metaphorical smooch for laying down and rolling over from DHS top dog(gette) Janet Napolitano.
Ruh roh. Hard to claim that no one was sending prohibited information to the feds when he’d already been scratched behind the ears — in writing — for, well, sending prohibited information to the feds.
But hold on, there’s good news! The Gov was already scheduled to testify in a public hearing this Friday. Which should give some legislators a chance to ask him when he stopped beating his wife lying to Missourians. If he ever did. This is about the only thing that could make me regret being at the NRA Meeting on Friday. Buckle your seatbelts, Missourians. This could get interesting. [h/t DrVino]
A bit off topic, but is anybody else starting to get borderline homicidal every time somebody uses the word “operator” in a firearms context, or is it just me?
Telephones, industrial machinery, vehicles, and surgery, fine. Those things involve operators. Firearms? What-the-hell-ever. You go ahead and “operate.” I’ll just keep on doing what my gun was designed for: shooting.
nope hardly none, but its fishing season anyway so my money need go to tackle.
edit:also they are opening a bass pro shop in my area this fall so gander mtn. has been having alot of sales, soon as bass pro opens im never setting foot in gander mountain again.
The sad thing is the Democrat AG won’t prosecute a clear crime so someone will need to sue but unless they can show damages I’m not sure if that will even work.
No surprise seeing that (D) after this asshat’s name!
I”ll be there.
I’m going to have to start looking into how to file a FOIA request to find out exactly what of my information may have been disclosed in violation of state law. If anyone has helpful info feel free to share some links.
I’m a Missouri CCW holder.
If I was a lawyer, I’d be happy to represent you. If guilty, and it sure looks that way, Nixon should do jail time. I doubt that will happen with how crooked this administration is.
trigger control? HA! That’s exactly what I’ve been using my laser for on this short ass barreled little sub-compact. Thanks for the reminder to practice without it as well. you know, crutch and all….
Interesting… I’m typing this literally a mile and a half from where it was made. That plant has been making weapons since the War of 1812. My wife’s grandmother made machine guns there during WWII. In the ten-plus years I’ve lived here I’ve seen them go through numerous ownership changes. I couldn’t even tell you what the name on the sign is now, and I drive past it every day.
If you’re curious, it’s pronounced SOCK-oh.
Did I just hear “Century” and “quality” in the same sentence? Is it snowing in hell?
“Public Policy Polling was founded by, and still led by, Democratic pollster Dean Debnam, whose political contributions show a considerable Democratic bias. Public Policy Polling doesn’t even attempt to hide its Democrat cheerleading. In a Politico article depicting their war against Republican Senate candidate Richard Burr, Public Policy Polling Director Tom Jensen said “we’re absolutely rooting in the race. We don’t want Richard Burr to get reelected. We wanted Obama to win last fall.”
I’ll be heading out Thursday morning to the NRA Convention in Houston just east of the Colorado River. 1st. time a member of the NRA and its about time. Should be a Hoot and can not wait to get there. Anybody needing me to ask and or see a vendor a question just post up.
Diamond rings have been in use since the Archduke of Austria Maximilian gave Burgundy a diamond ring in 1477. Since then, it has been customary for most to propose with a diamond ring. Many who have made the step up with diamond engagement rings to show their undying love to their partner have been successful. Simply, diamonds are a girl’s best friend and they last forever too. Just as a diamond lasts forever, you also hope your love is forever.-,
With kind regards

I see two issues, poverty and drugs. I have no idea how to alleviate poverty. But decriminalizing drugs would go a long way toward minimizing violence in our cities. Hell, take all that wasted war on drugs money and roll it into education/vocational incentives for the poor, perhaps. All I know is the gun legislation problems started as a reaction to prohibition, and the govt hasn’t learned.
It is time we march not only on these legistlative instituions but also, in an effort to show our resolve & to show protection, to the judicial branches!
Any judge, from a most basic court, has the authority to uphold the constituion & proclaim any law as un-such! We need to show our solidarity in this area here & now! I am gathering my law abiding member who believe in the bill of rights for just such a protest in a pre-emptive manner & i suggets you all do the same
I must say that I have been fairly lucky. I live near a Cabellas and use gunbot to watch for any Cabellas sales; I then order online and have it shipped to the store so there is no transportation. In the last 4 weeks I’ve purchased 4 boxes of .40sw at $13.99 a box of 50 and 4 boxes of .22mag for between 12.99-13.99 a box of 50. I’ve also learned when the store puts out their ammo and have picked up a box or two for all of my handguns, all at pre-panic prices. Last week they had .223 ammo for $6.99 a box of 20. I don’t shoot .223 but have a friend who does… so I bought a full five box limit and sold it to him for what I paid. Just yesterday I went into Cabellas to look at some reloading equipment on my way home from work. As I was looking, I saw a customer walking by with a 2100 round can of Federal .22lr. I asked the salesperson if he had another one of those, he came back 5 minutes later with a can for me and for another person who heard me ask. So, 2100 rounds of .22lr for a little under $100… nice.
Bloomberg has been paying to bus a couple of these people to Ayotte town hall meetings the past week. They make a ruckous, ask some inane and loaded question like “why do you want criminals and crazy people to have guns?” then leave to get to the next meeting location for photo ops.
It’s beyond ridiculous.
