The first rule of politics: if there’s a problem, blame someone else. It’s always preferable to deflect responsibility onto your political opponent(s) but anyone will do in a pinch. Chicago has become known by some as Chiraq for its seemingly intractable crime rate and the number of daily incidents involving gunfire. That crime problem and the […]
Rebukes of members of Congress come very few and far between. So when the House Democrat leadership called out freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D, Minnesota) for her anti-Semitic remarks yesterday, it made news. Omar soon apologized, sort of. Yet in her “apology” she made sure to complain about the NRA’s constitutional right to lobby for its […]
As we noted yesterday, this will be a week chock full of anti-gun posturing, pronouncements and virtue signaling. Thursday is the one-year anniversary of the Parkland school shooting, so the forces of gun control — politicians, the anti-gun advocacy orgs and their compliant media stenographers — are pulling out all the stops. To wit, two […]
Mark Kelly, husband of Gabby Giffords and crusader for gun control since she was shot, has announced that he’s running for the US Senate from Arizona. Assuming he gets the Democrat nomination, he’ll be going up against Senator Martha McSally in 2020 who was appointed to complete John McCain’s term. My next mission… #FullSpeedAhead #ForArizona […]
The American Civil Liberties Union, aka ACLU, has a long history of thinking the Bill of Rights only has nine amendments. So imagine the surprise of many when the ACLU rolled out in opposition to a new gun control proposal in Illinois. Support Americans’ Second Amendment rights? Hah! Not the ACLU. Their Deputy Legal Director […]
Rep. Steve Scalise was shot by James Hodgkinson on a baseball field in June of 2017. He almost died of his wounds that day. In the Democrats’ anti-gun playbook, actual “gun violence” victims and survivors have particular moral authority to talk about firearms and their role in our society. Yesterday the House Judiciary Committee held […]
Fred Guttenberg, parent of a Parkland victim is a rising star in Florida gun control circles. A new beginning in the fight for gun safety!!! For the first time in over 8 years, our House Of Representatives is holding hearings. Forget what we did not hear last night, it begins this morning. pic.twitter.com/x82Ts3jZFM — Fred […]
Pity Poor Ralph Shearer Northam, Virginia’s Democrat governor. Back in his medical school days, he appeared either in blackface or dressed as a Klansman (it’s not clear which) in a photo he selected for his yearbook page. And now that the photo has gone public, even Democrats are calling for him to resign. Governor Northam — […]
With the election of Donald Trump, the People of the Gun eagerly looked forward to moving the ball forward on gun rights. We had great goals of taking suppressors out from under the National Firearm Act. What’s more, we saw national reciprocity as attainable. Obviously none of that has taken place. So what happened and […]
UPDATE: At the bottom of this post. Illinois has a new governor in JB Pritzker. Neither he nor the Democrat super-majority legislature particularly like guns rights or gun owners. Really, they dislike gun owners almost as much as they hate President Donald Trump. So it should surprise exactly no one that a Prairie State Democrat […]
South Dakota is on a fast track to become the nation’s fourteenth state with nationwide constitutional carry after Senate Bill 47 passed on Tuesday with a 23-11 vote after about one hour of debate. Both the Senate and House currently have Republican majorities, the House even more than the Senate. The reason constitutional carry hasn’t been […]
Rich, old white guy Michael Bloomberg has a plan to win over Democrat voters skeptical of his privilege and his Wall Street billions. He will have to if he runs for the jackass party’s nomination for President in 2020. Give him credit though. He plans on winning Dems’ hearts and minds with a campaign against […]
