It's What They Do.

Lie.

That 3 A. M. Phone Call...

BUMPED: Here's my problem with this "trade deal" the GOP and Obama...

...are intent on shoving down our throats. It's classified. It's secret. It's one of those "we have to pass it to see what's in it" things, and we know how well that turned out with Obamacare don't we.
GOP turns to Tea Party to win trade powers for Obama
UPDATE: AGAIN, I'm wouldn't necessarily be opposed to this trade deal if the details were available for all to peruse. They're NOT, and I'll be damned if I give the Emperor Jones one more smidgen of power to abuse.

Action Needed on HB562

GRNC Alert 6-5-2015: 'Gang of Three' Nearly Kill HB 562
HB 562 made it through committee but that's no guarantee it will pass the House. Some Republican and our Governor seem to think they owe more to the North Carolina Sheriff's Association than they do the state's gun owners. There are links on the other side of the above link that will allow you to contact McCrory and his fellow Republicans by phone or by email and disabuse them of that notion.

Like I said...

The biggest problem gun owners have in North Carolina isn't the prohibitionists. It's our so called friends in the Republican Party.
And They Call Themselves Friends Of Gun Owners...

These are the guys that voted against H562 in the Rules Committee. If you live in their counties call them or email them and let them know how you feel.

What a twit.

Geraldo later denied that guns are used by law-abiding citizens to stop crimes. He asked fellow host Eric Bolling, “When was the last time you heard of a civilian stopping a crime with a gun?” And when Bolling said, “It happens thousands of times per day,” Geraldo responded by saying, “That’s a legend. You’re watching too much True Detective.”
OK Geraldo, how 'bout this?

And that's just one instance out of many.

Ignorance is correctable except when that ignorance is willful.

Huh?

Allow a NICS check when purchasing a pistol from a federally licensed firearm dealer in lieu of a pistol purchase permit or a concealed carry permit.
Why keep the permit system intact when your proposed change in the proposed statute allows purchase of a handgun without a permit as long as you undergo a NICS check? It makes no damn sense. Maybe I'm slow. It wouldn't be the first time I missed the point. Somebody please explain it to me. Oh wait...it still applies to private sales? Yeah, right.

HB562, the "Second Amendment Affirmation Act" is scheduled for a full House vote tomorrow.

GRNC has scheduled an event in support of the bill and opposition to Bloomberg's Moms scheduled protest. Details are here. If you can, be there.

A Nice Change.

A Hollywood actor who isn't an anti-gun zealot.
“Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat. Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won’t rid the world of criminality,” said the star of the second season of “True Detective,” according to excerpts of the cover story published Monday.

“I support people having a gun in public full stop, not just in your home. We don’t have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual. It’s the same reason we have freedom of speech. It’s well known that the greatest defense against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back,” Vaughn said, adding that mass shootings have generally happened only in places where guns are not allowed.

A Zero Tolerance Moment

This kind of stupid should hurt: the school system and its employees financially in a court of law. Zero tolerance is what school administrators do instead of think.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy Intends To Push Gun Control As A Health Issue
After he he testified before Congress, “I do not intend to use the Surgeon General’s office as a bully pulpit for gun control.”

What else can we expect from an Obama appointee?
