USA – -(Ammoland.com)-“’Pro-2A’ Politician Stabs You in the Back,” The Firearms Policy Coalition is telling supporters.
“Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang … has received plenty of endorsements and grades from pro-gun groups,” FPC explained. “We even gave her an ‘A’ on our report card for last year’s legislative session.”
Despite that, Chang voted for AB 1135, SB 880 and AB 1695, part of the so-called “Gunpocalypse.”
“Both AB 1135 and SB 880 BAN all semi-auto rifles with a bullet button starting in 2017,” the alert elaborated. “All existing semi-autos with a bullet button or other locking device will now have to be registered as assault weapons.
“AB 1695 makes some non-violent misdemeanors punishable by prohibitions on owning firearms,” FPC added.
Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, Chang joins a long list of political animals who lie about their beliefs in order to trick advocates into supporting their rise to power. That allows them to gain contributions, campaign support and the all important votes. They milk the deception until they no longer need to maintain it, then jilt loyal supporters in favor of allies they perceive can help them more.
Prominent turncoats who come to mind include “true champion of the Second Amendment” Harry Reid, Kirsten Gillibrand, and others. And as has been documented for many years, such politicians are often abetted by a grading system that allows (encourages) them to get away with it.
As for Ling Ling, she’s now running “to replace the termed out, pro-gun Senator Bob Huff.” See, that’s one of the problems, because if Huff is so “pro-gun,” why is he putting party politics over principle and endorsing gun-banner Chang? And why are no California activists asking that question?
It’s because there’s nothing they can do about it. The state is dominated by anti-gun Democrats. They’ve got no one else to turn to.
So where does this leave California gun owners is terms of “avenging” themselves on Chang for her betrayal? You could “give her office a call at 916-319-2055 and politely let her know that you do not approve of politicians who betray you and your Second Amendment rights,” that is if you believe in being polite to liars, rights rapists and traitors. You could sign the FPC petition, knowing she’s made her choice and is now giving gun owners “a cold shoulder,” so she really won’t give a damn.
Or you could say the hell with voting for a back-stabber. How about letting the Republicans know that until they find their principles, they can just feel your pain? After all, what kind of asking-for-more cuckold would put up with such an unrepentant betrayal?
Oh, but then the Democrats will win and really, really hurt you? More than an enemy inside the gates? Besides, they‘re the unchallengeable majority in California. What do you think is happening now?
They’ve been in-your-face about citizen disarmament in California for a long time now, and it’s only going to get worse, particularly with all the major gun groups deliberately ignoring the cultural terraforming through both illegal and legal immigration and a “pathway to citizenship” for untold millions. We know that works overwhelmingly in favor of Democrats and gun-grabbers in all three branches of government, as exemplified by California, and as we see spreading steadily through the rest of the country. We also know the cheap labor Republicans are all on board with that. As are, by default, Grover Norquist supporters (which included the FPC).
The 29th Senate District where Chang is running has now reached a tipping point to where the almost immeasurable difference that has given Republicans an advantage over Democrats will soon be reversed, and changing demographics look to keep things that way. Because both the Republican establishment and the gun advocacy establishment have refused to address that, the only “salvation” for California gun owners would be through a Supreme Court decision – and if Hillary wins, they can kiss that hope goodbye.
Unless gun owners take note of what’s happening in California and realize this will be coming to them soon unless they unify to stop it, they can expect the same fate. It’s just a matter of time.
If it enables citizen disarmament, it by God IS part of the “single issue.”
Anyone who tells you any different is blowing smoke. You’ll know because all they’ll offer are dismissals, platitudes or anecdotes. What they won’t offer are verifiable numbers refuting all credible polls – and the California experience – showing open borders and a pathway to citizenship giving “gun control” Democrats overwhelming majorities that will put them solidly in control of legislatures and the courts.
At that point, masks will come off and politicians won’t need to worry about stabbing you in the back.

@Bob,the ’72 election was my first one too. I actually voted for McGovern in it. First and last time I voted Democrat. I remember the VP fiasco with Eagletons mental problems,than bringing in Shriver. Long time ago.
The 1972 election was the first election for which I was old enough to vote. My parents were both Republicans so I was educated enough in the problems with Democratic Party programs and, independent of that, I didn’t trust McGovern. I voted straight Republican ticket. Later, Nixon was proven to be an enemy of the democratic process by using illegal methods to influence the election. Although I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, I did not vote for another Republican candidate until George H. W. Bush in 1988. At that time, I lived in the People’s Republic of… Read more »
Don’t kid yourself. Thanks to the subversive immigration policies and collaboration with the enemy by The Firerams Policy Coalition, Brandon Combs, Alan Gottlieb, SAF, CCRKBA, and NRA, California is your future no matter what state you live in or flee to.
I thank God every day for my life as it is now ever since the day I escaped the PDRK (Peoples Democratic Republic of Kalifornia)! Once Every Business, large and small, and Every Working Citizen of the State leaves for a better life elsewhere it will become the Duty of Hollywood to support ALL of the Illegal Aliens and the smarmy denizens of Sacramento.
Don’t kid yourself. California is coming to you, wherever you are, thanks to the subversive immigration policies of Grover Norquist and his partner Michael Bloomberg, supported by their collaborators in the Firearms Policy Coalition, Brandon Combs, Alan Gottlieb, SAF, CCRKBA and the NRA
Frank I believe you are right about most people aligning philosophically more with the Libertarians than the main two parties. I took a test myself and landed squarely with the Libs. I am currently torn because I would like to promote the Libertarians. I cannot stomach an election that awards Trump the Presidency. So I must vote against Trump. I truly question his sanity.
As for the subject of this article, I do believe that California is a lost cause and will not live or likely even travel there.
“Libertarians” are the most damaging fellow travelers and useful idiots in the USA. Their suicidal, treasonous, SOCIALIST immigration policies are destroying and redistributing the USA, sabotaging our sovereignty, liberty, culture, security, quality of life, real per capita wealth and income, cost of living, cost of land, privacy, dignity, elbow room, and human and natural environments, and handing permanent political control to the Democrats on a silver platter. They couldn’t do more damage if they were actual traitors, which many of them are. Most are too ignorant, arrogant and stupid to know it. And you won’t vote for TRUMP? “Libertarian” immigration… Read more »
Just told her that my family and I are not voting for her… And, yes, we do live in her district.
It may be the triumph of hope over experience, but I will continue to vote LP — the best of those unlikely to be elected — in the possibly vain hope that enough people will see their vote as an investment that will take time to mature. Until we invest one of those unelectable third parties with enough clout that the FEC cannot — without losing its remaining credibility — exclude them from the next round of Presidential debates, nothing will change. We will hear only the opinions of TweedleDee and TweedleDum (who say almost exactly the same thing or… Read more »
Yup, another Libertarian vote that statistically increases the chances of Clinton winning. Gotta love it when people ignore facts and just do what makes them feel good instead.
OMG, did you even read the article? Deluge *legal* immigration and invasion-occupation-amnesty are well advanced in the process of giving the Democrats permanent supermajority control of all branches of the federal government and a supermajority of the states, at which point the destruction of gun rights and the USA itself becomes demographically irreversible, if it isn’t already thanks to “Libertarians”, RINOs, neo”cons”, businesstraitors, and other de facto and actual globalists. But you want to vote for LP candidates, who are even *worse* than RINOs and Democrats on immigration? The vast majority of “Libertarian” leaders believe that numerical limits on immigration… Read more »
The problem is that Gary Johnson, william weld, and the koch brothers who back them are all low tax liberals, not true libertarians. Harry Browne was a real libertarian, and ron paul is the most well known libertarian in american history since thomas jefferson.
Ron Paul is still a Left “Libertarian” on immigration policy. Right out of his own book.
Ron Paul: Some actual facts and cites: 2011 Tom Tancredo article quotes Ron Paul’s book: “Last week, Rep. Paul released his latest book, ‘Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom.’ One of those 50 issues is immigration, and Paul gives a more detailed explanation of his views in the book than I have ever seen before. The result is not pretty. Paul’s book misrepresents the views of immigration-control advocates and then insults their motivations. He insinuates that patriotic Americans who oppose mass immigration are lazy and motivated by race. He says that immigrants… ‘…have a work ethic superior… Read more »
every major city in california will grow to be just like chicago. cops wont carry guns; instead they’ll be equipped with evidence bags, i pads (for keeping notes), toe tags, body bags, and air freshener. what a f***ed place that’s become.
Unless we slash total immigration back to a trickle, every major city in the USA will grow to be just like Chicago.
Vote for Sum Yung Ting and you’ll become Sofa King Sorry.
Oops, Wrong candidate! Vote for Ling Ling Chang and you’ll be Sofa King Sorry.
By the way you have to say that last part with an Asian accent. LOL
Sorry I moved from her District and Califirnia! At least I would have had the distinct pleazure of telling her she was a back stabbing Commie (thats tge poliite me) and voted against her! Most likely a wasted vote but I did my duty to GOD, Country, and Constitution! Maybe no one else would care but my Fore Fathers would be proud of me!
An FBI agent I worked with used to say “Once a c***ksucker, always a c***ksucker.” If you have been screwed by the RINO there is no reason to believe the RINO won’t give it to you again so you have nothing to lose by voting them out. If they make you suffer you need to return the favor. Do unto others as they would do unto you, only do it first.
Ching Ching Chong ! LMFAO ,….Too funny ….LMFAO ! Ahhhsooooo
I did not vote in the general election in 2012 or 2008 because romney and mccain are gun banners, but I will be voting for trump. Why would I reward a gun banner? The one and only thing that keeps 99.9% of the gop in line – ron paul and pat buchanan types are the very rare exception – on the gun issue is fear of losing their job by angering the grass roots. If a gop clown voted for gun control, then pro gun people should make it known that they will not vote for them and hope they… Read more »
You don’t send any message by not voting. What you do accomplish is, statistically, give the advantage to the person who is worse than the other. Was Romney great on guns? No. Was he better than what we got? Arguably yes. By not voting you helped the other person get elected and didn’t send any message to anyone. The Democrats love that. If all you wanted to do was feel good about yourself and accomplish nothing, fine, you did it. Want to send a message? Write a letter to the RNC telling them you will never contribute one cent to… Read more »
You think sending letters to the rnc sends a message?!?!?! How naive. They care about the donor class giving them money and not getting negative media attention – winning support from middle class flyover country is not important at all to them. That is an example of making yourself feel better without accomplishing anything. If you doubt this at all then take a look at how the gop has done its best to sabotage Trump – they would rather lose the race and keep their big donations from the billionaire and millionaire donor class. I sent a message when I… Read more »
Don’t quote out of context. I said send a letter AND tell them no more money. If you believe the majority of their funding comes from large donors I believe you are mistaken. Just like campaigns, it’s the small donors, many of them, that mount up. As for what might have happened if Romney were elected, coulda, shoulda, woulda. Irrelevant, he wasn’t and we’ll never know.
You tell me not to quote out of context then attribute something to me that I did not say. Nowhere did I mention who gave a higher percentage of donations, but I did talk about what the GOP ruling regime cares about. If you think they care more about the small donors than the big donors, why have they constantly pushed amnesty? The small donors in the GOP are almost entirely against amnesty, and yet the party keeps pushing it every year because the donor class wants it. So no, you and your friends sending them letters saying they will… Read more »
You seem to think we’re on opposite sides. We are not. The reason the GOP has dismissed small donors so far is because there has never been a unified, country-wide effort to rise up as one voice and tell them “not one penny more”. If or when that happens they’ll take note. Until then you are absolutely correct, it’s business as usual.
It is easy to misread context over the internet. We are definitely on the same side. Even if you disagree with trump on various views of his – and as a paleo libertarian, there are a lot I oppose – he is clearly the greatest threat to the gop ruling power bosses ever. Taking power away from the neocons and the establishment alone makes trump worthy of being supported in my view. It is also payback for the way the gop used all sorts of dirty tricks to stop pat buchanan and Ron Paul from getting a fair shot at… Read more »
True and in context
Feckless nonsense. Naggy letters to the enemy give comfort to the traitors who run the party. Unlike Brandon Combs, et al., RINOs and party apparatchiks know the power of organization, focused application of power, and real activism. They know it’s all about ELECTIONS. They know as long as “gun rights leaders” focus “activists” on demoralizing themselves, getting on their knees and wasting their time writing whiny, stupid letters politely begging the enemy, they won’t be doing anything effective such as volunteering, donating and organizing focused campaigns to defeat RINO infiltraitors. Prags like you and Brandon Combs are like Hans Blix… Read more »
Vote for the folks you know will represent you and leave a blank square beside the names of those who’ve proven they won’t. The quislings can add and subtract. When they see that they didn’t get as many votes as did others of their same party they will get the message that there were a hell of a lot of voters who could have voted for them and didn’t, and they’ll know why.
[W3]
Way to late for that in sunny CA. The only way out is, literally, the road that leads you out of the State. Move or just stay and be resigned to the fact that no matter what you do it’ll only get worse.
V40, I agree. If one can’t count on Ling Ling Chang (R). Then look at who she is running against. She running against former Irvine mayor Sukhee Kang (D) and veteran Josh Newman (D). There are no viable conservative alternatives. It’s a back stabbing RINO or two Democrats. A lost cause either way.
To send a message to RINO traitors, vote for the Democrat and make sure the RINO knows why. Whoever gets in will be a gun grabber. But the enemy in your own command post is always vastly more damaging and demoralizing than the open enemy on the other side of the wire. RINOs and betrayers are the enemy in your own command post. We cannot win unless we get rid of them. If gun owners get together and do whatever it takes to punish the traitor, it sends a message to other RINOs like nothing else.
Bzzz. Wrong. It’s not the way out, merely running away from the immigration tsunami is not going to save gun owners and the USA. It will get you anyway unless you recognize what it is and take action. California is the future of the USA, thanks to the immigration policies supported by Grover Norquist and his partner Michael Bloomberg, and their collaborators like Brandon Combs, the Firearms Policy Coalition, SAF, CCRKBA and other Alan Gottlieb front groups, and the NRA.
Brandon Combs and the Firearms Policy Coalition. With leaders like that, who needs douchebags?
