U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Gun safety groups planning to spend millions to turn Texas blue this year are rolling out their first round of ads, which say COVID-19 isn’t the only public health crisis facing the state,” the Houston Chronicle reveals. “Everytown for Gun Safety, the Michael Bloomberg-backed group that plans to spend $8 million in Texas this year, is launching $250,000 in digital ads targeting Republicans…”
“The effort follows a successful bid last year to help Democrats win control of the Virginia statehouse,” the story notes. “But the group plans to spend three times what it spent in Virginia on Texas races.”
Of lesser impact, but nonetheless significant, “BradyPAC … plans to spend more than $500,000 on elections in the state, more than it’s spending anywhere in the nation by far.” And Giffords is using its media platform to push its “slate of gun safety champions in Texas.”
Disregard for a moment that none of these groups are qualified to promote true gun safety. That’s just a euphemism they’ve adopted to mask what they’re really about, citizen disarmament in stages. They learned that lesson back when the National Coalition to Ban Handguns decided that the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence sounded less authoritarian and more palatable to the ignorant (and thus manipulable) masses, and the Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence reached pretty much the same conclusion to back away from Handgun Control, Inc.
That and they wanted to ban more than handguns.
What the gun-grab groups and the Democrats they’re fronting for are counting on is one of the same key factors that turned Virginia blue: Changing demographics. Now comfortable enough about that reality to brag about it, The New York Times practically crowed about what enabled the political polar shift:
“How Voters Turned Virginia From Deep Red to Solid Blue…Unlike three decades ago, the residents are often from other places, like India and Korea. And when they vote, it is often for Democrats.”
The same holds true for Texas. While the mix of newcomers differs somewhat, their political similarities are remolding the electorate with two main groups bringing about what Barack Obama pegged “a fundamental transformation.”
“Texas, for example, has been the most popular destination for outbound Californians for more than a decade, consistently averaging about 60,000 to 70,000 new Golden Staters per year,” The Atlantic reported in January. “But now the state is at an inflection point, between its history as a ruby-red conservative stronghold and its future as a more mixed state with blue metros and red rural areas. In this context, the next SoCal family that U-Hauls into North Texas isn’t just some nice couple with different taste in barbecue; instead, they’re potentially the demographic straw that breaks the GOP’s back.”
They fouled their nests and now they’re coming for yours.
And there’s another factor, as the Public Religion Research Institute documents.
“Demographic Changes in Texas Could Transform the State in 2020,” PRRI observes. “Texas has the fastest-growing population in the U.S., and the influx is not increasing the state’s traditionally white, Christian, Republican population. In 2018, for every white person who arrived in Texas, nearly nine Hispanics relocated to the state.”
We know how most Californians vote and the enabling effect that has on citizen disarmament edicts just by looking at the state’s politics. We also know that a Latino population that became the majority turned the Golden State blue.
That’s a population that according to all observable realities as well as all credible polls is overwhelmingly Democrat and anti-gun. That means “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and legally, with CURRENT culturally suicidal policies) overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners, which is why they’re all pushing for it. And that means if unchecked, it will result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will then be able to pass whatever anti-gun edicts they want while confirming judges who will uphold those edicts and reverse gains made to date.
And yet in spite of this, national and state gun groups are virtually all silent on immigration, and assign “A” grades to politicians who may vote “right” on guns today, but whose “cheap labor” votes will end up undermining it all in the not-too-distant future. It’s the single greatest threat but they don’t even want to admit it because … why? They’ll be called racist and “progressives” won’t like them? That train left the station long ago. In the meantime, they’re enabling the accelerated remaking of the Founders’ Republic into a socialist alien nation.
Besides, it’s not racist to point to numbers compiled and publicized (and even bragged about) from diverse sources, nor to call it like it is.
“But I know plenty of Hispanics who love guns!” is a frequent comment I see offered in rebuttal. Me too. If 80% are anti-gun, that means 20% are not. It’s demonstrable that there are immigrants who are superior defenders of the right to keep and bear arms than most gun owners I know, like the great right to arms champion Dr. Miguel Faria, a refugee from Castro’s Cuba who knows firsthand the dangers of where we are heading. That’s why my challenge specifically excludes anecdotes – we’re dealing with the effects of total numbers here.
I could make the same observation about Californians—I lived there for almost 30 years and had the honor to work closely with some of the most dedicated and hardest working RKBA warriors anywhere. They had to be—look at what they’re up against. But that doesn’t change the fact that most Californians will go out there and vote for Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi and cheer the forced disarmament of their fellow citizens and neighbors.
Does observing that make someone “anti-Californian”?
Bottom line: Anyone who tells you gun owners should ignore immigration and exclusively focus on the “single-issue” is either ignorant, a liar, or both. Anyone who disagrees is free to take my challenge. No one has to date because they know they can’t – not without equivocating and trying to change the subject, which they know I’ll call them on.
So where does this leave us? Some call for outreach, and sure, by all means. But it’s a bit late with the way the culture is being terraformed and the national and state groups should have been doing that all this time. We also have to face the reality that resource-limited efforts they put forth are unlikely to result in any significant and timely attitude changes when pitted against generational cultural predispositions, 2A-hostile educational, political and media interests, and stepped-up marginalization/ostracism of “pro-gun” influencers by social media and search engine giants.
The other thing that’s way past due is for gun groups to recognize the single greatest threat to continued legal recognition of the right to keep and bear arms and so inform their members. If a politician can get an “A+” from NRA and an “F-” from Numbers USA, you’ll know the downstream risks he’s placing on gun owners are not being factored into his endorsement. It makes no political sense to hide that. It makes no sense to not mobilize membership and warn someone setting gun owners up for a later fall that he can’t have it both ways, that his conflicting priorities have not gone unnoticed, and that his long-term commitment to us will affect our ongoing commitment to him.

David, thank you for this Slam Dunk of truth!!!! Whether people imigrate into another area in large numbers from another state, or from another country, “as they flee oppression, crime, violence, poverty, etc”, they almost always have a knack for bringing those very things with them that they purport to be fleeing. The question I most often ask is what did they do to sh*t the bed (in another state or country) where they came from. Just as importantly, why instead of changing the sheets (politicians and government) where they were, do they want to come and sh*t in my… Read more »
Correct. The war against the Second Amendment is simply one front of many pursued by progressives and leftists against our Constitutional Republic. This has been true since the progressive movement first declared our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights null and void in the 1880’s. They have persisted on this track ever since. Administrations such as both Roosevelts, Wilson, Carter, clinton and Sotero have all lead the direct attack on ALL Natural Rights based arguments and they have been aided by fifth columnists like “liberal” Republicans, and country club Republicans. The ranks allied against all of our enumerated rights… Read more »

Did I ever tell you how much I HATE Democrats ideology?.
They are like ROACHES,except far worse.
David, I would suggest weighing the two scores.
I would assign Numbers USA a heavier weight than PVF.
Accordingly, ANY candidate rated ‘F” by USA is a No vote for me.
How important is a candidate’s position on guns, Mack? If they offer everything that you wanted but hated guns, could you vote for them?
For me, I vote for them on guns alone.
@GunFun – I have always hated the concept of single issue voting. However at this point threats to our basic rights are so high, that gun rights have become a litmus test. A candidate unacceptable on gun rights is unacceptable and I won’t look any further. Unfortunately even in Texas there are not always any acceptable candidates – forcing me to did deeper to determine who’s the least evil candidate. In that case I use scoring with approximately weighting of 30% “assault weapons”, 25% RFL, 20% NFA issues, 20% general and other firearms positions, 5% nonfirearms issues. So gun rights… Read more »
Texas is already blue in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso. The influx of liberals who have already screwed up their own states and are moving to escape the damage they did there is frightening as the first thing they do when they get to Texas is to attempt to turn it into the same short of sh*t-hole that they just left. Doesn’t matter if they are from California, New York, Chicago or anywhere else, the result is the same.
@JPM, Yes, the cities. Just like other states. They do not realize nor care that our lives and needs are different. Thank God that we have them surrounded.
@OV, I thought that you were going to say 155mm SPs.LOL
@OV, I’m just a modern guy!
I finally just joined GOA, so, I hope they can get all cases in favor of the 2A.
You may have them surrounded, but you don’t outnumber them. But thanks for playing.
@Now, Clark just go back to sleep. We don’t care about the number of city dwellers because we do not practice attrition warfare.
Problem with blaming everything on fleeing libtards. Cali was conservative before the 1965 immigration act and was recoverable until the effects of Reagan’s and subsequent amnesties kicked in. I know lots of Calis who fled Cali to Texas, AZ, NM, NV, UT & FL, not one a libtard. All hard-core conservatives, far more conservative than the typical Republican where they moved (I was born in Texas, have many relatives there, and I’ve followed the transformation). A couple Calis who moved became hard core conservatives after moving, but they’re the exception. I know lots more getting ready to bail, including me,… Read more »
@Russ, So what is your plan to prevent mass migrations to free states?
There’s no direct way to stop mass migration from failed commie-loafer-loser states to free states, not without changing the Constitution. And you actually want mass-migration of the remaining conservatives from Cali to shore up and save the other states before it’s too late. We’re under invasion-occupation and a legal tsunami. Once they’re here, they can go wherever they want. The only hope of saving the USA is to stop the invasion at the national borders, halt all forms of amnesty and amnesty euphemisms — direct and indirect, de facto and de jure — deport illegals, end “birthright” citizenship, and slash… Read more »
@Russ, I wanted to read your plan. Now you say there is no direct way to stop the thing that you were complaining about.
Oh, and you should not presume to know what I actually want or put words in my mouth, most bumptious.
Nice try, Chief. I never said or implied a plan to stop people from migrating from state to state. That is not the thing I was “complaining about”. So who’s putting words in the mouths of others? YOU ARE. Your M.O. is to argue with your own strawmen, since you’re incapable of honestly discussing the issue otherwise. If you’re going to be dishonest and use leftist projection-deflection, then bug off, billy boy.
@Russ, I did not say that you said or implied a plan. I asked you what your plan is.
You are bitching about mass migration (e.g. ” …the destructive short and long-term effects of mass immigration…”), so I am asking you what your plan of action is.
“Bitching”? Apparently you don’t think mass migration is a problem so you’re being a snippy little anklebiter. Bug off.
@Russ, Once again you have put your keen mind to the issue and come up with the wrong conclusion. Immigration and migration are both problems. Congress has the sole authority to control immigration. No one has the authority to control citizens (and LAPRs) migrating within the US.
Oh, and my boot size is 14W.
And your religion is Anklebyterian. Bug off.
Too late for a plan except to decide your course and prepare for it.and hope enough of the rest of us who give a damn about freedom do so as well.this issue will take blood to solve.there’s only one way to stop invasions and theres no national will to do that.

The early wave leaves due to political oppression, that’s mostly benign. The middle wave doesn’t leave, it just establishes “seasonal” beachheads in red states and corrupts their cultures. The final wave leaves due to economic collapse, like locusts migrate when they have exhausted their food source, and follows the middle wave. What saves us from locusts is their short lifespan. Nothing saves us from liberals.

Americans are a lot harder to get a dick in while armed.
Democrat politics in a nutshell.
All so-called “laws” that go against the Second Amendment MUST be annulled, disavowed, removed, thrown-out, destroyed and announced NULL and VOID!!!!! ALL over 25,000 of them all across America!!!
The so-called laws against ALL of the amendments must be annulled. No one Amendment is superior to any other when looking at the totality of the Bill of Rights. They are all mutually supporting and essential to guarantee liberty be protected by government. If they fail that purpose our government is null and void.
Can’t annul something that WAS NEVER codified to begin with, this crap exists only because WE obey like lemmings.
Which most Americans have been doing,
Sweden is an example of how WE were USED as a test tube for Fascism.
Time to crap or get off the pot.
And when do we revolt, Doszap? Sure, sounds like a necessity, but when? When will the Democrats cross the line? Soon, too many will be indoctrinated to fight.
It’s time to start fighting. The time is now.
@Core, Can we try using the election first? It is already paid for and on the schedule. Seems like a shame to not use it.
Why have them if you release thousands of Felons?,but jail a woman for opening her hair Salon?,
And those who knowingly violate Article VI shall be Defunded, Disbarred, and Discharged form Office!
TX voters take note. Unless you want to become the next madhouse like CA or VA you had better get the masses energized and get out and vote.
Conservatives in Austin don’t feel that. Stacey Luther don’t feel that. A whole WalMart in El Paso without a single concealed carrier in it when TSHTF don’t feel that.
@Larry – That wouldn’t be the case now. After that event concealed carry classes across the state sold out for many months. In particular instructors in that area reported being swamped with Hispanics who had never touched a gun and now acknowledge their capacity for self defense. From what I read, a huge fraction of those new gunners were soccer moms – Got to love people who blend two of Bloomy’s favorite demographics going against his directives. Not sure how well that has stuck, but hard for a mother to criticize her children for wanting to learn to shoot if… Read more »
So now now Hispanics are only 79% anti-gun, and still vote 80% Dem, after all the reach-out reacharound Republicans have done. Give it up. We’ve been hearing this happy meal nonsense about how Catholic Hispanics are “naturally conservative” for decades, yet they still vote Democrat, and every time they do they know damn well they’re voting for partial birth or even afterbirth abortion, not to mention gun control and more deluge “cheap labor”. The evidence is overwhelming. SEE CALIFORNIA.
@Joe, That energizing starts here. You are a spark plug, my friend. We all can be.
Delusional nonsense. Wake up. Texas if on the cusp of flipping. It will be gone within 10 years if the national invasion-occupation is not repelled, legal immigration slashed to a trickle including “guest worker”, “investor” visas, chain migration and phony asylum for phony refugees, and “birthright” citizenship abolished.
@Russ, Ten years is “on the cusp of flipping”? Many events could occur in those ten years to change the situation. Very bold to predict two election cycles in the future.
“Within 10 years.” Don’t kid yourself. Yes, it’s on the cusp of flipping if bold action is not taken nationally to repel the invasion and slash legal immigration, and in the state to stop fraud voting. Texas nearly elected a phony Hispanic Senator a year and a half ago. It’s in worse demographic shape than California was 25 years ago. I saw it happen. I’m still there. I tried to stop it. What are you doing about it?
@Russ, You are the one that came up with the ten year figure. Ten years is at least two election cycles. Lots can change in ten years.
You write, “… It’s in worse demographic shape than California was 25 years ago.” So what exercise would you suggest to get Texas back into demographic shape? What is your plan? Just preach to the choir?
I don’t consider anklebiting chatroom commandos like you to be part of the choir. You’ve done nothing here but deflect from the issues raised in the article. I’ve given plenty in terms of what needs to be done. I’ve asked you what YOU are doing besides pleasuring yourself in public with snippy disingenuous attacks. Are you and your sock puppet pals here pressuring NRA to recognize the over-immigration issue? No, the contrary. Are you volunteering & donating for viable America-First immigration-conservatives to take back seats? I kindly doubt it. Apparently you live here. It’s your entire life, like a little… Read more »
@Russ, You are aware, of course, after my active duty career, I was a Special Agent for the USINS? I have arrested many, many illegal aliens. Now who is the chat room commando.
Why would I be aware that you claim to have had a PAID JOB arresting illegals? Whether or not that’s true, NOW you’re an anklebiting troll and part of the problem. You live here under the Ammoland bridge, play disingenuous gopher games, deflect attention from the fundamental issue and argue with your own strawmen because they’re all you can handle.
@Russ, Prudent people ask questions, when they suspect trolls. We, here, have caught lots of them. So ask me some questions.
Asked and not answered. You’re playing games.
@Russ, You could be aware because I have been commenting on this website for years.
@Wild Bill, you have hit the nail on the head. Everyone here talks as if they are just about to go out and fight a new civil war. None of them are worth beans.
@GF, I did not say that none of the folks here are not worth beans. There are many good, and knowledgeable people here.
Sure, Wild Bill, but they aren’t good for much more than talking.
Who’s talking about fighting a civil war? Some, not me. I’m talking about political action, sacrifice, voluntarism, donations, organization, GOTV, pressuring gun rights groups to focus and win ELECTIONS peacefully, which I have done and am doing. The troll known as Wild Bill is biting my ankles for that, arguing with his own strawmen.
@Russ, If you do not advocate civil war, then this discussion does not apply to you, does it.
Are you the hall monitor under the bridge? Bug off.

It is inevitable that gun elimination is in our future. The demographics demand that all patriots believe that. There will be two and only two choices offered to patriots: Surrender and obey or fight. Anyone who somehow believes that patriots can adjudicate, legislate, pray, vote, or anything else is naïve. In order to save the Constitution it must be fought for. The Constitution has wrote into it the means and authority to conduct that fight. If the patriots of the nation refuse to abide by their Constitution then surrender is inevitable.
Capn Dad, You’ve got it slightly wrong, I think. Patriots abide by the Constitution, it’s the rest who don’t. Patriots won’t surrender.
“The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.” -Thomas Paine. Edward Abbey. And probably many others also. 🙂
USA) As we both know, it’s a while lot better to live on your feet, than cower on your knees. If only the sheeple could learn how much better it is up here! 🙂
@CD, I note that you are writing in the future tense. Why wait? Fight now!
This might be off point but think about this, if we as American citizens want to go on vacation say to Mexico we have to have a passport from the U.S. government that costs roughly $150 and wait about six weeks to get it.
However the government will let in people from other countries with no identification while charging U.S. citizens to come and go out of the country.
The government has this all screwed up.
Remember the Alamo and buy a gun.
@ud, And vote … and remember to take your family along to vote.
Yep, this time around NO EXCUSES !,GET of you dead asses and VOTE.(I think most here already are smart enough to GET IT)
We are fighting to save the country for our Kids and grand kids.
Unfortunately, voting is democracy theatre. When it threatens to actually affect something, the “controlled opposition” simply gives you a choice of two tyrants — or, like they did recently in Virginia, just declines to run opposition candidates at all. You can only vote yourself into socialism, getting yourself out takes stronger methods.
@Dos, Yep, voting is an opportunity to get out of the house!
Personally voting is not enough. Not by a long shot. Saving the USA peacefully at this point will require enormous sacrifice: Voluntarism, donations until it hurts, organization, and get out the vote. Many conservatives live in states and districts so wrecked by immigration that their vote has no effect whatsoever. I still live in California, for the next few months. I donate at least $2,000 a year directly to viable campaigns, and another $1,000 a year to hard core organizations. 90% of my donations go to campaigns in other states that are not yet irrevocably lost. First and foremost we… Read more »
I’m not saying don’t vote if we live in districts where it makes a difference. I am pointing out that conservatives have been urging each other to vote in their own districts for decades while neglecting winnable races in other districts and states, and the result has been the steady loss of the USA, to the point that President Trump, well meaning as he is, is probably only a reprieve.
Russn8r, I don’t think a lot of people here appreciate all that trump has done for the country.
I wouldn’t know about that. As for me, I’ve donated heavily to him. He’s our only hope. If he loses, the USA is toast. But he’s blowing it bigly, failing to honor his promise to cut legal immigration to America-First levels. Instead, he’s expanding visas, exempting the Fortune 500 from his recent “cuts” — which the Center for Immigration Studies reports was actually an increase — importing “cheap labor” and ChiCom “investors” even with 30 million Americans recently unemployed. He foolishly disbanded the vote fraud commission and proceeded to sabotage true conservatives like Kris Kobach and Steve Bannon, so now… Read more »

OF course, but it’s even more critical to bounce RINOs in primaries. The traitor in our own command post is far more destructive than the open enemy on the other side of the wire. You cannot win, you will lose, if your own leadership is dominated with infiltraitors & saboteurs – Trey Gowdy for example.
Any one against the Second Amendment are Anti-Constitutionalist’s=Anti-Americans=Enemies of the United States…
I spent 28 years in Northern California. My son was born there. My favorite dog was born and died there. And there are still many people there I love. But I was ran out of the state by a bunch of dumb ass liberals. Please, Texas, don’t let them Californinicate you.
The liberals got control of Cali through deluge immigration and invasion occupation. That, fundamentally, is what ran conservatives out.
If texas falls thats how it happens.im in laredo now and although texas lost fewer to kovid these folks allow their leaders to fine you $1000 if you are cought with no mask outside you home or car,not to mention a curfew 10pm-5am.the spirit of resistance is being bred out in schools and austin is a red as 1920s moscow russia.
Relax and it WILL fall. It’s that kind of happy meal delusion that will ensure it. That IS ensuring it.
Pretty sure Texas HAS fallen.
Worked in New York and Virginia. Texas has been slowly turning “Blue” for about 20 years. Especially in the large cities. It’s all a part of the Liberal Ideology. Start slow get a foothold. Infiltrate the education system to indoctrinate new future voters and their parents. Get Liberals elected to city counsels, Big and small. Elected to state offices and appointed to strategic state offices. Place liberal leaning judges in courts. Control the media with TV and Newsprint. Advance like minded individuals in police forces. Then when the time is perceived to be right. Pick an election cycle to flood… Read more »
Seems that the Islamic incursion has employed the same tactics. Mexicans as well. And a host of other foreign invaders. Sadly, without conflict, the trend will only increase and in the end be victorious.
We as a nation need to formulate a method of making sure illegals have no way of getting the ability to vote, and that if they do, the Supervisor of Elections and all employees of the district is held to a Felony level offense for allowing the registration. Democrats fight every viable method of verification for voting, that must stop also.
That won’t solve the problem until we abolish “birthright citizenship”. The fast-breeding invaders welcomed in and legalized by Reagan and later by Gingrich have now had large families that are “legal” voters. They naturally nearly ALL vote for amnesty, more invasion-occupation, and more deluge legal immigration, chain migration etc. There is no substitute for zero-tolerance full enforcement of non-suicidal immigration limits.
Although it’s a better-late-than-never approach, this is just another reason to close our borders and stop accepting immigrants. Contrary to the libtards’ narrative, we do NOT need them. Get the immigration system under control, then think about it.
It’s not just the libtard Democrats unfortunately. It’s also the vast majority of “Republicans” and the LOLibertarians. Kochwhores win virtually every primary targeted by Rove, Koch, Gingrich et ilk, because gun rights leaders refuse to recognize the problem and act accordingly.
Let me be clear. No matter how many demonrats move to Texas and, no matter what party occupies the governor’s office, we Texans will not just throw up our hands and turn in our guns like they did in Commie-fornia, New York, and New Jersey. We will stand up and fight for our rights, with force if necessary. Our Constitutional Rights are NOT negotiable. If they come for our guns, they will be identifying themselves as “domestic enemies” of the Constitution and, they will be putting a target on their own backs. If it comes to that, it’s going to… Read more »

I have given much thought to how the states can offset the discrepancy between the rural areas, and the cities. It seems the cities, which have the biggest population of the two, set the precedence. Unfortunately the city dwellers are usually Democratic sheep, hence the flock mentality.
Just a thought; What if the states had an Electoral College like when we vote for the President. It seems to me that it’s the only way to balance out the difference between the huge population of the cities, and the country.
If anyone has a better idea. say on.
@Hoss, You get a gold star for the day!
@Hoss – You would get extreme gerrymandering in how areas were carved up, but in the end it wouldn’t matter. If Texas, California, New York, Florida and Illinois all voted the same – how much would any other state matter? In electoral college type system so many votes would go to the cities that you would have to win a fairly large fraction of their vote to stand a chance. Without changing hearts and minds, demographics are against us. Get more Hispanics, women, city dwellers, suburbanites and most importantly children on board – it is our best bet at peacefully… Read more »
The city folks have Stockholm Syndrome: it’s as simple as that. Article VI the tyrants! If they want a fight we will give them a fight!
Half of us want to live on our own dime, and do not want to give of our blood sweat and tears to pay for someone else’s special needs (unless we choose to), where as the other half wants nothing less than to be “assisted” by coercing us and taking from those of us who work for what we have and have what they need. It cannot be more clear than it is today, that whenever we show up to an event to peacefully protest and happen to be carrying our weapons, even though we do so within the confines… Read more »
I wonder what the Texans here think about the statement today by Elon Musk about his car company in Cali?
@RD, What did Musk say?
@OV, That IS quite a statement!
@OV & @WB – We Texans must welcome transplanted Tesla employees quickly. Important to immerse them in gun culture quickly, before they can start voting to turn us into California.
@Finnky, Well … throw a barbecue, invite them, bring your BBQ pistol to start the conversation and … ply them with alcohol!!! Welcome to Texas!
@wjd, Maybe I better throw the barbecue.
Wild Bill… YOU of most people on Ammoland have a supreme mind… Your thoughts on thios matter?

Terrific hate dog whistle article AmmoLand !!! Gun safety laws work. America has the worst per capita gun violence rate in the developed world. Fighting against gun safety is exactly the kind of behavior one expects from an unsafe, dangerous and angry gun owner OR someone who has a vested interest in keeping the gun and ammo marketplace in America unrestricted and unaccountable. By selling guns and ammo to the good guys AND the bad guys, the gun industry and its backers, like AmmoLand ensure that America will continue to be unsafe, dangerous and filled with shooters looking for an… Read more »
And your Proof ? Diatribe is not good copy.
@Jonesy, oswill is just gum on the bottom of your shoe. He gets paid by the response. Scrape him off.
I am sorry that it is not to your taste. BUT, I don’t believe this news source is geared toward people like you.
Dangerous freedom is always better than a safe tyranny.
OV, I doubt that Och would be allowed to move to Canada. They have standards, although different than ours.
@OV, Swill can’t hold a job that pays enough to feed himself much less move anywhere. That is why he moon lights as a propagandist.
You mean like how you racist libtard gun grabbers openly hate “white” people and want to overwhelm them with “non-white” people?
“Gun violence rate”… when you cherry pick the artificial statistic, you automatically lose the debate. Why don’t you move to Hong Kong? No, wait — they have the highest rate of rickshaw deaths in the world, that can’t be a good choice. I have it — move to Rwanda. They recently had a national genocide… but it was all done with machetes and not very many guns at all, so therefore a great place to live.
@Larry, Swill can’t even afford to move out of his parents’ basement.
@wjd, That is funny. Never heard that before!
@och
Shannon, is that you?
