NRA Keeping Close Eye on California’s Sweeping Gun Control Bill

The best strategy may be to just let the CA idiots stew in it for a while. But I doubt if they will learn anything from it. Personally, I wouldn't spend a dime to help them. I really hope no organization comes to their aid in this matter. I'm tired of organizations having to fund a fight against anti-second-amendment legislation other places in the country with financial contributions. Let's just all take care of ourselves. Screw California!

Anonymous said...: The pukish NRA will most likely do there EXACTLY what it is openly doing here in Illinois with the new "strictest shall issue legislation in the country".

HELP THE STATIST BASTARDS IMPLEMENT IT!!!

Thus setting up more fundraisers claiming to "stand and fight" while it soaks up the Obamacare-like INDIVIDUAL MANDATE to purchase "training of 16 hours" to the tune of a cool three hundred bucks or more (that is in addition to the 150 dollar permit fee and the sixty dollar fingerprint fee and range fee and precious ammo spent passing live fire test and range fees and target fees and and and and and and.

What is the NRA going to do? Anything that makes damn sure the money flows into NRA bank accounts coming and going.

Heck, I'm starting to wonder when the permit structure heads for Vermont with the NRA championing the benefits of the training requirements and background checks.

Anonymous said...: Surely you folks realize that it takes either money or war to fight tyranny! If you had rather have war, then by all means criticize the NRA for raising money. If you had rather not have to go to war to fight for your rights, then contribute some money to organizations that fight tyranny in lawmaking bodies and in the courts to help preserve our rights. That includes the NRA. Otherwise you might as well lock and load... and probably bleed something other than money.

By the way, Illinois guy. To whom do you contribute money to help fight for your rights? My guess is no one.
(I think anyone who loves Liberty and lives in Illinois is a fool.)
There is not enough money to make me to live in Illinois, CA, MA, MD or NY ether. I don't care why you live in IL, just leave IL and shut the hell up about it!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
