Alan Gottlieb and Wayne LaPierre agree: The lives of CT firearm owners aren't worth a dime of their precious legal defense money.
To call this guy a weasel would be an insult to honest weasels around the world.
Readers will recall that the NRA recently opened a PR war on the subject of the CT tyranny, consisting largely of weasel-worded reasons why they haven't done more: 'The NRA whistles up a tune of pretension in Connecticut and tries to jockey the weeniewagon to the head of the PR line with words."
Readers may also recall Alan Gottlieb's abortive sellout at the time of Sandy Hook. (See also Claire Wolfe's take on Gottlieb the traitor.)
As I said yesterday, I was on Armed American Radio on Sunday and was followed by Alan Gottlieb. Mark Walters asked him about my notion that the legal beagles of the firearm rights movement should seek an injunction on enforcement until the Supremes have a chance to rule on the Intolerable Act's constitutionality. Go here 45 minutes in and listen to Gottlieb's own weasel-worded excuses about why the SAF won't seek an injunction on enforcement.
Alan Gottlieb and Wayne LaPierre agree on one thing: The lives of CT firearm owners aren't worth a dime of their precious legal defense money.
"Hey, watch who yer callin' a 'weasel', bubba."

More NRA members need to consider Gun Owners of America membership and financial support. Give up your "free" magazine, and support an organization that has proven it's self as a true defender of the Second Amendment. If you can afford it, join and support both.
Never trust a man who wears a bow tie in public that doesn't have Ringling Bros. listed on his past work history.
actually the lives of each and every Connecticut gun owner are worth 100 heads!
fair is fair
The ONLY way I would find it acceptable to disregard fighting the semi auto ban at at state level is if 100 percent effort AND FUNDING was directed at two arenas - 1) destroying permit structures and 2) this one being even MORE important, premise the rifle ban fight on select fire.
Here's why.
Heller precedent (both set anew AND reaffirmed) is that banning entire classes of arms DOES NOT PASS MUSTER alongside the longstanding precedent that arms useful in military conflict are EXACTLY the arms PROTECTED!
What does GOVERNMENT refer select fire as?
Oh yeah CLASS three!
I worry and pray for the people of Connecticut.
But I'm also an Illinoisan who's been outright denied carry entirely his entire life. Still am due to the fact I refuse to beg or pay for "permission". Privilege = right not allowance! I risk felony daily because I exercise my rights regardless of dictate. The folks in Connecticut can "join the club" in my book.
Focusing efforts on select fire constitutes going in OFFENSE and that will END the advance of state level semi bans. However, SCOTUS will punt UNLESS there is a case filed in every district that will without a doubt create splits it could not ignore. We MUST use their "due process incorporation" AGAINST THEM on the equal protection front.
True it is that this path would succeed on the semi auto front as well but the danger there is that it would CEMENT the select fire ban!
I grow more convinced DAILY that ALL the "advocacy groups" have been poisoned - they have been turned. They really are just agents of government bent on self preservation to keep the money flowing. Settling the issues is now viewed as a death sentence for the groups it's leaders and their PAYCHECKS.
FOLKS GOTTA SEE IT! they gotta realize that nobody can defend your right to self defense FOR YOU- you have to do it yourself. Sending money to the NRA OR SAF isn't defending your right. EXERCISING IT is the BEST defense.
Starve the beasts, both government and it's agents!
It really is the only way to preserve Liberty!
The gun lobbies are at best controlled opposition, simply because they love money more than they love rights, and the crony friends of the collectivists (Bloomberg, Soros, the unions, the mega-banks) have a lot of money.
Ignore them, defund them, boycott them.
The LAST thing the NRA wants is to win the fight. They want to keep a well-balanced tug-o-war going, with the center not moving too far to one side. That way, money keeps coming in, and certain people are able to keep cushy jobs.
The NRA in particular has been compromising on the right to keep and bear arms since they have been in existence. They are a political organization designed to feed their coffers on fear. If everyone did what the folks in Connecticut are doing no one would need the NRA to lobby because we are the lobby.
I am convinced now that we are our own "gun lobby".
Support Mike and this site and stop giving money to people who are more comfortable wearing black tie and rubbing elbows with those "in power".
At some point, they have forgotten that "We the People"are the ones they should be concerned with, not jockeying for position to issue meaningless and ineffective press releases.
I met Alan Gottlieb many years ago, came over to the house for dinner. Nice guy (carried a great .45 at the time). Measure issue S.649 is GOOD for us SANE gun owners. Go read it. Mike got this one wrong.
So what do you expect? How many idiots keep voting in the same FUCKING!! fools, all the while claiming im a 2A guy. You cant have it both ways. I don't & wouldn't blame the NRA or the SAF for washing there hands of these lost cause states. You have a better 2A organization with the horse power of the NRA? Please mention them. You don't like the laws in YOUR state do something about it for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! move out, vote different or shut the fuck up & live with it.
Razor in the Benewah
JPFO is another group that deserves support in the battle. Forget the weenies.
