All hail Gottlieb the Great and Powerful, Omniscient Wizard of Gun Rights.

Gag alert.

A pertinent definition to go along with this Workman piece:

Hagiography, noun: 1. the writing of the lives of saints; 2. adulatory writing about another person; 3. biography that idealizes its subject.

So Workman equates UBC's with background checks as his boss works to make sure the UBC in WA I-594 survives? REALLY?; January 23, 2015 at 1:07 PM
Anonymous said...: The only hope the Gun rights advocates have in Nevada and Arizona is that Gottlieb and Workman don't try to bring into their states an I591 type vote to confuse and divide them.

The best thing possible is that they stay in Washington state where they have & are doing a very good job of screwing everyone there who supports the 2nd amendment!

But it may depend on how much Bloomberg is willing to pay them to go into other states and bring their chaos!; January 23, 2015 at 1:26 PM
Anonymous said...: Governor: Legalizing pot was bad idea

Colorado’s decision to legalize marijuana was a bad idea, the state’s governor said Friday.

Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat who opposed the 2012 decision by voters to make pot legal, said the state still doesn’t fully know what the unintended consequences of the move will be.

Bear said...: Predict it? Hell, Gottlied caused it.

Back in February 2013, I wrote: "Gottlieb says he supports universal preemptively-prove-your-innocence (background checks) if he can get other concessions. Nice concessions, but nowhere near nice enough to compromise individual rights in WA state or to set the example for the grabbers that, "Look! Even Gottlieb and SAF -- of Heller fame -- think universal background checks are a good idea. So we can go ahead and do it nationally! (emphasis added-cb)""

Shure 'nuff, we saw it attempted nationally... in the Manchin-Toomey-Gottlieb Amendment.

And what was Bowtie Boy's answer to state UBC preemptively-prove-your-innocence i-594? Why, I-591 specifically the door for national checks.

Of course, the antis t/h/i/n/k/ knowthey can do it now. Gottlieb and other money-grabbing appeasers told 'em so.; January 23, 2015 at 3:45 PM

So simple, a caveman can do it.; January 24, 2015 at 1:00 AM
brassbryan said...: looking at the comments that follow the article, its clear that the word about this sellout is getting out.

keep up the good fight mike.; January 24, 2015 at 11:33 AM
Anonymous said...: Gottleib, Show us your money trail. Is it to Bloomberg? Soros? Microsoft founders (Gates & minions)? It must be coming from somewhere to provide the best insider job against Second Amendment rights I have ever seen.

Show us the money, or you will find your hopes and dreams on the ash heap of history.; January 24, 2015 at 1:59 PM
Anonymous said...: Here's the comment I posted to Workman's piece (figured I ought to re-post it here since who knows how long he is likely to let it stand):

Dave? Could you POSSIBLY be a bigger shill for Gottlieb? Did it ever occur to you that had Gottlieb not put forth and promoted I-591 and, instead, spent all that time, MONEY and effort opposing I-594 that - just possibly - 594 MIGHT have been defeated?

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't background checks already required unless the transfer is between two, non-dealer, private parties? Why aren't you guys fighting for 2nd Amendment rights instead of just trying to minimize the current encroachment, whatever it may be? Compromise with gun grabbers is like a frog in a stewpot agreeing to the cook only turning up the gas on the burner a little bit. Sooner or later he is well and truly going to be frog soup!; January 24, 2015 at 3:00 PM
Free Man said...: $6,000,000 to SAF last year and how much went to defeat 594??? Any??

How much did Gottlieb take in from his many other various organizations/"nonprofit"/businesses/FRONTS? Where did it all go???; January 25, 2015 at 12:31 AM

"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.
