Hey, Dems, How About Expanded Background Checks on Truck Rentals

January 2, 2025 Steve MacDonald

On New Year’s Day in New Orleans, on a famous stretch of road known as Bourbon Street, a US citizen used a rented pickup truck to kill twenty people and wound many more. This mass casualty event – we can’t say mass shooting because the only individual to die from gunfire was the perp when … Read more

March 30, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Pelosi’s dreaded HR8 has loomed large over the 2A community. It would require background checks for every “legal” transfer of a firearm.

Watts and Bloomberg Must Be Losing Their Minds: Over 7 Million Guns Sold so far in 2020

May 4, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Democrats wanted more background checks. Well, they got them in March. A record of 3,740,688 were processed. Then came April. It did not beat March, but it keeps things moving with a 71% surge over guns purchased in April 2019 (and) 2.9 million background checks.

New Mexico Criminalizes Private Gun Sales

March 10, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Mexico’s governor has signed legislation making it illegal to engage in private gun sales in the state. It is meant to close one of those loop-holes Democrats like to talk about. One that, according to the new law, does not exist for everyone.

Just How Dumb Is Sherry Frost?

March 1, 2019 Ed Mosca

This tweet from Eric Swalwell (Socialist – CA): It was retweeted by “Representative” Sherry Frost, who then went on a twitter storm that included: Well, maybe you should have read the article rocket scientist: Hey, Sherry, there is an alternative to “imagining” what is in an article. It is especially useful when you have an … Read more

Pappas and Kuster Vote No on Reporting Illegal Immigrants Who Try to Buy a Gun to ICE

February 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Illegal immigrants are here illegally. Illegal immigrants who try to buy a gun are obtaining them illegally. New Hampshire Democrat’s Chris Pappas and Ann Kuster voted against an amendment that would require ICE be notified when an illegal immigrant tries to buy a gun illegally.

Look Who Is Against Democrat Background Check Bill

September 26, 2018June 2, 2013 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats attacked Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte’s vote on the background check bill by supporting the out of state anti-gun money spent by New York City Mayor while bringing someone from Connecticut here to tell us how we need to support the same kinds of laws for New Hampshire that failed in Connecticut–as if we couldn’t make that choice for ourselves.

Well someone has a message for those New Hampshire Democrats and Mayor Bloomberg…

The mayor of New York City is running ads against me because I opposed President Obama’s gun control legislation. Nothing in the Obama plan would have prevented tragedies like Newtown, Aurora, Tucson or even Jonesboro. I’m committed to finding real solutions to gun violence while protecting our Second Amendment rights.

Who said it?

Are NH Democrats just Making Stuff Up about Background Checks?

September 26, 2018May 5, 2013 Steve MacDonald

There are more lies about background checks coming from the New Hampshire Democrat Party than truths and no polling can possibly explain the disparity unless the polls are flawed, skewed, or just made up.

Ninety percent of New Hampshire citizens cannot possibly be in favor of Manchin Toomey background checks when less than 90% of all Democrats are willing to push the meme themselves. And given that 100% of Democrats don’t agree with the narrative this makes the math required to justify the number impossible.

NH Democrats Focused on The Economy

September 26, 2018May 4, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Hah! No they’re not. If that were true they wouldn’t be blowing out the state budget and growing spending five times faster than estimated growth.

Democrats. Don’t you love them?

What they are actually focused on is off-shoring (that’s a metaphor) their own responsibility for managing our sovereign state. Instead of standing up and running on the Democrat party stated position on super-duper enhanced background checks at the state level, they are passing the buck on to the Federal government. It’s a big deal for them, “off-shoring” your state’s rights to the feds.

So Every New Hampshire Democrat Will Be Running on Background Checks in 2014?

September 26, 2018May 3, 2013 Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire Democrat party is all-in on their background-check thing. They’ve got out of state money, out of state influence, out of state victims as props… So I guess this is pretty important to New Hampshire Democrats then? And to hear them talk, it is mighty important to New Hampshire citizens as well. Or is that just talk?

Can we expect every Democrat in the state at every level run for reelection on this issue? Will every New Hampshire Democrat running for office in 2014 put background checks at the top of every palm cards, flyer, mailer, and campaign web-site?

If New Hampshire citizens are behind this idea to the degree that New Hampshire Democrats claim, (just ask them, ‘everyone is talking about it’), then you’ll be running strongly on this issue, in all 400 house races, and all 24 state Senate races, the Governors race, plus the US Senate and Congressional races?

Did NH Democrats Encourage Erica Lafferty to Crash Kelly Ayotte’s NH Town Hall?

September 26, 2018May 1, 2013 Steve MacDonald

puppet-master

Who in the New Hampshire Democrat party reached out to Erica Lafferty–the daughter of slain Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung–to encourage her to leave her own state, which has all kinds of background checks for gun purchases that did no good at all, to come to New Hampshire and lean on our State Senator?

Talk about out of state influence.

With all due respect and deepest condolences to Ms. Lafferty for her loss, you are being played. All you did was reduce your very real tragedy to a tragic comedy by coming to my state to intimidate my Senator for not voting to pass a bill that would not have done one damn thing to prevent what happened to your mother. Or didn’t the Democrats, or the magazine editors, or the folks on the Today show, or whomever they’ve had you with or in front of tell you that yet?

About That 90%

September 26, 2018April 23, 2013 Steve MacDonald

For those inclined to continue the relentless regurgitation of democrat demagoguery about how many Americans want more federal gun control, well–there’s this, from that bastion of right wing extremism, USA Today.

Americans are more narrowly divided on the issue than in recent months, and backing for a bill has slipped below 50%, the poll finds. By 49%-45%, those surveyed favor Congress passing a new gun-control law. In an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in early April, 55% had backed a stricter gun law, which was down from 61% in February. …

Not to worry. The anti-executive order President of the people will be doing anything and everything he can with executive orders to give the people what they do not seem to want.

Let’s Take Kelly Ayotte On A Trip In the Way-Back Machine

September 26, 2018April 12, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Susan DeLemus shared this. It is a link to a pdf file; Kelly Ayotte’s complete 2010 New Hampshire Firearms Coalition Survey (NHFC). In it she identifies herself as pro-gun. Very much so. It looks like she answered all the questions ‘right.’ So I expect, having gone back in time to this 2010 survey, that moving … Read more
