Dick’s Sales Drop 4 Percent After Its Embrace of the Liberal Narrative on Guns

Consumer confidence is reaching new heights and the economy is clicking along but not at Dick’s sporting goods.

In the Wall Street Journal report, Dick’s said that comparable store sales from the previous year had fallen 4 percent, and the company’s same-store sales from the previous year were down 1.9 percent.

The results, according to the report, were clearly weaker than expected — especially considering that consumer confidence for the month of August was the highest that it’s been in nearly two decades.

“the unique mayhem that gun violence afflicts upon this nation.”

Global Mass shootings per capitaIn 2009 president Obama framed -gun violence in America as unique. That’s a liberal talking point to advance a gun-grabbing agenda meant to give the federal government a force-majority over its people. But taken out of that context it is true. Gun violence accounts for only a fraction of all violence in the United States. And when compared to the rest of the world is unique in that there’s a lot less of it on American soil.

Alyssa Milano and MoveOn.org Pretend To Do Some Good

nraThe NRA does not represent all gun owners. In fact, it can’t lay claim to more than a fraction of them. But it makes an excellent Alinsky-esqe target the left can try to isolate. Having said that, the effort continues apace. Which means MoveOn is fundraising off it and some has-been actress named Alyssa Milano is happy to help.

I’ve spent every minute possible since then organizing a new campaign called #NoRA, which brings together some of the country’s best creative minds, leading gun control experts, Parkland students, and activists, all ready to take on the National Rifle Association (NRA) directly—since it’s the NRA that is standing in the way of every single gun control measure.

New Hampshire Democrats Oppose ‘Common Sense’ Gun Legislation.

???
???

The New Hampshire House voted 184-146 to advance Senate Bill 500, housekeeping legislation meant to clean up the language in firearms statutes in the GraniteState.

Unlike the State Senate where approval was unanimous SB500 did not garner overwhelming bipartisan support in the NH House. In fact, it received very little support from House Democrats with 139 of the 146 no votes coming from the left.

NH Progressive Senators on school nurses- “local control is fine” (but only as long as you agree with us!)

Schoolhouse State Senate refuses to roll back school nurse requirements

NH State Senator Woodburn basically just said exactly that about who controls the standards for school nurses:

“We need to have school nurses who are on top of the details and know what’s going on,” said Sen. Jeff Woodburn, D-Whitefield, in opposition to the rollback. “We settled this issue last year. The policy has been set. We need to keep the policy and not be flip-flopping all over the place every two years.”

Yet, when it comes to guns on school properties, these same Progressive Democrats were some upset that they didn’t get their way with NH State Senator Hennessey’s amendment to allow local School Boards, wern’t they?  You see, they KNOW that most School Boards, being one of the foxholes that defend the Liberal mantras, would agree with them and carry out the NH Senate Democrats in banning guns on their premises.  So LET them have control, we BELIEVE in local control!

Yeah, right – until they don’t.

Deerfield, Illinois Passes Gun Confiscation Ordinance

The Village of Deerfield, Illinois has passed an ordinance requiring owners of so-called “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines to turn them in, destroy them, render inoperable, or remove them from the Village within 60 days or face fines up to $1000 for each offense.

If you do not turn in your illegal contraband or those fines aren’t paid, government enforcers (active duty law enforcement), who are of course exempt from this ban, will be sent to your house with their “assault weapons” to kidnap you and send you to jail, or kill you for resisting.

Guns, Gun Tech, and Did I say Guns?

Guest host Rick Olson joins us as talk about recent gun tech, how the left freaks out about it and why, what this new gun-tech does, is it good or bad for target shooters, whose business is that anyway, and more.  

Dan Gainor from the Media Research Center

Dan Gainor, VP of Business and Culture at the Media Research Center, joins us to talk about the Nexus of Evil (New York Times), and the media on religion, guns, the Constitution, Climate, and the culture.  

Regal Cinema Gender Bias

Regal Cinema doubled-down on their bag search policy which specifically targets women. We discuss the policy, its alienating effect, alternatives, and did you realize that every mass shooting in recent memory occurred in a gun free zone? It’s true.  

Dogs and Guns and Democrats…Oh My!

People who are unfamiliar with dogs or have never owned one, are more likely to be intimidated or even afraid of them.   While people who are familiar with dogs, grew up with them or own a dog, understand them, know how to read their signals, and have the sense to have some respect for what they are capable of, particularly when they meet one they are not familiar with.

Guns are the same way.  People who are unfamiliar or who have never handled or owned a gun are intimidated,  wary, even frightened of them.  While lawful gun owners, hunters, sport shooters, and  folks who feel the need to own a gun for self defense are more likely to understand them, and have the sense to have some respect for what any gun is capable of particularly when they are introduced to one they are not familiar with.

Treaties, Irony, and Gun Rights – Oh My!

When second or third world Muslim Freedom fighters want to overthrow a controlling oppressive government, the Obama administration is Johnny-on-the-spot with…well…guns; other peoples money for guns or training in the use of guns, or some such thing.  But when American citizens want to exercise their second amendment right to lawful gun ownership (at their own expense) as a long term deterrent to the potential threat of a controlling and oppressive government, Obama and the Democrats want to do everything and anything they can to make that exercise as difficult as possible, if not impossible.

So yes, you need guns in pursuit of liberty and freedom from controlling oppressive regimes just not this one.

Not So Easy

Staples, the Office Supply chain, has denied a local gun store its application to participate in a contest for small businesses.  Yes, I know.  A Town of about Staples not so easy if you own a gun shop9 square miles with the population of Merrimack New Hampshire (Fremont Nebraska), happens to have (a least one) gun store in it run by two Army veterans; sounds like a small business to me.  So why can’t this small business participate in a contest for small businesses?

Staples has rules for its contests and their bureaucracy appears to be as intellectually agile as any other.  That is to say, not at all. In a denial letter to the gun shop, from staples, (excerpted here) we find the fly in the ointment.

Entry contains content that promotes alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of any of the foregoing); promotes any activities that may appear unsafe or dangerous; promotes any particular political agenda or message; is obscene or offensive; or endorses any form of hate or hate group.

But Staples not only sells “weapons”…it allows them to get into the hands of convicted criminals.

Response to Questions about Guns

Questions were asked of me in two letters to the editor that I didn’t see until there was a third letter on May 18th.  My response below has been submitted to the Laconia Daily Sun (http://issuu.com/dailysun) which carried the original letters and all can be reviewed at the link above.

To the Editor:

Dear Bernadette Loesch,

Apparently three times is the charm as I finally noticed your letter in Saturday’s Laconia Daily Sun.  I regret not seeing your earlier letters.

Your letter of April 26 asks, “why (do) ordinary, law abiding people need to own or be able to use high powered, lethal weapons?”  In America the poor, weak, un-famous, and politically unconnected have the same right to life as rich, powerful, famous, and politically connected people.

Law abiding people need guns because governments don’t keep guns out of the hands of criminals.  Our right to life includes our right to protect ourselves and other innocent lives from criminals.  That requires guns with enough bullets.  The police will rarely arrive in time to protect you.  As the NRA correctly states, when seconds count, the police are minutes away.

I am not aware of any low powered, lethal weapons.   If something is lethal, it is high powered enough.  Neither of us is going to care if we are killed with a 22, a 50 cal. Barrett’s, or a 30 cal. machine gun, we’ll be just as dead.  I prefer that potential murderers, and other criminals, are detoured by knowing that they may be seriously harmed by a potential victim.

It’s all about the money, er, children.

If alleged gun violence is what really  makes her tick, why isn’t/hasn’t Mizz  Hawkins taken up the fight on behalf of murdered children in Chicago? Might lead a skeptic to wonder whose parents make larger contributions…
