So when Republican Governors advance the Democrat agenda, the expected thing happens

September 26, 2018July 28, 2018 Skip

“I’m so angry that he put us in this situation. I’m in no mood to help him right now.”

This still applies when Republican elected officials do things contrary to what their conservative bases believe in, especially if they were the edge that put their butts into said electoral seats in the first place. Yet, in effect, they make the political calculus that in the long run, it won’t hurt them and rely on that hackneyed phrase to get them through:

Where else are they going to go?

And then smirk. Problem is, it doesn’t seem to be working for Florida Governor Rick Scott as he’s now vying to become a US Senator (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Scott’s approval rating topples after signing gun control bills

Gov. [Rick] Scott saw a sharp drop in approval in the second quarter of 2018, the latest Morning Consult poll shows, a plummet that political analysts are attributing to his decision earlier this year to tighten the state’s gun laws. …

The National Shooting Sports Foundation Expels Dick’s Sporting Goods

September 26, 2018June 14, 2018 Steve MacDonald

After Parkland Dick’s Sporting Goods declared that it would no longer sell ‘scary rifles’ nor would it sell firearms to anyone under the age of twenty-one. Since then, Dick’s is reported to have hired three lobbyists to push Gun Control which the NSSF has decided is a bridge too far.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, Board of Governors today unanimously voted to expel Dick’s Sporting Goods from membership for conduct detrimental to the best interests of the Foundation,” the group announced.

Obama Era Program Allowed Parkland Shooter To Commit Mass Murder

September 26, 2018May 8, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The government-will-protect-you-narratives of the gun-ban left took a few more hits this week. Broward County School Officials finally admitted (discovered?) that Parkland Shooter Nikolas Cruz was referred to the Obama-Era program that prevents arrests for behavior that would have prevented Cruz from buying the gun he used in the shooting spree.

But we already knew that, didn’t we?

Any chance David Hogg will drop his old new friends on the gun-ban left and shift his focus to the real accomplices in that mass murder? Elected Democrats, Barack Obama, and Obama’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR)?

Broward Student Lays Out Devastating Case Against School Board For Neglecting School Safety

September 26, 2018April 27, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The Daily Wire headline says it all. A student dug into the weeds, did the legwork and presented evidence that the district had a lot of money for school safety but spent little, while also favoring plans and policies that actually put student lives at risk.

[Kenneth] Preston confronted the school board two weeks ago and gave his account of what he’d learned to The Hill. In his initial findings, Preston said that he believed that since 2014, the school has only spent around 5% of the over $100 million available to it specifically for school safety. In his new report, he details ways that the failure to invest in school safety may have led to the deaths of some of the students in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting.

Alyssa Milano and MoveOn.org Pretend To Do Some Good

September 26, 2018April 26, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The 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.
