In, what I thought was a risky move, the NRA endorsed Trump. Now, it appears, some are worried he’s working to pay them back: President Trump promised the NRA he would never let it downand he and Republican lawmakers have been quietly going about the work of living up to that pledge. In May 2016, […]

Another Colorado recall effort against an anti-gun politico moves forward.

Manchin target of NRA ads. Good.

Rep. Maggart still upset about the NRA and TFA targeting her for not supporting a pro gun bill.

Former Rep. Maggart has a piece at the NYT on how the NRA targeted her in the primary for her stance on the guns in parking lots bill. I thought it was mostly The Tennessee Firearms Association that lead that charge.

Or it’s a long walk home

In Missouri, the Republicans in the legislature overturned the Democrat governor’s veto of constitutional carry. Good. However, I hope that the Democrat the NRA endorsed for this year’s MO Gov race remembers to dance with who brung him.

I wonder if any of those regs involve not sending guns to Mexican drug lords? No, they don’t. It’s just retention […]

Has been introduced in the House and Senate. We’ll see if the Rs dance with those that brung them.

Wayne LaPierre: This is our historic moment to go on offense Assuming Trump dances with who brung him. Via Knoxviews, who is none too happy.

They went out on a limb endorsing him early. Here’s hoping he dances with who brung him.

I guess they realized they sort of abandoned us this past legislative go ’round. But now, the republicans in the state are gonna do something about it: “This Task Force will study ways we can protect the Second Amendment rights of Tennesseans and will make recommendations to our Majority about good public policy we all […]
