Quote of the day
Today’s quote of the day comes, again, from Tam:
I would like to take this moment to note that “fair” is nothing but a word in the dictionary between “fail” and “fantasy”.
I’m sooooooooo stealing that.

The Breda does her part. Good for you, Breda!

Bitter has announced a NRA membership drive contest. Do your part, folks!
NRA membership discount
Regular readers (Hi Mom!) know that I am fan of Guntalk. Tom has sent out a new Truth Squad bulletin. In it, he lays out the plan for fighting the incoming Obama gun-ban agenda. I think he lays out the stakes pretty well:
If Chris Cox, head of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, walks into a Congressman’s office backed by three million members, it’s one thing. When he walks in backed by 10 million, the reception is totally different. This is pure representative politics. You are sending someone to Washington to represent you. It is the heart of the democratic process in the United States. Right now, the message needs to be clear, and it needs to be backed with political muscle. This is hard ball. It’s a knife fight in a phone booth. To lose is to die. We lose our gun rights if the gun banners succeed in the coming battle.
I’ve said the same thing here. I can’t make it any more plain. Joining the NRA is the single most effective thing you can do to secure your gun rights. And Tom has backed up his words with action. He has arranged for discounted NRA memberships. If you use the link on my sidebar, you will be able to access the discount.
Once you have joined, buy memberships for your friends and family. Christmas is right around the corner. You can buy a membership for $25 with the discount. $15 for a youth membership. If you don’t want the magazine, a membership is a measley $10. Nowadays, that’s like the cost of a box of ammo.
Quote of the Day
Today’s quote of the day comes from RobertaX:
“Washington is a reverse Philosopher’s Stone, turning gold into dross with speed and verve — and style, oh! What style!”
This entire bailout mess reminds me of a scene from the Simpsons. Jasper gets his beard caught in a meat grinder. Grandpa tries to get him out by first turning the handle one way, then the other. Each time Jaspers head moves closer to the blade. Finally Grandpa runs off and leaves Jasper to his fate.
I’m still kind of hoping Paulson will just leave us to our fate. Every time that guy opens his mouth, the Dow drops a few hundred points.
Another reason to join the NRA
Another plan on the horizon: the Ammunition Coding System. You know, since gun registration works so well.
Do your part! Join the NRA today.

The most important thing you can do now
The day is here. Obama has won. Guns are flying off the shelf. You can’t buy an Evil Black Rifle to save your life.
Before he took it down, his transition website contained this gem (rescued from the memory hole by Google cache.) The important part:
Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets
So, stripped of the codewords, here is what President-elect Obama is planning to do:
- Allow folks like Mike Bloomberg access to gun trace data to aid his lawsuits
- Shut down private transfers of firearms
- Enforce “smart gun” legislation
- Ban semi-auto firearms
The single most effective thing that you can do to stop him is this: join the NRA. Do it today. Right now, in fact. Click here. I’ll wait.
You are already an NRA member, you say? Great! Reach out to 5 other gunnies, or other freedom loving individuals, and get them to join. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Here’s the deal, folks. We are in the fight of our lives. The NRA is the biggest pro-gun lobbying organization in the nation. If NRA lobbies Congress as a 4 million member organization, it has a certain amount of influence. If NRA lobbies Congress as a 40 million member organization, it has incredible power. There are over 100 million gun owners in the United States. NRA has 4 million members. That means that there are at least 96 million of you who are letting the rest of us carry you. I’m tired of carrying you.
“But George…I don’t like the NRA. I disagree with them on…”
Don’t care. Join anyway.
“But I’m a member of…”
Don’t care. Great…join them all. But you HAVE GOT to be a member of NRA. This is about numbers.
“They keep asking me for money.”
Quit your bitching. Call them and tell them to stop sending mail. They will put you on the list. Join the freaking organization.
“They’ll never take my guns. I’ll bury them, see, and…”
Quit the macho internet fantasies and do something productive. Spend the $35 and join the NRA.
In fact, if you are too cheap to spend the $35, if your gun rights aren’t worth $3 a month to you…email me, and I’ll pay it for you.
If everyone dropping cash on firearms today would join up…there would be no need to hoard. We would have the numbers to stop the ban before it happens.
I’m going to make a prediction. The AWB will be one of the first things on BHO’s agenda. I’d say we have until March or so to stop this train. Take the most effective, easiest step you can…join the NRA today.
Do your part!
