The Democrats have given their party fully over to a “progressive” philosophy of total government control and citizen subservience, with a government monopoly on arms being one of their primary goals. Until saner heads regain control of that party, it is critical that they are defeated.
We, as defenders of freedom and lovers of liberty, can no longer afford to hang back and lend our support only to the cream of the solid, pro-rights candidates. At this point, the Democratic Party has taken that luxury away from us. Now our only option is to work for their defeat, regardless of the individual stands of their candidates or their opponents. Right now, it’s all about majorities – in Congress, in state legislatures, and on county boards and city councils. Even in states with low crime, and strong traditions of firearm freedom, like Maine and Vermont, Democrat majorities are pushing agendas of draconian gun control, simply because they can, and because Bloomberg and the Giffords’ group keep dumping millions into local elections, in support of radical Democrat, rights restrictors.
These assaults on our rights must be answered with votes. Gun owners can’t rely on the NRA to do it for us. We never could, but it’s more true and urgent now than ever before.
Too many times our guys got mad at Republicans for failing to deliver on promises, or for foolishly making concessions to the rights opponents, and stomped off in a huff, refusing to vote, or voting for third-party candidates with zero chance of winning. That’s how we got eight years of Barack Obama, and most recently, it’s how we lost the House of Representatives in 2018.

Jesus.
Here we go again...playing the “our guy is better than their guy” game, based solely on a letter that follows a name.
News flash:
BOTH PARTIES HAVE THE SAME END GAME. They both want absolute authority.
Look here....when Trump was campaigning, he stated on several occasions, “The Second Amendment will be safe during my administration.”
They’ve already got bump stocks. Now, they’re going after suppressors and have made no bones about the fact they are willing to violate due process and forcefully disarm a citizen who has committed no crime...REPUBLICANS DID / ARE DOING THAT!!!!
McCain: anti-gun, but we “had no choice” other than to vote for him.
Romney: rabidly anti-gun, but again, we “had no choice”.
When, in God’s name, is this insanity going to end? When are folks going to stop being the all-day suckers and realize the Republican party has just as much disdain for your liberty as the other side?
Think they’re “honest”, just because they’re “Republicans”?
“Elect us, give us the majority and we’ll repeal Obamacare.”
We did...we handed them control of the oval office, the Senate and the House. Great..now, repeal it.
“Well...the timing isn’t right”, said Eddie Munster (Paul Ryan).
Hearing Protection Act...could’ve had suppressors removed from the NFA. Once again, the timing wasn’t right.
How many times must folks get the hell beat out of them before they refuse to take “him” back?
Tell ya what, folks...you do whatever the hell you wish that best makes you happy. If that means voting “R” just because they’re a Republican, go right ahead and see what that gets you...see if it’ll be different “this” time or “next” time.
Me? I’m done and have been for quite some time. I’m through voting for the same scum that turns right around and screws us after the election is over. I’m not falling for the “scare tactic” of, “Well...you better vote Republican if you wanna keep your guns!”
Hogwash. It ain’t anyone’s right to take, whether they are “R” or “D”...it’s mine. I was born with it and I’ll be damned if I’ll sit back and let someone else be the arbiter of whether I have it or not.
Make YOUR choice...
It is up to US and only US. If you are waiting for a “savior of liberty” to descend upon DC, I afraid you are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment.
