Conservative leader on Trump: 'He's a fraud and has betrayed us twice now'

[thoughtomator]

The reality is that there is no such bill and therefore nothing to sign. And it's unlikely there will be any such bill under GOP control of Congress, certainly none that would make it through both chambers.

GOA needs to fire this irresponsible big mouthed lawyer.

NRA uses Trump speech to attack Manchin's gun rights stance

By JOHN RABY Associated Press
September 5, 2018

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The National Rifle Association is going after the gun-rights stance of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin in a television ad using a speech by President Donald Trump in the moderate Democrat's home state.
Trump, at a recent appearance in Charleston, West Virginia, endorsed Manchin's opponent this fall, Republican state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. Without going into specifics about Manchin, Trump told the audience that Democrats want to take away Second Amendment rights.
In the 30-second television advertisement , the NRA says Manchin, now running for a second full six-year term, "is part of the problem." NRA spokeswoman Amy Hunter said in an email the senator doesn't support gun owners' rights to defend themselves.
This is the first of many campaigns in which the NRA expects to weigh in. Other likely targets could include Senate races in North Dakota, Indiana and other red-state contests. Manchin is facing the most difficult re-election campaign of his 30-year career in a state where Trump claimed his largest margin of victory in 2016. The NRA's political arm had endorsed Manchin in the 2012 Senate race.
On Wednesday, Manchin's campaign quickly responded that the senator will continue to defend gun rights.

I'm sure there are some Hillary-lovers that are also members of the NRA.

Good point, could be.

By the same token, could be some Pelosi lovers there too.

Unfortunately, this development might not be helpful to save MAGA's splintering caolition. It was a nobel bi-partisan effort by America First team for sake of unity to bring together Gun owners of America, hardcore conservatives, moderate Dems like Pelosi and Adelson under a big tent.

• On Monday, the court announced that it would not review two lower court decisions that temporarily banned Louisiana and Kansas from cutting Planned Parenthood's Medicaid funding.
• "There goes everyone's certainty that Kavanaugh was going to kill abortion," one poster wrote on a popular online forum for individuals in the pro-life movement. Other commenters had harsher things to say.

The Trump administration just banned bump stocks for guns

By German Lopez Dec 18, 2018

Mark Wilson/Getty Images President Donald Trump’s administration has banned bump stocks, which effectively let semiautomatic weapons mimic machine guns.
The administration’s final regulation, likely to officially publish on Friday, will bring bump stocks into the broader federal ban on machine guns starting in late March 2019, forcing people who own bump stocks today to turn in or destroy the devices within 90 days. The administration originally introduced the rule in March 2018, but it needed to go through a formal regulatory approval process to take effect.

 

[enhanced_deficit]

No he's not.

He's on record over the years as being in favor of gun bans and all sorts of gun control.

The frauds and cheats and swindlers in this monumental cluster $#@! are the people who sold him to a gullible public as being something other than what he is: a politically unprincipled liberal from NYC.

If I'm not mistaken, he had converted to genuine Conservatism and abandoned swamp/Dem values before starting 2016 MAGA election campaign. Rest is history.

An economist might refer to guns as durable goods. Properly cared for, a firearm will last practically forever. I own a rifle manufactured by the Soviets during World War II. It kicks like a mule, only takes a handful of cartridges at a time, and is operated by bolt action, but it still works as well as I imagine it did the day the Soviets laid it to rest in a grave of cosmoline some 80 years ago. Guns do not readily wear out.

Yet, according to the 2018 firearms commerce report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, in 2016, the last year for which data is available, 11,497,441 firearms were manufactured in the U.S., including weapons purchased by domestic law enforcement agencies but excluding production for the U.S. military (another 5 million or so guns were imported). There has been quite a prodigious increase over time. The domestic gun production number from 2004, the year the Federal Assault Weapon Ban expired, was only 3,099,025. Such leaps and bounds in production are unusual for a product that does not degrade over time and which already saturates the market.

Gun Owners of America leader attacks MAGA again:

'Stab in the back': Gun activist hard-liners accuse Trump of betrayal over 'bump stock' ban

by Steven Nelson
| December 19, 2018
President Trump's Tuesday announcement of a bump stock ban is upsetting members of a core constituency: gun owners wooed by his effusive campaign-trail vows to defend the Second Amendment, with two groups promising to see Trump in court.
"If there's anything that irritates you more than a president like Obama who's trying to stab you in the heart, it's one who is trying to stab you in the back," said Michael Hammond, legislative counsel of Gun Owners of America, a group that claims more than 1.5 million members.

December 26, 2018

(CNN) - A gun rights group is taking the Trump administration to court over the ban on bump stocks.

The Gun Owners of America filed a lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Wednesday.

The group says the ban, which was announced last week, is illegal and the lawsuit is asking for a court injunction to stop its enforcement.

Rurals consider 2nd Amendment sanctuary declarations

By Ed Pearce |
Mar 05, 2019

MINDEN, Nev. (KOLO) Few issues have exposed the political and cultural divide between rural and urban Nevada like recent passage of SB143.

It was born of an initiative petition which led to a ballot question passed by the voters, rejected as unenforceable by former Governor Brian Sandoval and Attorney General Adam Laxalt, but was given new immediacy by the Las Vegas mass shooting.

Governor Sisolak campaigned on it as did a number of southern Nevada legislators and it found an early quick passage in this legislative session.

Those opposed could only stand back and register their complaint. Now they are doing something more.

Some rural county sheriffs are taking the lead,

Eureka County Sheriff Jesse Watts sent a letter to the governor saying he would refuse to stand by while citizens are turned into criminals by the "unconstitutional actions of misguided politicians."

Others are urging their local governments to pass resolutions declaring their counties Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

Such measures are being considered in Elko, Lander and Lyon, as well as other counties. In Douglas County, the issue is being driven by the county commission.

Sheriff Dan Coverley describes himself as a strong Second Amendment supporter who believes the new law is misguided and unenforceable, and won't make his community any safer.

"I think it just makes it more difficult for people who follow the rules to do something with their property. And that's what this is in this instance. It's their property."

Bump Stocks Are Now Illegal, Thanks to NRA Favorite Donald Trump

By Adam K. Raymond
3/26/2019

As of today, owning a bump stock, the device that allows a semiautomatic rifle to fire continuously with a single pull of a trigger, is illegal in the United States.

Nineteen months after Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers in Las Vegas, killing 58 and wounding hundreds more, the niche accessory that allowed him to fire more quickly (but also less accurately) has been officially banned. The move faced a flurry of legal challenges before going into effect Tuesday. But while several individual bump-stock owners have been granted a stay, Chief Justice John Roberts declined to stop the government from enforcing the ban. A second request to block the ban is pending in front of Justice Sonia Sotomayor and she’s expect to uphold it.

That means a measure that has been called “the most significant new federal gun control measure in recent memory” will come into effect thanks to a Republican president elected with the help of the NRA.

It’s not hard to imagine the type of hysteria this move would have caused if it had happened under President Obama. But his administration argued it was up to Congress to ban bump stocks. The Trump administration took a different view. Under then–acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker, the Department of Justice reinterpreted existing federal law and moved forward with the ban by changing regulations. It’s the kind of thing that would have had Second Amendment absolutists taking to the streets four years ago.

N.R.A. President to Step Down as New York Attorney General Investigates

April 27, 2019

INDIANAPOLIS — Oliver L. North announced on Saturday that he would not serve a second term as the National Rifle Association’s president, deciding to step down as the organization grappled with a bitter dispute over its future and its worst leadership crisis in decades.
He made the announcement as the N.R.A. faced a challenge from the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who had opened an investigation into the gun group’s tax-exempt status.
On Friday, Ms. James’s office sent letters instructing the N.R.A. and affiliated entities, including its charitable foundation, to preserve relevant financial records. Some of the N.R.A.’s related businesses also received subpoenas, according to people with knowledge of the inquiry. Both the attorney general’s office and a lawyer for the N.R.A. confirmed the investigation.

The move by Ms. James came amid a stunning internal power struggle that took a major turn on Saturday when Mr. North, in a letter that was read on his behalf at the N.R.A.’s convention, said he would not be renominated. He and insurgents in the N.R.A. this past week had been trying to oust Wayne LaPierre, the group’s longtime chief executive.
