Appleseed On Fox News Monday

Ramseur, NC - 27 August 2010 – Tune in to Fox & Friends on the Fox News Channel this Monday August 30th, 2010 during the 8:00 a.m. hour to hear an engaging success story about how the Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA) is teaching early American history and rifle marksmanship through a nationwide, all-volunteer program called Project Appleseed. Times may vary. Please check your local listings.

Since its inception in 2006, the RWVA has doubled the number of Appleseed clinics and attendees served each year. This year, at least one thousand clinics will be conducted across the country. The exponential growth and quality of instruction has caught the attention of national media – making this upcoming interview the third to offer nationwide coverage during the past thirty days.

As regular readers know, I've attended an Appleseed (Day 1, Day 2, Afterthoughts) with plans to go again. I won't be home but plan on DVR'ing it.

I would recommend that anyone, from novice to expert, who wants to learn how to shoot a rifle more accurately, learn some history, and/or just have a fun weekend shooting w/ other enthusiasts watch this program and attend one of their event.

Quinn Attack Ads

What do you do when you're down by 9 points, you're getting torn apart over giving cronies raises and just had a referendum on gun control crushed?

Why find pictures of a scary looking gun and run it in attack ads.

Yeah, that'll work.

Paul Helmke Short on Facts

Via SIH, Paul Helmke's ghost writer whines that people oppose their attempts to ban private sales of firearms nationwide.

Either way, whoever did write it didn't do much fact checking.

As Rep. Conyers pleaded for opponents of the legislation to speak up, a representative of the Illinois Rifle Association stood up....

...the IRA rep must have realized that the flagrant flaws in his logic would have been exposed.

First of all, it's the Illinois State Rifle Assoc. (ISRA) not Illinois Rifle Assoc. I'm sure the shortening of it to IRA was purely accidental. Right?

Second of all, the rep wasn't from the ISRA, he was from the NRA.

The confusion is understandable though when even the statewide group outnumbers the gun controllers in the state by thousands, just like the NRA outnumbers the BC nationwide.

And they also want us to overlook the fact that all the incidents they mentioned occurred in BC endorsed gun free zones.

More PuSH'er Irony

Via NRA News' Cam Edwards:

Brady Campaign will be holding an event in NYC tomorrow with a rapper (Fat Joe) who says his next project will be a mixtape entitled "I Wanna Kill People Vol. 1". Stay classy, Brady Campaign!...

Lyrics from another Brady invitee (rapper Maino):
You shoot em up and I'm the getaway driver
Hop in my car I'm the getaway driver
The cops comin I'm the getaway driver
Getaway getaway getaway driver

This is actually pretty standard for the Brady Bunch. One of their head spokesidiots is Sylvester Stallone of 'Rambo' fame, some of the most violent films ever made, and a concealed carry permit holder.

Good thing Brazil Has Strong Gun Control

Otherwise someone might have been hurt.

Oh Wait.

Police in Brazil are hunting a soccer referee who reportedly stabbed a player to death during a dispute over a foul call.

Quote of The Day-PuSH'er Edition

Browsing the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership's FB page I came across this comment:

There's no such thing as a "law abiding citizen", only "previously unconvicted citizens".

Wow. Just wow.

And this individuals profile picture just adds to it:



There are obviously no mirrors in this persons world.

Gun-toting liberals

I've watched alot of youtube videos about the 2A and gun control. Since I turned off the TV in 2001, youtube is my preferred choice of entertainment when not slapping the antis.

This video ranks near the top.

Gun Show Loophole Meeting

From the reports I've heard it was, unsurprisingly, a staged 'dog and pony show'. Outside of staff, there were about a dozen attendees, mostly ICHV/BC board members. The Congressthings, Including MI John Conyers answered prearranged questions and clearly showed they haven't read the bills nor have any clue on the issue beyond talking points and Brady press releases.

The single NRA member there was NOT representing the organization in an official manner and the ISRA had no official representation either yet the panel tried to force him to speak, even threatening a subpoena.

This is going to be their push for awhile.

Gun Control Is An Easy Gig

We all know that Josh Sugarmann rakes in the cash from the Joyce Foundation so he can sit and do Google searches all day but he's not the only one.

Some may remember a post I did awhile back about former IL General Assembly member Kathy Ryg. Endorsed by gun control groups. No clue what she was talking about. Fairly typical of your average PuSH'er. Well after she left the GA she went to work for an organization called 'Voices for Illinois Children'. Looking at their website it's hard to say what they do to help children exactly but they do receive funding.

From the Joyce Foundation.

I'm sure this is a legit group but one really has to wonder at their effectiveness if they're putting individuals who support agendas they have no knowledge of whatsoever in positions of leadership.

Either way, I would bet that Ryg is still pushing gun control as an issue while receiving a Joyce paycheck.

HT to Illinois Carry.
