Our Democrat governor has come out in favor of the usual ‘assault weapons’ ban and is spewing the predictable balm of how he’s pro-Second-Amendment and he has a family history of hunting to back it up. Not sure that the one has anything to do with other but, hey, if I pose for a picture while wearing orange and holding an elks head that must mean I’m a foe of tyranny.
It’s so predictable…”I grew up around guns, BUT…….”, “My family has hunted for generations, BUT………”, “I’m a strong supporter of the right to bear arms, BUT………” and then it’s usually followed up with some inane free association exercise involving deer, AK-47’s, and the words “Don’t need” and “to hunt”.
Likely, this Quisling is posturing for some sort of potential political advancement come 2020. What he has done, though, is crap the sheets in his own electoral bed. I will personally make sure that this statist nonsense is not swept aside when the elections roll around.
Does he have a chance of making his dream come true in Montana? I doubt it. But the problem is that, like bedbugs and other vermin, he isn’t alone. You get enough political opportunists like him in one place and you get a synergistic form of stupidity that feeds on itself to be more than the stupid sum of its stupid parts. Scientists call it ‘critical mass’, most folks call it ‘Congress’.
And this, my fellow survivalists, is why you cannot let your guard down. There are always people like this who, while entitled to their opinions, believe their opinions need to become your opinions….whether you like it or not.
Vote early, vote often, and stock up just in case.
Last week the PX had magpul G19 mags on sale for $12. I grabbed 4 that I don’t really need.
In talking with the work/ IDPA crowd I realized I need to stock up on practice stuff. Another case each of 9mm and 5.56 would be a good start to riding out a little rush.
It appears to me from an Internet search that you Montanans can Recall the Governor. So why wait until his term is up?
Montana Code Annotated:
§ 2-16-603
(1) Any person holding a public office of the state or any of its political subdivisions, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall from office.
(3) Physical or mental lack of fitness, incompetence, violation of the oath of office, official misconduct, or conviction of a felony offense enumerated in Title 45 are the only grounds for recall.
The standards for recall are high, but even circulating a petition and having lots of you sign could cause him to reconsider, or at least look bad. Both acceptable outcomes given the situation.
Sort of what we got with (now) Senator Doug Jones (D-AL), but the other parts were an absolute crap-show of a special election, a rather poor choice on the GOP side and Big Media putting a weighty thumb on the scale.
His ads came out the same as a GOP candidate, except for the part at the end that, suprisingly, had “democrat” in rather smallish letters. Once in office… the usual BS… “I support BUT…”
Lately I find that all the candidates I WANT in the office have NO chance of being elected by the NIMBY, Dancing with the Stars, Latte Loving masses.
In an unrelated news: I’ve already had the first this year, in-the-wild sighting of the inevitable Pumpkin Spice, be aware!
Californians are like bedbugs. They will migrate out of high population-density areas, and set up home in new, more free, territories. Inevitably, they’ll proliferate there until they’ve also ruined everything good about their new environment.
being one of those transplants, we are all not commie rats. btw Bullock was born in Missoula. he is a a home grown rat.
Commander:
ONE way to reduce such stupidity is to ensure he gets such a low vote, that others fear to copy him –
Use their own weapons on them….
