Drew,

How about we make our FIRST priorities, in this order:

1.  Get that limp windsock, Roberts, to pull his head out of rectal defilade and rule that BEARING firearms is protected by the 2A, and

2.  Repeal the execrable NFA, and ALL subsequent federal legislation in re: carrying firearms.

Do those, and &#039;full faith and credit&#039; becomes irrelevant.  But, yes, if I can DRIVE in all 50 states with my state driver&#039;s license, I damn well out to be able to CARRY anywhere with my state CCW . . . but I ought not need a CCW in the first place.]]></description>

Chris T, 

You come up with the wildest sh*t to make categorical statements about, doncha??

&quot;Historically the “gun community” has also been against the carrying of guns at protests. Concealed or open carry.&quot;  Evidence, counselor???  I would, personally, probably not carry concealed if I was knowingly attending a &#039;protest&#039; which had a significant chance of becoming violent - in a scrum, maintaining control of your weapon can be dicey, and going armed to somewhere where you are likely to encounter amped-up, armed, LEOs is a . . . questionable life decision.

Carry, don&#039;t carry, I don&#039;t much care.  But IF you carry, in a known &#039;fraught situation&#039;?  Well, the saying is, &quot;play stupid games; win stupid prizes&quot;.  Pretti played a stupid game, he won a stupid prize.  But I&#039;m neither for or against your choice to carry at a riot - your right, your choice . . . so long as you understand and accept the risks you are intentionally running.

As I&#039;ve frequently told you, you literally have no effing clue what a &#039;libertarian&#039; is, or what we believe.  Seriously, I&#039;m sorry some &#039;libertarian&#039; banged your girlfriend, but I promise it wasn&#039;t me.]]></description>

Dusty,

We should always have context for our reactions to public statements, of course . . . but find me a &#039;context&#039; that makes the ACTUAL content of Pirro&#039;s remarks acceptable.  There ain&#039;t one.  Objectively, what she ACTUALLY said is unacceptable.  If she had said something along the lines of &quot;If you carry a gun into DC, even if you are otherwise law-abiding and a licensed carrier, and your intention is to do harm or break the law, you will be prosecuted.&quot;  It&#039;s not on me to infer that &#039;that&#039;s what she meant&#039;, it&#039;s incumbent on her to make her meaning clear.  Either her meaning WAS clear, and she&#039;s an anti-gun fascist, or it was not clear, and she&#039;s an inept communicator - binary solution set.  And being an inept communicator is a disqualifying characteristic for a lawyer.]]></description>

Warthog Driver,

Maybe Pirro wins, but UNQUESTIONABLY Schmucky Chucky, MiniMike, and the rest of the idiot anti-gun crowd win.  I hate ALL politicians, indiscriminately (but hate the policy positions, such as they are, of the Leftist/fascist politicians more), but when it comes to actual policy, there IS a difference.  Republican politicians are not great on 2A issues, but in comparison to gibbering idiots like Rob Bonta?  They are almost Heaven-sent.  The Leftists know damn well that, as long as the general public has the RKBA, their ultimate agenda is hosed, so they will never rest until they disarm us all.

An armed populace is a free populace.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The first step for the GOP is making an absolute commitment that every state&#039;s CCW shall be recognized across all borders under the Full Faith &#038; Credit Clause of the Constitution.
If they can accomplish that, then we can talk about other things...If they can&#039;t, what good is a piece of parchment drawn up in 1789?]]></description>
