This is a good guy to follow. He does a good job at exposing the anti-gun narrative, which is a polite way to say he catches them lying. With alarming frequency. It is on YouTube, which is another social media platform we need to be using to get the pro-gun message out. Before you roll your eyes about being on YouTube, keep this in mind. Pew Research Center completed a survey that 93% of teen use YouTube, 71% of those saying they visit the platform daily. If they are going to be glued to their phones, then give them something to watch. Those are your future voters.

Fantastic!!

Yessir. Bought two of the larger ones from a local gun shop, then went back for 3 more for the kids. Awesome lights. Very bright. Going on three years and they still work like the day we got em.

We had put people in kitchen chairs and carry them down to the stretcher. But this was in the 70's.

Well, it's not going to be much fun. Count on it. We need to work on long term goals and put out some immediate fires (that are here because of the other guys' long term plans). First off, the Instagram platform is here to stay. As one that scans the platform for the anti-gun agenda, they are relentless in pushing their narrative. A few short years ago you didn't hear terms like Gun Violence, Gun Sense, Common Sense Gun Laws. You didn't see stats that say guns are the number one killer of kids in America, and guns in the home increase the odds of suicide/homicide with the gun. Well a backyard pool also increases the odds of drowning, but they don't let that stop them. What they have done is put together an identity that revolves around the premise of safety. And if you oppose the "safety" you are the problem. Never mind they like to manipulate stats to push their ideas. For example, a recent internal memo generated by the Chicago Police defines a "youth" as an individual between 14 and 25 years of age. Can you see where that is going? If you don't have Instagram on your phone, please get it. You can also access it from a computer. You don't have to post, but just read what is out there. These are strategies to deprive you of your rights being broadcast in real time. Not one politician at the state and federal that I have checked out does not have an Instagram page. And their staff reads it. It is probably the most used format for a politician to gauge the momentum of their electorate. And we are not doing so well in that area. I remember in the mid 80's going back to college. I had to take courses in radical political and social theory that focused on Karl Marx and others. I thought it was silly, and reported as such to my family and conservative home town. What was a novelty and caused much giggling at the local bars was a big red flag and I missed it (as did many others). After that we saw young folks, who we made fun of, run for local office. They initially got beat and were dismissed as idiots. But they eventually got elected. Don't delude yourself that your conservative county, state, zip code is immune. In the 80's Naperville, was the epitome of an affluent Chicago suburb. Hardcore conservatives. Now Naperville is one of a few towns that has a municipal assault weapons ban. Even in my own deep red congressional district, there are threats. We need to take local elections much more seriously. You need to find conservative candidates, or consider running yourself. Yes it will require some $$ to put your people in office. Think long term. You can spend a couple of C-notes on some gun stuff now, or back a candidate who may be the deciding vote on giving your kids and grandkids their Second Amedment rights. And folks, we need to start calling our "Second Amendment rights", our "Civil Rights." If you challenge a politician on a gun issue, you will be labeled as a "gun nut." But if you say this legislation violates my civil rights, more people will stop and listen. And we really need folks to listen. So give them something to listen to and think about. And since this is in TEAM SASS, I doubt it will get close to 100 views. Probably should have started with the Ginger and Mary Ann theme. Appreciate your time. Lawdog

Here is a link to the GV Pedia (Gun Violence) 2023 year end summary. As ridiculous as it sounds, these are their talking points, as backed by the Bloomberg Media empire. This is what they push. And people (registered voters) are buying it. Please take the time to read it. You must understand their strategy in order to counter it. Reciting the Second Amendment out loud isn't going to work. Each one of their arguments must be addressed with facts to counter it. President Roomba now has a federal Office of Gun Violence. Something that was unthinkable a few short years ago. We need to beat them at their own game. Now. There is no second place winner (Thank you Bill Jordan). Armed With Reason - Top 10 Articles for 2023 (substack.com)

If you check out the bill sponsors' legislative office address, 2015 W. 63rd Street, Chicago, it is smack dab in the middle of the westside which has a ton of gang activity. https://crimegrade.org/safest-places-in-60636/ Because they refuse to address the crime that is literally in their own backyard, an entire state of law abiding gun owners must endure ridiculous legislation. Make it make sense.

Ok, I'll play. In the early 90's the Illinois Vehicle Code required windshield wipers. But did not require a windshield.

Correct. Illinois registers gun OWNERS. You need a FOID card to also buy/possess ammunition. Many gun stores have a policy that you must have a FOID card to just pick up a gun to check it out. It was the state's knee jerk reaction to the GCA 68. They just felt they had to do something!

According to the Illinois State Police (the agency that issues the FOID card) there just over 2.4 milllion FOID card holders. Of those are about 300,000 concealed carry permits.
