Because we have the numbers….
Hell, the NRA Annual Meeting having an attendance size above 60,000. Tell me, how big was your last Gun Grabber Annual Meeting? Tell me, how many paying members have come into the rolls of the Brady Campaign and CSGV over the past 5 months? Wikipedia lists it at under 28,000. We had more than twice the people pay to attend the annual meeting in Texas than you have in your entire membership. That’s also in a weak economy where many don’t have excess cash to spend.
Their only advantage is an interested Government and a cooperating media. But both can only go so far and we are stubborn and many.
CSGV: NRA + Glenn Beck = Losing their frigging minds (Updated)
This is hot off the Facebook presses. Apparently Glenn Beck is hated by the Laddites at the same level as the NRA so putting both together is like the perfect storm for them to basically behave like a lynch mob. I just copied and pasted the comments that you see below the pic as I did not feel like doing a screen cap.

Robin McClary This doesn’t make you look like a good, caring, compassinate man. It makes you look insane, psycho, evil, and a fool, for what you represent, standing there with a weapon in your hand.

Sarah Walton Is that Glen Beck? Huh. Fascinating. As an ex-Mormon I was taught that Joseph Smith said we shouldn’t own guns. His thought was, if you have one, you’ll end up using it. Kind of a good philosophy. I wonder what Beck would say to that? This image is disgusting.

Ron Setterberg This is the gun the second amendment is about. The laws say that the well regulated milita the men must be 18 years old have a flitlock, enough power to shot the 8 musket balls they were required. So I agree with this nut cup if he is the nra and that is their gun we will be safe as they cant reload that fast and we can disarm them.17 minutes ago · 1

Really? did he dress in the dark, or did the Bad Taste Fairy hold him at gunpoint and force him into that outfit?

Amazing! And we are supposed to trust these people? They have America’s best interest at heart? They are peaceful? Open minded? All inclusive?
If anything they are a powerful motive to stock up on rifles and ammo.
One new IDPA rule that some will like.
Springfield XD will be able to be used for Stock Service Pistol division. Also there will be a code of conduct governing the behavior of IDPA members. This according to Joyce Wilson as interviewed by Gail Pepin in the ProArms podcast.
Go listen to the interview of Gail will kill me for stealing her thunder.
Florida, please take notice:Texas House passes 12 firearms bills on ‘gun day’
The Texas House approved a batch of bills Saturday to further soften gun laws that were already among the country’s most firearms-friendly, allowing college students to carry handguns in class, putting potentially armed marshals in public schools and exempting the state from any future federal bans on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines or universal background checks.
We did good killing every Gun Control bill that it was introduced. Next season we need to get some good stuff approved.
In the meantime, congratulations Texans!
