Dear CSGV: all that name-calling apparently did not work as intended.

A source at the NRA tells Fox News, based on his access to an internal memo prepared by the organization’s membership division, that since the Newtown massacre, the organization has registered an average of 8,000 new members a day.

Have you joined or renewed your membership with the NRA? WTF are you waiting for? And spare me the tired rhetoric, Don’t choose the capuchin monkey over the gorilla. We need firepower, not shrieks.

Bitter gives darn good pointers for the fight.

Specific Steps You Can Take to Oppose the Coming Obama/Biden Gun Controls

I’m going to do a short series of posts on this topic over the next few days with specific ideas for various communities of gun owners. Whether you’re just some gal who owns guns and finds their “gun community” online, own a commercial gun range or shop, or are a member of a community gun club, I’m going to collect specific actionable, easy ideas for you to think about. Today’s list is for gun shops and gun ranges.

If you don’t have Shall Not Be Questioned in your bookmarks or feed, please add it. Bitter and Sebastian are damn good bloggers and premier Gun Advocates

Book: My Brother Ron by Clayton Cramer

My Brother Ron: A Personal and Social History of the Deinstitutionalization of the Mentally Ill by Clayton Cramer.

I guess a couple of months ago, I caught an interview with Mr. Cramer in NRA News about his new book. Since we finally appear to be talking about the problems of the people with mental problems in this country, I downloaded the kindle version and I am reading it now. So far, I doubt pretty much something will be done regarding the mentally ill: It would mean for the Liberals to admit they screw the pooch by a hundred orders of magnitude when they went all Civil Rights for the criminally insane and in my very jaded opinion, they can always make political hay out of the condition of the homeless which make for an inordinate percentage of the mentally ill.

Read it, I promise you will be pissed as hell before you are halfway through.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: “Turn in your guns!”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Wednesday afternoon urged people to turn in their guns, arguing it would be an appropriate response to last week’s mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.

House Dem: ‘Turn in your guns’
Says she who is protected by the The United States Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department (D.C) and the FBI investigates if she feels somebody is making funny jokes about her.

I want every single protection detail removed from all three branches of Government (yes, President included) make them live like that for one presidential period before they have the balls to attempt imposing restriction on my personal defense and my Second Amendment rights. I’ll be nice and allow them to carry guns….of course only if they are properly trained, fingerprinted and pass a background check. I figure certain members of Congress will have to do without guns due to their checkered past.

John Lott on NPR about Gun Free Zones.

Go here for the full transcript.

I think one thing that’s been missing in this discussion is that essentially all the multiple victim public shootings in the United States, and all the ones in Europe, have one factor in common – that is, they keep occurring where guns are banned.

You’d think people would think common sense would prevail. But the White House is demanding a ban of the guns that were NOT used in Sandy Hook. That should be enough to tell you what’s going on.

Twitter Cyberwarfare?

My account got suspended again in less than a week. Reason given: too many unsolicited replies. I know I had a long conversation with a lady about gun control, parted in great terms and were supposed to get back and finish. All other interactions with mostly idiots were short, sweet and free of bad words.

If you have Twitter, search the term #TwitterGulag. Not for nothing but appears to be a huge number of conservatives/Libertarians/gun owners/ and basically non-libs spending time shut down. Either Twitter is being selective on its prosecution or Libs are targeting people to shut them down…OK, both are very probable.

If you do interact a lot in Twitter and are pissing off the right people, make sure you have an alternate account.

ONCE IS ACCIDENT, TWICE IS ENEMY ACTION.
