Minnesota Anti-Gun Groups Lose Names

Normally you might call the IRS an evil agency and demand that it be abolished along with the income tax, but here you are gleefully using the IRS for your own purposes.

Normally, I'd call our tax laws incomprehensible and overly-burdensome, but I'd not call them evil.

I do, on the other hand, find the consistent abuse of their non-profit status by the anti-gun organizations to be bothersome - and I am actually quite thrilled that one of these groups has put itself in a position where an investigation will be done.

1) This isn't an "evil" means.

2) This isn't about obtaining political power, but about LIMITING political power. This difference is often overlooked but is actually very important.

3) Traditional conservativism has had it's ASS handed to it over the past 40 years. You LOST...we have gays in the military, used as a recruiting tool in ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS with GOVERNMENT FUNDING, and a total annihilation of most of the protections provided in the Constitution.

This crap stops here...we're taking them down before conservatism is a dead thing no longer remembered for it's truth but instead remembered as the Confederacy is...a perversion of what it actually stood for.

NOBODY in the Confederacy stood up and said "Remember us first and foremost for sacrificing half a million Americans just so a fraction of us can keep slaves."

Now...if someone begins murdering the liberal bastards, I might reconsider, but using any other tools available is fair game from here until the Constitution is restored.

The IRS is an evil agency. Perhaps we ought to suggest to our opponents, as they suffer under it's weight, that it's time to abolish it?

After all, they're the experts when it comes to using the IRS to shut down conservative politics, selectively using it against churches who allow conservative politicians to speak while ignoring those who openly lobby on behalf of liberalism.

Until then, you're advocating sticking with Gentleman's rules in a Viet Nam firefight.
You lose when you do that...every time.

Great news!

Citizens for a Safer Minnesota

Now, if this organization's NEW management wants to live up to its name, they should actively educate and train citizens in the art of self-defense - unlike the previous limp-wristed sniveling idiots who tell their members to "comply" with criminals.

Ever notice how the anti's never have "truth in advertising" in their names? HCI for example...do they really teach people to shoot with both hands?

"Citizens for a Safer Minnesota"

I can't think of a better group to have that name than a pro-rights, pro-self defense organization. Put it this way, the anti's should have had that name in the first place.

The lovely thing about this win is that it's so ironically appropriate.

For years the anti-gunners have been making life hell for gun owners by playing "gotcha" over technical violations (and voting for layering on yet more rules/requirements that can be used as more "gotchas").

So now here they are, hoist upon their own petard.

They play the game of burying *us* under countless regulations, but don't seem to think that *they* should have to follow any rules (even the gun laws, as when Carl Rowan illegally possessed/used a handgun in handgun-banning DC, and Sarah Brady illegally did a "straw purchase" of a firearm recently to give as a gift).

So now they get a taste of their own medicine. Not only could it not have happened to a bigger bunch of statists, but as another poster pointed out, maybe they'll start getting a clue if *they* get bitten on the butt a few times by the same sorts of "technicalities" that they've been using as a weapon on us all these years.

Put it this way, the anti's should NOT have had that name in the first place.

These people want to take our freedom. If we are squeamish, we will lose. Here's some good practical reading (a short summary), Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". Very good tips. Hardball.

WE are the "radicals" now, because we are fighting the liberal status quo.

Too embarrased to send it in?

Seriously, I have my targets in the tube ready to go, keep forgetting to bring it with me. Little bit of truth in the first statement though.:>)

[Shooter 2.5]

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned that something prevented you from shooting.
