Supreme Court: Second Amendment protects “all bearable arms” – HUGE Victory for Gun Owners, Again!
March 23, 2016John Kasich: Anti-gun “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”
March 20, 2016Comes word, from the Center for Responsive Politics, that Leftist billionaire George Soros, through his Soros Fund Management, is one of John Kasich’s top financial contributors.
This can hardly be a surprise.
Kasich and Soros share two important traits: (1) their desire to mess up the Republican selection process for devious motives, and (2) their absolute hatred for the Second Amendment.
Kasich’s antipathy towards gun rights is no secret to anyone who’s watched his career. Make no mistake about it: When we are winning by a large margin — when we don’t need John Kasich’s vote — he’s usually there to give us a big, wet “Don Corleone kiss.”
But when the vote is close and the future of the Second Amendment is at stake, “Godfather John” usually leaves us a severed horsehead in our bed. 
Thus, Kasich famously joined a gaggle of fellow-RINO’s and cast the deciding vote to impose a ban on semi-auto firearms. For this, he received a personal letter of thanks from a gun-hating Bill Clinton.
Kasich voted for background checks in 1993, a system where roughly 95% of denials are “false positives.” Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department has, since November, shifted FBI employees to insure that, if you’re illegally blocked by NICS from purchasing a firearm, you can never get your record corrected.
In 1999, Kasich voted to retain restrictive gun ban in Washington, D.C. Not only that, Kasich joined the effort to pass 90% of Clinton’s anti-gun agenda as a form of “gun control lite.”
Elements of the Kasich/Clinton agenda included:
(1) Provisions making it virtually impossible to legally teach kids how to use firearms;
(2) A gun show ban (masquerading as a gun show Instant Check); and
(3) Mandates to require you to “lock up your guns.”
Had Clinton been successful in passing his post-Columbine anti-gun agenda, it would have provided a legislative platform which could easily have eviscerated the Second Amendment over the last decade-and-a-half.
But Kasich’s efforts to outlaw guns — drip-by-drip — continues to this day.
Kasich continues to be a chief advocate of actual or de facto amnesty, claiming that enforcing our immigration laws would be “inhumane.”
Of course, if Kasich gets his way, the legalization of 11 million illegals will have the same effect on the American electorate that the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty had on California. The country as a whole would become deep “anti-gun blue.”
And, of course, Kasich was one of the first RINO’s to legitimize the anti-gun ObamaCare program by bringing its massive Medicaid segment into his state.
Now, all it will take is for Obama to do a computer search of Kasich’s Medicaid beneficiaries for “PTSD,” “Alzheimer’s,” and other “mental defectives,” and the gun rights of tens of thousands of law-abiding Ohioans could be jeopardized.
And all of this was done by Kasich’s particularly nasty form of politics which he is now trying to morph, incredibly, into his “Mr. Nice” act.
These actions, of course, reflect the hatred for guns by Kasich’s patron, George Soros.
You may remember that, when Soros launched his campaign of “exposes” designed to destroy the conservative movement piece-by-piece, his first target was Gun Owners of America — which Soros viewed as even more dangerous than the Koch brothers.
But perhaps as bad as Kasich’s anti-gun record is his determination to destroy the GOP selection process for personal gain.
Surely, even the vainglorious Kasich understands that, the longer he stays is the race, the longer the “divided field” makes it easier for an establishment candidate to hijack the process at the convention.
Polls have shown — here and here — that Ted Cruz would beat Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup.
But by becoming the REAL “chaos candidate,” Kasich helps destroy the Republican Party by throwing the nomination to someone who is despised by the grassroots. In so doing, Kasich does the bidding of his master, George Soros.
Ted Cruz would be the natural one to aggressively call out anti-gunner John Kasich for his anti-gun record.
Please contact Ted Cruz and urge him to expose Kasich. Let’s not let Kasich pull the wool over the eyes of American voters.
Sincerely,
Tim Macy
Chairman
Gun Owners of America
P.S. While you cannot use GOA’s Legislative Action Center to email Senator Ted Cruz — unless you are a constituent of his — you can easily contact him through his webform.
So simply copy-n-paste the pre-written letter below into Senator Ted Cruz’ webform and urge him to expose Senator John Kasich’s anti-gun record.
—– Pre-written letter for Sen. Ted Cruz —–
Dear Senator Cruz:
Thank you so much for your strong defense of the Constitution — and in particular, the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Gun Owners of America has informed me that John Kasich has a long record of supporting gun control, including the following:
1) Kasich cast the deciding vote to impose a ban on semi-auto firearms, and for this, he received a personal letter of thanks from a gun-hating Bill Clinton. See: tinyurl.com/hp4ucsp
2) Kasich voted for background checks in 1993, a system which is now blocking a percentage of legal gun purchases. Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department has, since November, shifted FBI employees to insure that, if someone is illegally blocked by NICS from purchasing a firearm, they can never get their record corrected. See: tinyurl.com/hp4ucsp
3) In 1999, Kasich voted to retain restrictive gun ban in Washington, D.C. See: tinyurl.com/zyljbep
4) Also in 1999, he voted for provisions making it virtually impossible to legally teach kids how to use firearms; for a gun show ban (masquerading as a gun show Instant Check); and for mandates to requiring people to “lock up their guns.” See: tinyurl.com/jq84rcd
With John Kasich deciding to remain in the presidential race, I think it’s important for someone on the national level to expose his anti-gun votes.
I hope you will continue to point out Kasich’s anti-gun positions.
Sincerely,
7 myths…
February 16, 2016Alright, it’s all starting again. So to speak… The anti liberty and freedom forces are back at it again as usual. Well, here is the best summation that I have found anywhere when it comes to understanding the debate about destroying your right to be able to properly and effectively defending yourself as well as others…
She is so psychologically dysfunctional that she even wants police officers listed on the gun owner registry.
January 16, 2016Seriously, there are people in this world so warped in their thinking that they can compare those in the freedom and liberty movement to the lowest of perverts. Go here to read about this…
Should time permit I think that I will start a new page, and play out the stereotypes that are tossed around. Now, that would be an interesting play on the psychology that makes up those of The Tyranny of the Majority that is today’s curse of Political Correctness.
One sick puppy; Can’t this POTUS ever tell the truth about anything?
January 12, 2016From Gun Owners of America:
The president conducted another dog-and-pony show last week during a CNN-sponsored “Town Hall.”
The president trotted out several worn-out lies, like his claim that guns are more likely to kill you than save your life.
He even had the audacity to say that background checks are necessary since we wouldn’t otherwise know if drug dealers were buying guns.
Really?!? Has the president already forgotten Fast & Furious — when his administration gave green lights to known criminals so they could purchase firearms and smuggle them south of the border?
Of course he didn’t forget, but this president doesn’t care about facts or statistics that don’t support his ambitious gun control agenda.
The United States is experiencing record low crime rates, but Obama continues to pursue his anti-gun agenda in spite of the fact that murder rates are at their lowest levels in 25 years.
Nevertheless, Obama tried to make his radical agenda sound like it’s simply a few tweaks here and there — ignoring, of course, that his oath to uphold the Constitution should prevent him from imposing any “infringements” on gun rights at all.
GOA on the Front Lines
Though the President’s media circus last Thursday night was tightly controlled by the White House, GOA spokesmen have appeared on more than a thousand media outlets to discuss the President’s agenda.
You can view a few of them here:
* Larry Pratt Debunking the “Gun Show Loophole” on Fox Business News;
* A “tense” debate with a CNN host who attempted to keep me from debunking the anti-gun liberals’ talking points.
* Plus many more radio and TV appearances where GOA spokesmen have recently taken on Obama’s gun control proposals — all viewable at GOA’s YouTube page here.
So you say you want a revolution; Ladies and gentlemen this is not about a Beatles song.
December 10, 2015The Left Calls for Confiscating Your Guns in Wake of California Shooting
ACTION: The anti-gun Left is pulling out the stops and is now calling for gun confiscation. We have to meet “fire with fire.” So forward this alert to ten people. Encourage your pro-gun family and friends to sign up for GOA alerts.
And, you can also give Gift Memberships to your family/friends this holiday season. We need your support and activism more than ever!
The Anti-gun Left Declares War on Your Gun Rights
President Obama took to the airwaves on Sunday night and told the nation we need more gun control. 
Hillary Clinton — the one who will most likely be the Democrat nominee for president in 2016 — recently called for an all-out war on guns, as well.
And then, for the first time since 1920, the New York Times published an editorial on the front page of their newspaper.
This is important because the editorial page of the Times reflects the thinking of the anti-gun Democrat Left.
And what is the theme of the Times‘ most important message in nearly a hundred years?
In two words: Gun Confiscation.
The Left “drops the gloves,” calls for gun confiscation
The New York Times said this weekend that:
It is past time to stop talking about halting the spread of firearms, and instead to reduce their number drastically — eliminating some large categories of weapons and ammunition.It is not necessary to debate the peculiar wording of the Second Amendment. No right is unlimited and immune from reasonable regulation.
The Times continues that there would be no grandfather clause for the 300,000,000-plus firearms we currently own:
[I]t would require Americans who own these kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.
So there you have it. You need to give up your guns — for the good of the country.
Ironically, the editors at The Washington Post are furious with the Times for letting the “cat out of the bag.”
They called the Times’ editorial “predictably polarizing.”
But as one insightful journalist noted, the Post editors are only upset because the Times’ piece confirms “every gun owner’s worst fear — namely, that all the talk about gun safety and reducing gun violence is just a sham, and the real agenda of the gun control movement is total confiscation.”
Gun confiscation has always been the goal of the anti-gun Left
Everyone has known that a Hillary presidency would result in greater restrictions on our Second Amendment rights.
Not a GOA member yet? You can join Gun Owners of America today for only $20!
But now her mouthpiece at the Times has explicitly revealed what we knew already was the case — the Left wants to CONFISCATE YOUR GUNS.
Anti-gun radicals usually try not to say this publicly, because they know that talk of gun confiscation loses elections.
But when caught on “candid camera,” they tell you they want to confiscate guns.
Take Maryland’s Deputy Attorney General — a liberal Democrat — who was recently caught on hidden camera stating “we should ban guns altogether, period.”
Or remember when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) said, in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, that among the different gun control proposals that were being bandied about, “[gun] confiscation could be an option.”
Or when several Democrat state senators were caught on an open microphone in New Jersey saying, “We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.”
This is their agenda.
Anti-gunners blame YOU for massacres like San Bernardino’s
In its editorial, the Times lambasted pro-gun, Republican politicians who “abet would-be killers by creating gun markets for them, and voters allow those politicians to keep their jobs.”
That’s what the Left thinks of you. They think that your rights and freedoms … that your guns which have NEVER harmed anyone — are the problem because you are aiding and abetting killers.
These are the stakes we face in the 2016 elections.
If Clinton wins, we can expect her to push the same Times’ agenda, which will include the elimination of “large categories of weapons and ammunition” — probably by executive fiat.
And we can expect the Obama-packed courts to roll over and ignore the “peculiar wording of the Second Amendment.”
You have eleven months before the November, 2016, elections.
And everything we believe in is at stake.
Please forward this alert and encourage your pro-gun family and friends to sign up for GOA alerts.
And take this holiday season as an opportunity to give Gift Memberships to your family and friends.
We need your support and activism more than ever!
A Tory to the left of me, and a Tory to the right! Jeb Bush, a Bloomberg clone…

More shenanigans in Wyoming
September 11, 2015Yesterday on your behalf, I testified at Cheyenne’s city council on the record and against an egregious scheme that will place power in a small group of politically appointed bureaucrats.
This so-called Human Rights Advisory Council measure was led by (Phony Republican) Cheyenne city councilman Dicky Shanor.
The push for these shady local councils – is modeled directly after the similarly named “United Nations Human Rights Advisory Council” – and they first started popping up in San Francisco and neighboring California communities during the mid sixties.
Today these United Nations styled Human Rights Councils span America from coast to coast. And wouldn’t you know, they all have one thing in common…the United Nation’s demand for the confiscation of guns from American citizens as a “human right” for safety.
These councils use a variation of the Delphi-Method to lobby the public as well as influence state government. By using specially picked political appointees that appear as everyday concerned citizens, they push to advance support on a host of progressive ideals, including gun control.
Cleverly this is how politicians can push an agenda — then hide behind a citizen panel, when they ask for your vote at reelection time.
Too bad for them, we’re on to them!
In Wyoming, it’s always the usual suspects like Dicky Shanor pushing the progressive envelope. These Liberal-Progressives work within the confines of the Republican party because they just can’t get elected as Democrats.
Republicans like Shanor, and a Party that refuses to hold their own accountable — is the very reason we must be so critical of the recent statewide Republican fund-raising campaign dubbed – “Grow The Party.”
It should be noted that Shanor was the prior Chairman of the Laramie Republican Party.
And it’s just as it seems, Republican ‘Elitists’ like Shanor quickly find the revolving door into Wyoming government.
It’s flat out sickening that councilman Shanor used the usual tactics to make it difficult for the public to participate in the proceedings by having the hearing at 12 noon, and to schedule the hearing in the smallest room possible with people literally lining the hallway.
All while 20 feet away, the much larger Cheyenne city council chambers were empty. You just can’t make this stuff up!
Besides being a lawyer and city council member, phony Republican Shanor also works as the Chief of Staff of another Phony Republican, Jillian Balow, Wyoming’s Superintendent of Education who testified in both the House and Senate committees against the Repeal of Gun Free Zones in Wyoming.
Like the old saying goes, “Birds of a Feather flock Together.”
Jillian Balow and Dicky Shanor
So yesterday, it came at no surprise, that Dicky Shanor was leading the charge to implement an unscrupulous Marxist government scheme.
The good news is…
On it’s initial introduction we made sure Shanor’s move met hard scrutiny from gun owners.
But here’s the warning…
While the measure was temporarily tabled in yesterdays sub-committee—->Despite the opposition, Shanor stated, in open committee, that he will rework the language and bring it before the council again.
This is why I will be keeping a close eye on every move of Cheyenne’s city council as they act to repackage and reintroduce Shanor’s United Nations scheme.
Remember, as I am at the ready to aggressively push back at Wyoming’s progressive anti-gun politicians—->where ever they may be. This will continue to be possible only because of your financial support.
If you are a regularly reader, but have not become an active supporter – please consider chipping in $10 or $20, so WyGO can remain the strong voice for gun rights in Wyoming.
For Freedom,
Anthony Bouchard
Executive Director
Wyoming Gun Owners
Depending on the government
June 15, 2015These pages have, for years decried how people and organizations have depended on government in order to keep body and soul together. It is indeed a two edged sword. One that, like a pendulum always swings in both directions. Businesses, like people, are subject to the addiction process.It’s time for some tough love. I can only hope that a champion of capitalism comes to the rescue.
Colt Defense LLC, the 179-year-old gunmaker that supplies M4 carbines and M16 rifles for the U.S. and foreign militaries, filed for bankruptcy amid delayed government sales and declining demand.
The West Hartford, Connecticut-based firearms maker listed assets of as much as $500 million and debt of as much as $500 million in a Chapter 11 filing late Sunday in bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware. Wilmington Trust Company is listed as the biggest unsecured creditor with a $261 million claim.
Wyoming Senators: Silence is anything but golden!
