The NRA. A gun control group and some millenials are butthurt that the NRA can actually by ads: Leaked Snapchat emails: Gun safety charity told to pay or NRA ads may appear on videos But that’s not what seems to have happened. SnapChat sells ads. Obviously, they want ad money. Makes perfect sense to reach […]

In NY, man pleads guilty to bribing the police to expedite gun permits.

In Casa de Uncle, I am the primary bread-winner. I own three companies, one of which is this blog. This blog, btw, sucks as far as companies go in terms of making money but I have two more that earn us a modest living. The Mrs. has a part time job at a local health […]

So, her hubby went and bought an AR. Got caught. Says it was his plan all along to turn it in, which is BS. Now, here’s a photo of Gabby holding an AR-15 at a range. You can tell it’s real because she’s smiling. They’re not anti-gun. They just don’t want you to have one.

roamer?

Heh. Bottom right icon rocks.

Gun hating and gay marriage loving. Proof he’ll say anything to get elected. Even when he’s *wink* not running. Update: Remember that time he addressed the NRA convention? Proud NRA member, indeed.

Rumors that former Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. may make a run for Gillibrand’s senate seat in NY. Apparently, he moved there a bit back. Ford is decent on guns. Of course, Gillibrand used to be too.

NSSF: Today, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) — the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry — applauded Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, for introducing legislation to rectify a longstanding inequity in the frequency with which firearms and ammunition manufacturers pay a federal excise tax […]

Ford CEO Alan Mulally said he’ll work for $1 per year if the company has to take any government loan money.

I saw a long list of folks to speak at the NRA conference at Bitter’s. I was invited to go but, sadly, cannot make it what with scheduling and all (see, told you they reached out to us gun bloggers). Any way, AC notes that Harold Ford will be there. Harold Ford has a rather […]

The Tennessean says that the race between Ford and Corker will be seen as racial milepost. They also state that Tennessee voters may find out whether their state is ready to send a black man to the U.S. Senate. When he loses, it’s because you’re a racist. Smarminess aside, for me, I don’t care about […]

Tam discusses Harold Ford’s trip to the range: After a perfunctory session on the range with a stainless Smith revolver, they came out and settled up. A stainless Smith revolver? Well, had Mr. Ford snagged the full-auto, short-barreled 9mm AR-15 off the wall and sent several hundred rounds down range with a grin on his […]

Really: Robert Redford has added a celebrity touch to those urging California voters to reject a sweeping eminent domain initiative. … Put on the November ballot by property rights activists, Proposition 90 would amend the state Constitution to make it harder and more costly for governments to condemn property or pass regulations that affect land […]

Oh, he said lawyer. I thought he was being honest about his dishonesty there for a minute.

Frank Cagle, an ordinarily conservative guy, endorsed Democrat Harold Ford, Jr. in a rather backhanded way. I disagree. If you want to send a message to the Republicans you don’t do that by voting Democrat. If you vote Democrat, you send a message that you like Democrats. Instead, if you really have to get your […]

WBIR did: Bob Corker also “took 3 pay raises for himself,” according to the ad. This claim is true, but it doesn’t mention that the mayor of Chattanooga’s pay is linked to that of the Hamilton County mayor. When the county commission gives the county mayor a raise, Chattanooga’s mayor gets one as well. The […]

Seen at the KNS, The Tennessee Republican Party darkened an image of Harold Ford, Jr. Kinda lame. They also allegedly used code words. Though I’ve opined that I didn’t think Tennessee would elect a black senator, I haven’t seen race made much an issue until now. I’m disappointed it has now shown it’s ugly face.

One of the things I liked about Ford’s campaign was his ads. The dude’s got presence. He’s on message, concise and direct (or, as whitey says, he’s articulate). He sticks with the issues. I was rather surprised to see his latest ad with a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous impersonator talking about Corker’s mansion, […]

Via Les (in comments) here‘s the text of HR 1086, which Harold Ford introduced. It says that: To reform the manner in which firearms are manufactured and distributed by providing an incentive to State and local governments to bring claims for the rising costs of gun violence in their communities. Les says: since Ford introduced […]

Received via email, this came from TN GOP: THE TRUTH ABOUT CONGRESSMAN HAROLD FORD JR AND GUNS (Nashville) – On the campaign trail, Congressman Harold Ford Jr. (D-Memphis) appears to be a supporter of Second Amendment rights, but the truth is he is quite the opposite and his record proves it. “Congressman Ford says he […]

It seems like once a week, I hear Harold Ford on the local talk radio. This morning, he had an entire hour. He’s really talking the talk. Based on addressing the issues and speaking to the public, he’s beating Bob Corker like like he owes him money. A few notes in the time I listened: […]

VV notes Harold Ford, Jr.: … believes the U.S. should consider dividing Iraq into three separate states by its sectarian divisions: the Kurdish population to the north, and splitting Shiite and Sunni Muslims to the south. I don’t disagree.

With the primary decided, lets’ look at an issue important to me. I’ll do a post on Corker as soon as the man actually, you know, has a record. This morning on the local talk radio, Ford was asked about the second amendment. He stated he had a B rating from the NRA. I reported […]

Realted to this, R. Neal: …Howard Dean campaign workers from New England, wearing Birkenstocks and blue jeans and hippie haircuts, are standing in an Iowa living room explaining what is important to rural voters in Iowa and why they should support Dean in the primary. They were talking instead of listening, and lecturing instead of […]

Glenn and Helen interview Harold Ford, Jr.

No, really. It seems his office sent a letter asking the parole board to take into consideration the positive steps Mr. Britt has taken. Britt is a convicted murderer. The letter was sent in error. A few blogs picked up on it and the Ford campaign responds with: The following quote is Harold Ford Jr.’s […]

Mike has the latest on another embarrassment for Harold Ford. Do they ever end?
