2020 RNC, RKBA anywhere?

Here's the 2020 agenda...is it just me, where is the RKBA plank? Are there really 49 items more important?

Here are the speakers.
I get all the Biden fear porn, and they'll lay that on thick.
With the possible but unlikely exception of the Pink polo wearing barefooted McCloskey couple, will anyone address guns in a POSITIVE agenda direction? (End the NFA, GCA, etc) I don't see Pratt or Frenchie or anyone from a 2 A group...Maj T? C Noir?

Are we even going to get our ration of lip service during the RNC convention?

Trump every night?
President Trump will speak each of the four nights of the Republican National Convention to deliver an uplifting message to the American people, a campaign adviser said on Sunday — as the full list of speakers was released.
That will get an event covered, right?


Will he mention anything positive Re: RKBA?

Not just you!

I ALSO needed to see, FINISH THE WALL.

Could have stated something more 2A such as, ''End political stranglehold on ammunition.'' ''Tax breaks for on-USA-soil 2A manufacturing expansion.''

SOMETHING
Acquisitions thus far:

-Slingshot
-Butter knife
-Soda straw and peas
-Sharpened pencil
-Newspaper roll
--water balloon (*diversionary*)

Yeah, I'm that good

No matter where you live, your family will not be safe in the radical Democrats’ America,” Patricia McCloskey said.

SNIP

“President Trump will defend the God-given right of every American to protect their homes and families,” Mark McCloskey said in his convention remarks.
Prove it. He can't let plastic be legal.

The very fact that these two are facing felony charges under Trump is proof of Trump's impotence.

We're being gaslighted, plain and simple: The nation is on fire, right now, under Trump, while they threaten that the nation will burn under someone else. The McCloskey's are a prime example of how Trump will "defend" your rights...he won't.

All Dem/Biden fear porn and "Defense".
Friends, we're going to get shanked (so hard) no matter how this election goes.
We don't have anyone running to forward our agenda.

But if you're scared of Dems enough, you'll serve them well.

After running fear porn regarding Kenosha, please watch a White House emissary pass the buck very strongly, bigly, amazingly, to the Dems. If it's up to the DAs, the local enforcement officials, etc...then it's not up to the White House!? Right? But, we must vote for Savior Trump, right?

Are we to believe that Trump is actively repelling looting and rioting in other cities, because, you know, he is in the White House currently?

The fact is we have a POTUS who prefers to "win" blustering urination matches on twitter against a silent Colin Kaepernick many years ago than actually put BLM 2.0 down (rhetorically and legally). That bad seed has been allowed to flower and come into bloom under... a Biden? Administration?!?

#Winning
The Leader we need.

What GOP anyone has come out and rhetorically shredded BLM? Leave that to sports writers, yeah? This is at least some attempt at leadership.

Somebody ask me what legal alternatives we should pursue, because that's clearly the playing field POTUS has put us on...
FORT MILL, S.C. (WBTV) -”It’s sickening. It’s absolutely sickening,” says Matthew Ostrowski, one of the supporters on the bridge.

A Charlotte man was arrested in Fort Mill Monday after police say he fired several shots from a vehicle near a political gathering.

The incident happened around 6:50 p.m. in the area of I-77 and Sutton Road. Members of the group, a local organization for women, say they were holding signs on the side of the road in support of President Donald Trump.

Officers say several people from the group told them three males “drove by more than once, making derogatory remarks and yelling obscenities at them from their vehicle.”

The victims said as the vehicle turned from Sutton Rd on to the ramp to northbound I-77, the driver of the vehicle kept yelling, then put his arm out the window while holding what appeared to be a handgun.

They heard several shots being fired as the vehicle proceeded northbound on the interstate.

”All of a sudden you know bang bang bang bang bang bang bang” says Ostrowski.
Fear not, I've been told for years that this -and worse- can't happen in #Merica

Now it's over...Trump getting a bump...America asking itself who will better offer UBI, Law & Order, economic prosperity, etc...

Did the RNC offer anything but fear porn over Biden/Harris RE: RKBA?

Did you hear any repentance for destroying Trumpstock companies?

Anyone repudiate "Prohibited Persons"?
Anyone mention the proper role of the Militia in American Society?



Does anyone remember the 90s, when it was all about the GOP wanting to make the old people choose between dog food and medication? Does anyone remember the fear mongering victimizing either Bush? The 2020 GOP is just like Bill Clinton's 90s, fear mongering and pandering to their base, allowing the swamp to have its way...

But Trump will be the ultimate victor, because then the good ol boys will not fight the economic/societal RESET...see C-19 2020 under Trump.

Trump won to pacify those getting upset with Barack Obama. This neutered any resistance to the Fed’s plans by making people believe that Trump was going to be their savior. Not many so-called Patriots are fighting the tyranny right now because they are waiting for the all mighty Trump to save them.

Again, facts are facts even if you dislike them. And the fact is, this country is far more tyrannical under Trump than it ever was under Obama. Does that mean I support Obama? Nope. Does that mean I think Biden is better than Trump? Nope. Don’t put words in my mouth or make assumptions. It means the system is rigged and I am no longer participating in it as a pawn in the elitists’ games.
Trump won to pacify YOU, Mr. & Mrs. RKBA America...you will sit down and shut up if this guy wins...
Trump can get away with bumpstock bans, a Space Force... Trump can get away with trillions in UBI after shutting down the nation...you'll allow it!

The underclass of useful idiots are left behind in either event...so they're not a factor.

All you need is to be saved from a dementia patient to get your morphine drip rollin. Tribalism over solid principle. That's what we've been discipled to believe in (you're always being discipled), and that's what TPTB bank on. Just watch the DNC vs the RNC, tribalism run amok.

Who will be able to deliver the vaccine? Who do you trust?
The best part is, he knows it and sticks your tribalism in your eye.

Host Laura Ingraham asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:00] “[D]o you want your supporters to confront the left-wing protesters, or do you want to leave it to law enforcement?”

Trump responded, “No. No, I don’t want them. I want to leave it to law enforcement. But my supporters are wonderful, hard-working, tremendous people. And they turn on their television set, and they look at a Portland, or they look at a Kenosha, before I got involved and stopped it, or they look at Chicago, where 78 people were shot last weekend and numerous people died, or they look at New York, where violence is up by like, what? 150%. … They’re looking at all of this, and they can’t believe it.”

He added, “It’s a peaceful protest. I mean, they were protesting. They weren’t — you know, it’s amazing, they want to protest, and they get criticized.”
NO? What about the American Spirit, Champ? Count him as not for a militia, right Joe?
Former Vice PresidentJoe Biden referred to supporters of President Donald Trump as “an armed militia in this country” during his speech on violence in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday afternoon.

In his remarks, Biden said:

This president, long ago, forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence because for years he’s fomented it. You know, he may believe mouthing the words “law and order” makes him strong. But his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is. Does anyone believe there’ll be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?

Biden did not specify if he was referring to a small group of Trump supporters, or Trump supporters as a whole.
Would that #MAGA meant something about Militias Arming Great Americans. OBTW, the Militia IS LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Both jokers against a Militia / your 2A RKBA / A Free State.
You wanted a positive constitutional alternative, well, we may be forced to re institute this one.

How strong is the GOP Koolaid? Ask Bearingarms.com:
While some like to argue that gun control isn’t a partisan issue, it kind of is. You generally know, as a gun rights supporter, you’re likely to get a better deal from the Republican candidate than the Democrat. Especially since so many Democrats have been pushing hard for gun control for ages now, while Republicans typically frame themselves as being pro-gun.

Yet that’s not always the case, of course.

SNIP

You’ve got two candidates who are really only disagreeing with what degree of gun control to pass. That’s it. Oh, I get Oberweis claims he supports the Second Amendment, but he’s still going to back universal background checks if elected. Most gun rights advocates wouldn’t really call that supporting the Second Amendment.

That’s especially true when you look at how much of a cluster flop universal background checks tend to end up becoming.

Honestly, I’m more sad than anything. Pro-gun voices are kind of stuck having to back Oberweis despite his nonsensical position because it’s still better than his opponent who also backs a failed law that accomplished absolutely nothing except make life more difficult for law-abiding citizens. That’s the choice these folks in Illinois face.

It’s a sad state of the world.

What’s more, though, is that if Oberweis is elected, we face the possibility that a Republican would cross the aisle to back a piece of legislation that should never see the light of day.

Again, it’s a sad state.
MUST VOTE GOP! If you have to do it sadly, fine, but still do it. It's your only hope.

At least there was no promise to get a better candidate next primary.
