This game is getting crazy, man.
Oh. My. God.

The Flyers are winning by 2 goals. How long will this last?
2 minutes left. Flyers are still winning. Can they actually hold on?
No. It's tied now.

The NRA's board meeting has ended. I wasn't able to attend in person, but much of it was done in executive session where only staff and board members are allowed anyway. No major announcements from what I'm told.
Frank Tait, who opposes Wayne LaPierre's leadership and is running for the board, tells me he was the only regular NRA member in attendance. That's fairly normal for these board meetings. They aren't widely advertised to NRA members.
I had planned to try and attend the afternoon session, but my flight to Vegas got pushed up. It appears they've adjourned for the day anyway.

The NRA's board meeting is being held at the Hyatt Regency in Tysons Corner on Saturday. The meeting begins at 9am. NRA members should be able to watch in person. I don't know what's on the agenda but this is a normal board meeting. So, it'll probably address a number of topics.
I plan on being there, but I don't know if I'll be able to sit in on the meeting since I'm not an active member of the NRA.
I don't carry an active membership at the NRA or any of the other gun groups because I cover them. I don't mind joining a group if it's the only way to get important information. But, I avoid it whenever possible just to reduce even the appearance of a conflict.

I spoke to legislators, staffers, and activists in Pennsylvania about how the permitless gun-carry bill moved through the legislature there. While the bill was vetoed, there's an interesting story about dueling strategies as smaller groups try to challenge the NRA's dominance.
A permitless carry bill has been floating around Pennsylvania for nearly a decade before it finally passed last year. Other states moving forward helped create momentum. But, of course, gun-rights groups argue their efforts pushed it over the line. thereload.com/how-pennsylvan…
While they all say it was something of a team effort, each group argues its efforts were paramount. The NRA says its efforts to persuade Rs from swing districts paid off. GOA says its confrontational lobbying pressured legislators to move the bill. thereload.com/how-pennsylvan…

Stacey Abrams claims permitless gun-carry would make it easier for felons to carry guns. That doesn't make sense since removing the permit requirement wouldn't make it legal for them to even touch a gun, let alone carry it.
It is illegal under federal law for convicted felons, people adjudicated mentally ill, and those convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors to buy or possess firearms. Permitless carry has no effect on that whatsoever. thereload.com/georgia-candid…
I asked the Abrams campaign to elaborate on her position here but go no response.

"I think the US is better off with fewer Asians"

What the hell is supposed to be brave about saying dumb shit like that? Pathetic.
Josh Hammer appears to have blocked me and deleted his tweet praising Amy Wax's blatantly racist bullshit. I hope he just didn't read the whole thing and is explaining that he doesn't want fewer Asians in America. But, I'm not exactly holding my breath either.
Here's what he tweeted for those wondering.
