I'm confused about why @GlennThrush gives such harsh treatment to acting ATF Director Richardson for doing innocuous stuff the ATF has been doing for years. But he gives extremely sympathetic coverage to David Chipman despite his racism allegations. nytimes.com/2022/03/04/us/…
By "extremely sympathetic" I mean Thrush has never once even mentioned the allegations or asked Chipman about them. But he goes pretty hard after Richardson for attending SHOT Show despite the fact the ATF has been attending the show for years. It's pretty bizarre.
This mirrors what the gun-control movement has been doing. So, it's not terribly surprising. Though it is bizarre to go after Richardson for attending the trade show of an industry he regulates. He didn't even say anything controversial. Just gave a time line for a new rule.
It's hard to imagine somebody more deserving of being cast aside and marginalized than anti-semitic white nationalists who literally cheer on Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Somebody who engages pedophile apologism would be high up there too. Who was it that convinced Greene to speak at AFPAC?
Here's something to remember: if you can be filmed without realizing it, you can be shot without realizing it. There are so many videos of Russian soldiers and columns just roaming around out in the open.
That's probably why we keep seeing videos of small convoys cruising around Ukrainian cities and then seeing them destroyed a few hours later. I'm no military expert so take this with a grain of salt, but this whole operation seems extremely incompetent.
The most recent assault on Kharkiv speaks to this. It's hard to know for sure what exactly happened there. But videos seem to indicate the Russians sent a small unsupported convoy into the city.
I went to the NRA's Great American Outdoor Show and talked to some members about the corruption allegations against the group's leadership. Here's what they had to say: thereload.com/members-expres…
In covering the NRA the last several years I've been able to talk with its board members, pr reps, lawyers, and critics. But the cancelation of their major gathers has made it more difficult to speak with regular members. That changed over the weekend. thereload.com/members-expres…
Some attendees, like Tony Colgan, said they were up to date in the corruption allegations against NRA leadership and it kept them from renewing their memberships. thereload.com/members-expres…
