What this means is that blaming stripping the full hearing protection act on the senate parliamentarian is a lie. The deceit has a purpose as I'll explain later.

The GOP has always been gun controllers at heart, much like the democrats, but knowing they need the support of gun owners to win. Feigning support for gun rights has always been just a political ploy.

@GunOwners @gunpolicy @dcodrea @WiscoDaveTRO @JDVance @LeaderJohnThune Multiple gun "influencers" and YouTubers came out with the same talking points yesterday, to wit, "removal of the $200 tax stamp is the "next best win." Winning it is not. It keeps suppressors on the list of NFA items, requiring registration with the ATF.

Someone back at the farm sent those talking points out ("Next Best Win") assuming that gun owners are a monolith and can be influences like socialist voters. This isn't true.

@GunOwners @gunpolicy @dcodrea @WiscoDaveTRO @JDVance @LeaderJohnThune As anyone knows who has read comments in the YT videos, or comments on my own site, or remarks at the various X accounts knows, gun owners are not to be herded. We aren't a monolith, and we don't listen to influencers.

But to Thune and others, we see you. We know what you're doing. Another thing you're doing is trying to give Cornyn something to run on in the next election.

Here is what Cornyn did.

@GunOwners @gunpolicy @dcodrea @WiscoDaveTRO @LeaderJohnThune @JDVance

Cornyn's reputation needed to be salvaged, you see. The best way to do that is to throw gun owners under the bus in the hearing protection act by blaming it on the parliamentarian, and then claim that Cornyn saved us from the mighty $200 fee.

But to @LeaderJohnThune , we see you. We know what you're doing. We know what you did. You have found the best way to lose gun owners in perpetuity.

@GunOwners @gunpolicy @dcodrea @WiscoDaveTRO @JDVance @LeaderJohnThune @TexasTribune We we look at the GOP and hear platitudes and then watch as you undermine liberty, it's worse than seeing nothing at all. Because that means you think you're using us.

Prior to the 2024 election, Pennsylvania gun owners had stayed silent in the elections, mainly not even voting. They were convinced to turn out in 2024, handing that state to the GOP. That won't happen again.
