It is not surprising that the New Jersey moderate was not invited. But the lack of an invitation for Paul stands out.
The Daily Beast reports that Paul did request an invitation to the convention, but was denied:
However, a source with knowledge of Paul’s dealings with the NRA said the claim that he did not request an invitation to the convention was “not true.”
Further, the source said, “Is that really how invitations work?”
Paul has an A-rating from the NRA, but the objective grading of his gun-rights credentials has little to do with the politics of the pro-gun lobby, wherein his involvement with extremist groups tied to his father, former congressman and libertarian-icon Ron Paul, has not won him many friends.
“Sometimes the NRA doesn’t like it when people are bigger defenders of the issue than they are,” the source suggested. “They also don’t like it that he helps other, stronger groups like the Gun Owners of America and the National Association for Gun Rights.”
The Pauls have long been associated with Gun Owners of America. On the top right of their website, they have a Ron Paul quote emblazoned: “The only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington.”
FK – Another nail in the NRA’s coffin. If only we could get all 5 million members or whatever to join GOA.
We had hoped that a newly invigorated Senate Republican majority would have been a little more enthusiastic. But, in the end, we squeaked out a couple of victories on the Budget Resolution last week — and blocked the Bloomberg brigade from ever getting to first base.
FK – The republicrats are back to standing around with their fingers in the dike. Pathetic creatures. See next post.
FK – I call them communists. I don’t apologize for it. We MUST stop apologizing to our domestic blood enemies for calling them what they are and for saying what should be done to them.
FK – Do rapists commonly carry paper bags thick enough for that cow? If so we can hope the creature someday sees the need for self defense. That’s the only way it may learn.
FK – “College is for a larnin’ yer Marxist ideahology. All others step aside or bow down and kiss whatever we stick in yer faces, and they ah ain’t no limit ta that.”
We need to begin kicking this trash out of our country before it’s too late. The ‘gun rights’ battle is only one of dozens in this war and those who claim to love Liberty aren’t doing as well on the other fronts…
FK – Doesn’t surprise me, religion was created as another way to help keep the slaves working. On top of that, look under the hood on most of these ‘clergy persons’ and you’ll find a Marxist motor.
The tale told by Anthony Mitchell of how he and his family were robbed of these rights is compelling and cautionary.
Mitchell was sitting at home in Henderson, Nevada, on the morning of July 10, 2011, when the phone rang. Officer Christopher Worley of the Henderson Police Department was calling Mitchell to tell him that the police were going to take over his house. In order to gain “tactical advantage” over Mitchell’s next door neighbor, Officer Worley reportedly explained, police were going to set up shop in Mitchell’s house.
Mitchell was not asked if he would mind such a surrender of his home. The officer was informing Mitchell that they would be commandeering his house. In his legal complaint against the Henderson Police Department, Mitchell claims that he didn’t want to get involved with the police department’s operation against his neighbor and accordingly refused to let police occupy his home.
Not surprisingly, Mitchell’s refusal didn’t sit well with law enforcement. Again, according to Mitchell’s complaint, Officer David Cawthorn of the Henderson Police Department, one of the members of the force who were named as defendants in Mitchell’s lawsuit, “outlined the defendants’ plan in his official report: ‘It was determined to move to 367 Evening Side and attempt to contact Mitchell. If Mitchell answered the door he would be asked to leave. If he refused to leave he would be arrested for Obstructing a Police Officer. If Mitchell refused to answer the door, force entry would be made and Mitchell would be arrested.’”
It isn’t hard in the these times of police militarization to predict what happened next.
Just before noon, five (or more) officers of the Henderson Police Department “arrayed themselves in front of plaintiff Anthony Mitchell’s house and prepared to execute their plan,” according to the narrative laid out in Mitchell’s lawsuit.
After showing up at Mitchell’s door, the officers allegedly “banged forcefully” on his door and demanded that Mitchell and his family open up.
Seconds later, Mitchell claims, “officers … smashed open his front door using a metal ram.”
Standing in his living room in shock, Mitchell says that the officers “aimed their weapons” at him and ordered him “to lie down on the floor.” Fearing for his life, Mitchell complied.
FK – The trash involved in that fiasco should be arrested, tried and executed. In reality the militia should have been called so they could have dealt with them that day in the way they so rightly deserved.
FK – You should be all about our natural born Liberty, our most basic right. Our ‘civil rights’ are often what ‘they’ say they are… and ‘they’ consider us to be livestock.
Why didn’t you ask LaPierre why the NRA isn’t fighting illegal immigration? The commies want the illegals here because they know they’ll vote commie. What will that to do our ‘gun rights?’
I wish we could get every NRA member to see the light and join GOA, the ‘no compromise’ gun rights group. That’s gunowners,org
FK – THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! Read the Constitution! Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch. Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote. That’s what the Second Amendment was written to acknowledge.
The problem is the ‘sporting purpose’ definition in GCA ’68. Why isn’t the NRA pushing hard to repeal GCA ’68 and the NFA and ‘all’ the gun laws?
The purpose of the Second Amendment is our natural born right to kill government employees when it becomes necessary. Why are so many too cowardly to publicly state this simple truth?
Why isn’t the NRA fighting illegal immigration? The commies want the illegals here so they can get them to vote commie. What will that do for our ‘gun rights?’
Why isn’t the NRA training the militia for what will be required?
I wish we could convince the 5 million members of the NRA to join GOA, the ‘no compromise gun lobby.’ gunowners.org
We expect more gun-related showdowns in the next 72 hours than in the next 9 months combined. At least 5 gun-related amendments are expected on the Budget Resolution — a once-a-year vehicle that gives senators an opportunity to get hundreds of votes on any issue they choose.
And at least five senators have chosen to get votes on guns.
We have already told you about the Crapo amendment to shut down Operation Choke Point — which has been used by Eric Holder to try to financially strangle the gun industry.
FK – In reality they should only be allowed to vote on one issue at a time and only consider one bill at a time and be required to pass a test to show they actually read it before they vote on it…
While allegations that Norquist is “an agent of influence” on behalf of Islamic interests will raise concerns of many NRA members and gun owners in general, Beck did not cite one reason why his activities in that regard conflict with NRA’s bylaws, the charter that defines director eligibility and all other matters pertaining to operational policies. And while it’s useful for NRA’s voting members to know the truth about such ties (not surprisingly, Norquist and his American Conservative Union allies dispute and condemn the legitimacy of such criticisms) so that members can decide if that’s a personal show-stopper for them, chances are his reelection is already a done deal.
FK – Are you familiar with the concept of ‘controlled opposition?’
FK – The SCOTUS is not the final arbiter of our rights. We are. They are our employees. They will ultimately have to be forced to accept this reality or they will force us to accept a deeper slavery than we now enjoy.
The ‘other side’ seems to have discovered their 2A rights:

FK – How many of them are Fed agents or narcs or informants? Someone should have done a poll. They need to work on their ‘marching’ as well…
Search the names on their patches if you don’t know the history of the ‘Black Panthers’ and gun rights.
Speaking of history:
FK – Our domestic blood enemies know full well a nation of pacified ignorant children is a nation of future willing slaves.
This is what happens when they run things:

FK – Why would they ‘outcry’ over a situation they created for their own purposes?
FK – We need to be kicking the creatures in the head, not allowing them to play games with our natural born Liberty. We either put them in their places or they will do so to us.
The agency is now crying “uncle,” in the face of thousands upon thousands of negative comments from gun owners all around the country — including more than 200 congressmen.
The agency said today:
Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study.
A “good faith interpretation”? Well, that’s laughable. But realize the agency says the issue deserves “further study.”
So now the question becomes: Is this a genuine retreat, or just a “tactical retreat,” as we saw with Operation Choke Point? In that case, the federal government removed gun dealers from its “risky business list,” but continue to persecute them under that program on a case-by-case basis.
And, finally, what about the ban on Russian-made 7N6 ammo, which is not reversed by ATF’s reversal?
Our answer to both of these questions is that we need to keep up the pressure — and not trust ATF’s purported “change of heart.”
GOA will keep watching the ATF and alert you to any future attempts to slip a ban by the American people.
FK – When the BATF Nazi trash mentions ‘faith’ it means in an all powerful force of murdering government goons.
Governments will always be able to get guns thus we need to be better armed than them.
FK – The ‘crime’ issue is a red herring. Even if ‘gun control’ could be proven to lower crime it would still be evil.
All ‘gun control’ is propaganda designed to condition the sheeple to more ‘control’ until full civilian disarmament is achieved. Thus all gun control is an act of war. All who forward it should be arrested, tried for treason against Human Liberty and executed.
A smirking White House spokesman Josh Earnest couldn’t conceal his glee, yesterday, as he reveled in the trick Obama had played on the Second Amendment movement.
Think back to April 17, 2013, when the Senate killed the Feinstein amendment to ban the AR-15 by a vote of 60-40. This fell 20 votes short of the needed 60, even though Democrats controlled the Senate at the time. But now Obama is trying to effectively ban the AR-15 by “regulatory fiat” by banning the most common ammunition used in that firearm, M855 ammunition.
But a gushing Earnest was unrepentant: “The President has long believed that there are some commonsense steps that we can take … taking some commonsense steps to prevent people who shouldn’t have guns from getting guns.”
FK – The Second Amendment isn’t ‘sporting’ unless the “Liberal”(commie) trash is running or shooting back. Plenty of them will shoot back. The evil creatures killed 200 million in the 20th century alone. And they’re recruiting from down south:
FK – It would be best for the current generation to do what will be required before future generations are outnumbered. It can and will happen. We should be building the military structure NOW that will be necessary to save what’s left of the Bill of Rights. It will come to that. It always does.
FK – Because it’s not about common ‘crime.’ It’s about our domestic blood enemies disarming us so we can’t kill them when enough finally wake up to the necessity of doing so.
FK – One wonders if the attendees will be required to disarm before listening to these whores as they were for McCommie at the convention in Louisville a few years back.
If the NRA had a backbone it would require everyone attending to be carrying a rifle to send our future and present elected public SERVANTS a message.
Now some attention to the insanity our domestic blood enemies represent:
FK – Yes we can, repeal GCA ’68 and the NFA and ‘all’ the other gun laws then arrest, try for treason and execute the BATF Nazis and distribute their retirement funds amongst their victims.
