Branco: Democrats for Gun Rights
Like clockwork, as election time approaches candidates – including proven anti-gunners – trot out their gun rights rhetoric. From obama holding a smoking shotgun to US Senate hopeful democrat Alison Grimes hoping to unseat Republican leader Mitch McConnell by holding a rifle, candidates are trying to coax gun owners to their side.
We’re not sure who is supposed to fall for these tactics but, election cycle after election cycle, they continue to show themselves holding firearms while bandying about their NRA membership (like that’s some big feat – NRA memberships are a mere $25 a year here).
A.F. Branco isn’t falling for it, as he shows in his Democrats for Gun Rights cartoon:

In this episode, LaSorte takes his transformation into the shooter athlete a little too seriously. Okay, way too seriously. Being a shooter athlete is all about versatility, and firearms can be used in so many different ways; that’s why Colion started a freestyle course.

NOIR Returns: Episode 9 – LaSorte’s Last Stand
Colion Noir’s show, NOIR, on NRA Freestyle started out back in May with the first episode, titled Start Here. The episode title was appropriate enough, as that first episode created a lot of buzz.
Viewers continued to tune in to watch the original airing or to watch past episodes of NOIR online and the show even inspired other firearms lifestyle online series.
The 8-episode first part of season one wrapped in late June as the series went on a two month hiatus. The series now returns, kicking off the next leg of the season with Amy and Colion introducing a head-t0-head battle with Darren LaSorte to find out who is the best “athletic shooter.”
“Stuck in his tactical ways, LaSorte struggles to comprehend the idea of athletic shooting. In an effort to bring him into the light, Colion and Amy realize the easiest way might be to show him.”

To Keep and Bear Arms – An Official Report For the Armed Forces and the American People
These days, getting a positive message on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms from anyone at the federal government level is a difficult task. It wasn’t always that way, though.
The Big Picture video below, presented by the US Army and featuring a second video produced by the National Rifle Association, preaches the virtues of focusing efforts on promoting safety training and emphasizing adherence to basic firearms safety rules.
The idea that gun control laws do not have an impact on law abiding citizens – as they would obey the law and criminals, by their very nature, would not – is not a new one. The history of the fight to preserve our constitutionally protected individual right to keep and bear arms has not changed much over the years.
Nor is the idea that the concept of regulating an item because an individual misuses it is absurd. As the video’s narrator says: “To legislate firearms because they are occasionally misused is like outlawing automobiles for the same reason. It’s not this car, it’s this careless driver whose foot presses the pedal. That is the object of legislation which tells him not to speed.”
The narrator goes on to say that “a program that emphasizes safety procedures rather than firearms control makes it possible for a growing number of sportsmen and women to enjoy the recreation and healthful benefits of good sports and good shooting.” Developing rifle marksmanship skills through participation in shooting events such as the National Matches at Camp Perry is an endeavor that “helps develop healthy minds, self discipline, initiative and team spirit” – according to the government-endorsed video.
This is a far cry from the anti-gun banner carried by many at all levels of the anti-rights movement, including those involved in our government at the federal level. Have a look at the video below and see the message on firearms that our government used to send. Continue reading
