This picture has been making the rounds on liberal social media accounts:
So you need a background check and a waiting period to purchase healthcare with your own money? Is healthcare not permitted in certain cities? Do some cities require a permit to see a doctor?
Or are they saying that they support giving everyone all of the guns they desire, free of charge?
They call us the stupid ones, but then post stupid, easily refuted drivel like this…
One of the things that a dictator does, is ban those it intends to rule from having or using weapons. That’s been true for centuries. For example, Great Britain had the 18th century disarming acts. Scottish citizens had laws passed against weapons in 1715, 1716, 1725, and 1746.
In 1776, the Great Britain outlawed weapons in Massachusetts. That is why the Second Amendment exists. Technology changes, but people and despots do not. The founders were well aware of that.
I think it would be fun to propose and pass a law which states that transgenders, gays, and blacks are not permitted to own guns. The left will fight this tooth and nail. Then we can sit back and watch as the left argues in favor of the Second Amendment.
Within a year, the left will be pushing for a government program that issues guns to people.
Just sayin’.
The recent court decision striking down Florida’s open carry ban prompted Publix to issue a statement stating that it would not ban individuals who openly carry firearms from its stores. Even though other stores like Aldi issued statements saying that anyone seen open carrying in their stores would be asked to leave, Publix realized that such policies don’t reduce the number of firearms in their establishment, but only cause them to be concealed. Being that the left is all about emotion and not logic, this really pissed off the left.
In typical leftie fashion, the Tampa Bay Times immediately launched an op-ed that compares apples to bowling balls. See, Publix plainly states in their policy:
Publix follows all federal, state and local laws. In any instance where a customer creates a threatening, erratic or dangerous shopping experience — whether they are openly carrying a firearm or not — we will engage local law enforcement to protect our customers and associates.
But that isn’t good enough for the communists at the Times. So they immediately launched an imaginary Q&A, comparing various items against open carry. They compare bringing pets into the store (which is prohibited by health regulations), policies limiting the number of coupons you can redeem each day, and the Publix policy against cakes with any flag that isn’t the US Flag against cakes with the Mexican, Canadian, or the flag they really want- the Fag Flag against the policy of not prohibiting open carry.
They claim that the sight of guns bother some Publix customers, so Publix should ban open carry. Do you know what else bothers some Publix customers? Seeing men wearing dresses pulling their dicks out in the women’s restroom. I would bet that the Times wouldn’t like it if a business banned that.
I can’t wait for newspapers to eventually go the way of the telegram. They are nothing more than leftie propaganda. To quote Thomas Jefferson:
The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth
However, as he rightly points out, newspapers are preferable to tyrannical government:
The people are the only censors of their governors: and even their errors will tend to keep these to the true principles of their institution. To punish these errors too severely would be to suppress the only safeguard of the public liberty. The way to prevent these irregular interpositions of the people is to give them full information of their affairs through the channel of the public papers, & to contrive that those papers should penetrate the whole mass of the people. The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers & be capable of reading them.
However, newspapers have indeed become the propaganda arm of the communists. It is Social Media, and to a lesser extent, blogs that are informing the American public. The days of newspaper editors telling us what to think is long past. That’s why the media’s influence has faded to nearly zero- most people know that it is nothing more than slanted propaganda.
He claims that Australia and Scotland are “just as free as we are.” Let’s check into that.
Police Scotland has warned the public not to spread misinformation after a 12-year-old girl was charged for brandishing weapons in Dundee when she was being attacked. Police can arrest you for “spreading misinformation.”
In Australia, people who have COVID or have been exposed to COVID were sent to internment camps until late in 2022. If you escape, you were arrested. Democrats in the news media denied this, saying that camps in Australia aren’t technically internment camps because they were only for the quarantine of travelers, even though that’s exactly what the Aussies were calling them. As to the claim that it was a quarantine camp for arriving travellers, well, let’s hear from one of the internees:
Go ahead, Tim. Start sending police to confiscate people’s guns. Light that match and see what happens.
The left is going nuts, claiming that Trump’s use of the DC National Guard is a violation of the posse comitatus act, and I find it hilarious because the posse comitatus act restricts the use of the U.S. Army and Air Force in domestic law enforcement activities, unless specifically authorized by Congress.
That doesn’t include the National Guard, because the NG is not the Army, it is a militia. More importantly, the DC National Guard has been authorized to conduct law enforcement. The Department of Justice has long taken the position that it can operate in a “militia” status, not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act, thus allowing the president to potentially use it for law enforcement purposes without triggering the Act’s restrictions.
Meanwhile, the left has been trying to explain for years that the militia is the National Guard, and therefore the Second Amendment only applies to the Guard’s members.
The left appears to have forgotten that the NG was called out for law enforcement in DC once before during Trump’s time in office…
A man in Atlanta, father of 20 children, was shot and killed while in the commission of an armed robbery of an armed person who had just gotten off of a Greyhound bus. An obvious failure in his victim selection process. Hundreds of people showed up to mourn him. Here is a picture of ten of his kids at the memorial:
The man’s family is blaming guns and demanding that the state not allow people to defend themselves with legally carried firearms. They are also saying that Greyhound should not allow people to carry guns on their buses.
Hightower added that he is pushing Greyhound to end its policy allowing guns across state lines and urging Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to tighten gun laws to keep firearms away from young people.
The hardworking black men of Atlanta need to have their workplaces secure from the dangers of armed potential victims.
I don’t ever want to hear a leftist scream about the First Amendment and book bans again, now that NY has ordered 3D printing companies to ban plans for guns and gun parts.
Looks like the powers that be are desperate to identify 3D printers. Or they want you to think they can.
There is a woman in Michigan who is claiming that her neighbor, who lives 250 feet away and established his own shooting range, has made her go deaf with gunshots and T:annerite explosions.
I kind of felt bad for her until I saw this sentence:
LaRoe said she found a shell casing in her yard and points to a piece of tape over a small round hole in a window
There is no way that a shell casing is going to be 100 yards from a shooting range. So I decided to do some math.
The Occupational and Health Administration says that any instant sound (as opposed to a continuous one) that is above 120 decibels can cause hearing loss. Thanks to the inverse square law, in order to damage her hearing from 250 feet away, the source sound would have to be somewhere around 180 decibels. That makes his shooting range even louder than a SpaceX launch, which varies between 145 and 161 decibels.
Hearing protection only reduces sound by about 15-30 db. If it was loud enough to deafen her from 100 yards away, the guy who owns the shooting range would be deaf as well, hearing protection or not.
She and the neighbors are trying to get Tannerite regulated like an explosive, claiming that it is no different than dynamite.
