Not Compromise

Twitter rando wants firearm registration, annual license to own and carry, insurance, and universal BG checks. Says he is OK with national reciprocity of CCW as long as each state gets to determine where and how you can carry.

I said no way. Registration is only used to facilitate confiscation and states would simply make everywhere off limits to CCW. I’m not falling for that, because the gun control side doesn’t deal in good faith.

I don’t need national CCW. SCOTUS just did that for me. It’s coming.

This was his response:

So what do you propose that would lower gun violence in America? I’ve tried to meat in the middle but you only get to “I won’t”. If you don’t have a reasonable suggestion and aren’t looking for one, what is your point?

My answer:

We don’t punish people for laws they haven’t broken. Gun control isn’t the answer. That is my point. We don’t have a gun problem, we have a mental health and criminal gang problem.

“Meet in the middle” isn’t you take some of my rights now, and return later to take more. That isn’t compromise. With compromise, both sides get something. If you get what you want, what do gun owners get? What are you willing to give up?

Him:

The thing we would both “get” is the security of knowing we can go out without being shot. I’m not trying to get anything besides that? What do you think the end game is?

I replied:

Stats don’t lie. If you aren’t a gang banger, drug dealer, or planning suicide your odds of being shot are less than dying in a fall involving ice-skates, skis, roller-skates or a skateboard.

The end game? Gun controllers want all guns illegal. That merely grants power to the strong over the weak. I refuse to be at the mercy of others.

Credit Where It’s Due

As much as I dislike McConnell, it was his refusal to allow Obama’s replacement for Scalia that made the massive court victories of the past month possible.

A shout out to RBG is warranted as well. It was her desire to have her replacement named by the first woman President that gave us the second big move.

Lastly, I want to thank the Democrats for being so sure that HRC would beat Trump, they decided to stick to the extremist pick on the theory that HRC was going to ram through a leftist candidate to replace Scalia and swing the court to the left.

Thanks for giving us our Second Amendment rights back. Thanks for putting a leash on FedGov power, and thanks for giving up abortion.

You guys rock.

Doctor

Let’s say that you were having a medical emergency on-board an aircraft. Who would you rather have helping you: a paramedic, or a doctor?

You might be surprised. The doctor in this case was clearly over her head. I’ve done more with less. The vast majority of doctors are so specialized that they know little to nothing about medical emergencies. Imagine a doctor who can’t even take a blood pressure.

Coaches Have Rights, Too

Back in April, I brought to you the story of the football coach who was fired for praying with his students after football games. No one was forced to partake, it was completely voluntary. Still, Disney and its subsidiaries were opposed. They are OK with trannies, fags, and pedophiles molesting and grooming children, but not to pray with them. The case made it to SCOTUS.

Today, SCOTUS released their decision.

At issue was whether a public school employee praying alone but in view of students was engaging in unprotected “government speech,” and if it is not government speech, does it still pose a problem under the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause. The Supreme Court ruled Monday in a 6-3 decision that the answer to both questions is no.

In full disclosure, I am an atheist. With that being said, I still share more values with religious people than with those who don’t believe in religion.

I don’t think that the government should be involved in marriage at all. Why should I need a permit to be married? It is either a religious ceremony, or a civil contract. In either case, the government doesn’t need to be involved in licensing it. That avoids the issue of interracial marriage, gay marriage, etc.

If a coach wants to pray, he should be permitted to do so. If some of his charges want to pray with him, fine. If others don’t, that is fine too. As long as you can’t prove any favoritism then it isn’t anyone’s business.

Bitch Slapping

I promise you that Clarence Thomas has been sitting at home thinking about all of the attacks that his wife has had to endure, the threats of impeachment, and the disgraceful attacks on justices. Now that the decisions are rolling out, he is having the last laugh as he metaphorically bitch slaps the left like Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

Get my wife’s name out of your f*ckin’ mouth.
