Stay for Bump Stock Plaintiffs Dissolves Wednesday

Not a bad feather in the cap for “the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes.” With his new-found love for “red flag laws” and disregard for due process, Donald Trump is shaping up to be every bit the “true champion of the Second Amendment” NRA told us Harry Reid was.

This oughtta bring the TDS (Trump Deification Syndrome) sufferers out of the woodwork.

"This was no distant dream for this young man. This was a well planned out, well developed, imminent plan, and if it was not for the involvement and hard work of federal and state law enforcement officers, this could have been a much, much worse result.” [More]

What clued authorities in?

Authorities learned of the plan when Azizi-Yarand began corresponding with an FBI informant.

You gotta wonder how much "encouragement" he got for the plan and his capabilities.

Unplanned

The wife and I saw it Sunday.

I think it's a worthwhile film.  It's always tough to "do agenda" without coming across as heavy-handed, but this one does a pretty good job, certainly much better than another agenda film, the more slickly produced "Miss Sloane."

Speaking of which, while that was heavily stumped for in the media and "Unplanned" has been ruthlessly ridiculed and even suppressed, it's gratifying to see box office results since March 29 are approaching four times what the gun-grab flick has done since 2016. Curious we never did learn what the production costs were for that flop, but see that the pro-life film has essentially doubled its money so far.

The other message that comes through loud and clear for me: The approach behind "Unplanned" is not to coerce, but to supportively persuade women to choose life.  Miss Sloane was the one demanding no choice at all.

No surprise there.

And as long as I'm on both subjects, do you think Harvey will ever get back in the game and make us wish we weren't alive?

It would also expand the category of who could lose the right to possess guns under the law, adding those convicted of dating violence or misdemeanor stalking to close the so-called “boyfriend loophole.” [More]

As accused by not so pretty little liars?

Define "dating." How many times do you have to do it before you're a "partner?

I see oozing Pennsylvania Republican mangina Brian Fitzpatrick is the sole GOP co-sponsor. How desperate of a guncuck would you have to be to vote for him?
