Oregon Gun Storage Bill Endangers and Blames Victims

 

And as usual with such reports, it presents “expert opinions” from “authorities” as diverse as the police, Democrat politicians, and Moms Demand Action members, even citing Everytown “studies” for added “credibility”! [More]

There is one tactic that could throw sand in the gears, but that depends on enough gun owners letting Republicans know they expect them to deny a quorum.

Intents and Purposes

Unfortunately, our federal laws contain far too many provisions that do not require prosecutors to prove a defendant intended to commit a crime. [More]

OK, I suppose.

But if I intend to not comply with a tyrannical edict it's all OK?

Armed Mom Who Stopped Attacker BLASTS Nancy Pelosi, “My Child Wouldn’t Be Alive!” [More]

So the politician bankrupting future generations with insane and unsustainable debt thinks it's about "Children, children, children"?

Well, in a way it is...

As for a law about reporting illegals who try to buy a gun, at the risk of sounding like a broken record by criticizing "conservative gun control," I submit a more effective solution would be to remove them from the country and have the means to keep them out.

Haven't Covid shutdowns proven that most of these jobs can be done remotely via telework? Why do they need to physically live here?

The humane thing to do would be to not force them to leave their homes and extended families and friends, and to pay them what they'd be paid here, allowing them to share the wealth with their countrymen based on products and services they would now be in a position to pay for locally. That is assuming qualified Americans can't be found, since the Preamble requires government actons "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."

Could it be there is some other agenda...?

Sounds just like the sort of thing the GOP wouldn't do a thing with if they controlled the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

We're the Only Ones Unidentifiable Enough

 Senate Bill 6 and House Bill 2273 both state someone could be arrested if they post to an online site “the information of a law enforcement officer with the intent to threaten, intimidate, harass, or stalk.” According to the bills, this includes “name...” or “a photograph or any other realistic likeness.” [More]

Because they're so scrupulous about protecting our safety and privacy.

What if the intent is to ridicule and any intent to intimidate or harass is inferred...?

We're the Only Ones Uncontrolling Enough

 I admit to second-guessing here but I see all kinds of failure to control leading up to this, and when it finally got to the car video where I could see the officer, my first thought was to wonder how someone even more morbidly obese than the perp could possibly be qualified for patrol duties.

If he gets a reply he'll share it.


We're the Only Ones Disarming Enough

 The measure sought to expand New Mexico’s existing red flag gun law, called the Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act (pdf), by letting law enforcement officers—of their own accord and based on their own observations—apply for a court order to temporarily take away guns from a person considered a threat. [More]

Enforcing Existing Intolerable Acts

Gabriel Antonio Thompkins, II (25, Tampa) has pleaded guilty to making a false statement to a federally licensed firearms dealer in connection with the attempted purchase of a firearm, and to possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon. Thompkins faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison for the false statement charge and up to 10 years’ imprisonment for the firearms possession offense. [More]

So is it wrong of me not to cheer?

A Very Particular Set of Skills

Well, Rep. Karen Bass certainly qualifies as an expert on “police misconduct,” considering that for decades she’s been providing aid and comfort to a police state that jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s during the Great Terror and murdered more in its first three years in power than Hitler’s murdered during his first six. [More]

Is it any wonder Shannon loves her so?

'Public Servant' Priorities

Justice Department seeks to build large conspiracy case against Oath Keepers for Capitol riot [More]

And what they can't prove in court with evidence they'll seed throughout the DSM to publicly convict by innuendo.

And that's just the way 20 Republicans want it.

Acting in Character

Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked the attorney for the Justice Department whether the case would have much broader implications than protecting free speech. Specifically, Barrett asked whether the outcome of a dispute over New York City gun laws, a case that the court dismissed as moot after the city had changed its policy, would have been different if the challengers had added a claim for nominal damages for the violation of their constitutional rights. [More]

So naturally, "Chief Justice John Roberts was the lone dissenting vote."

That Horse Already Bolted

 A coalition of 11 states is seeking to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the Biden administration’s move to drop a Trump-era policy that prohibits migrants who rely on welfare from obtaining a green card. [More]

Why are they relying on welfare in the first place?

Those Who Cannot Remember the Past

Just as Lenin and Stalin continued expanding the definition of “bourgeoisie” in order to justify the elimination of detractors, political foes, and anyone privileged enough to disagree with the official Communist Party narrative, so too will the definition of “oppressor” in America continue to expand.  [More]

Are you sleeping?

If you don't applaud this, you're an intolerant hater who must be canceled unless and until you repent, and even then your fate will be sketchy. If you go a step further and condemn it as deviant and evil, well, there's a reason why the same people enabling and encouraging this demand you be disarmed.

Speaking of Myths...

 "You know, it doesn't sound like 'Antifa is an idea.' Whoever came up with that load of crap... Antifa is not an idea. Antifa is a terrorist organization..." [Watch]

What's telling is how the Three Percent, which IS an idea, IS being conflated with a terrorist organization.

Here's what Mike had to say, and what those exploiting his ideas, typically without acknowledgment, are ignoring:

The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s. In this I was both correct and dead wrong, as I have been battling folks almost since the beginning who have misunderstood, deliberately or not, what the Three Percent was in history, what it is today and what its aims are for the future.

And here's another lie being spread by the enemies of freedom:

The term “Three Percenter” refers to the erroneous belief that only 3% of colonists fought against the British during the Revolutionary War—but achieved liberty for everybody. 

What Mike actually said:

During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists.

Do you see the difference
