Taking oneself a hostage

This:

 

This is bullshit.

This is evil, manipulative bullshit.

There is no evidence for this and lots of evidence to the contrary.

But this has become the rhetoric used to manipulate parents.

What is worse is that children have been taught that this is an effective tactic, i.e., “transition me or I’ll kill myself.”

In a way it’s like this scene from Blazing Saddles, but not funny.

 

Anyone who tries to manipulate you with the threat of suicide is a bad person.

How to kill your business in one easy step

If you haven’t heard, North Carolina repealed the state handgun license to purchas requirement.

In North Carolina, it was the law until a few days ago, that a law abiding citizen could buy a rifle or shotgun at a store without issue,  but had to obtain a permit to purchase a handgun from the local Sheriff to buy a handgun.

A North Carolina concealed carry permit was also valid as a pistol purchase permit.  That also went through the local Sheriff.

It was a pain in the ass.

The Republican state legislature passed the bill to repeal the pistol purchase permit requirements over the governor’s veto.

Fuck that guy.

The media asked a gun store owner about this and the gun store owner decided he didn’t want to be in business anymore.

‘I’m not a huge fan of it,’ WNC gun store owner reacts to end of pistol permit requirement

Stucker said, in North Carolina, a person had to be a resident and purchase a permit from the local sheriff’s office to buy a handgun. Now, that has been abolished.

But there will still be a federal background check, like there is for long guns.

“I’m not a huge fan of it, personally,” Stucker said of the move. “As a gun store owner, it puts a little bit more liability on us.”

He said that with the permits going through the sheriff’s office, they handled a lot of the liability.

Having to rely on the FBI’s system isn’t a great scenario for Stucker.

“It’s just their generic check that they use in all 50 states. The sheriff’s department or state-regulated background checks can be a little more specific. They can go into mental health, domestic violence,” Stucker said.

The sheriff’s office background checks can show things that may not show up on some of the generic legal records, Stucker said.

Another thing that Stucker said many people don’t realize is the repercussions that will come for those who are trying to buy handguns.

So they will have to act like nearly every other gun dealer in the country?

Oh how tragic.

Stucker said the FBI system is inherently slow, and that’s just using it for long guns. So, adding handguns into that system will slow people’s ability to purchase guns.

“I doubt most of the time we’re going to have instantaneous background check approvals, so you’re going to see a delay of a couple days just because the system is so overridden,” Stucker said.

The NCIS system is pretty reliable most of the time.  Some people will have delays, but the revocation of the permit to purchase won’t change that.  In North Carolina, even with a pistol purchase permit, buyers still had to go through a 4473 and NICS check.

Stucker said he has had instances where he didn’t feel comfortable selling a person a gun.

In the past, he has called the sheriff’s office when someone seemed not right mentally or maybe had ill intent.

On Target had the sheriff’s office investigate the would-be gun buyer a little more, but that’s not an option now.

“So, now I just have to come up with a reason to turn a customer away,” Stucker said.

I’ve seen a gun store rejected a customer before.  Gun stores have an obligation to obey both the letter and spirit of the law to keep gun out of the hands of prohibited people.

I actually watched a gun store call the police on two guys that came in stinking of Marijuana smoke.

This gun dealer can’t muster up the courage to do that without relying on the Sheriff?

So what we learned here is that this is a gun store that is run by lazy people, who don’t care about gun rights and don’t understand the system that they use, and is willing to share their opinions with the anti-gun media.

That was a choice.

I hope they have a loyal clientele, because I’d never shop there after reading this.

Describing their core political philosophy out loud

 

The core philosophy of the Left is thar there is no problem that can’t be solved by killing the right people.

They honestly believe they can murder their way into utopia.

If they can’t achieve their rainbow paradise with persuasion they will murder their way into getting it.

We will see more of this.

 

The Biden Administration nailed down America’s coffin lid

 

The US Dollar is being replaced by the Chinese Yuan on the world stage as the world’s reserve currency.

This is the inevitable result of fiscal policy that has created unchecked inflation.

The world recognizes that our currency is becoming worthless and finds another to replace it.

This, above all else, will absolutely destroy the economic power of the US.

Biden didn’t do it alone, over a decade of quantitative easing and modern monetary policy did it, but Biden kicked that shit into over drive.

The hard times have yet to really begin.

When the rest of the world decides it no longer needs American dollars, we are done.

 

Leftist Veteran makes an inadvertent case for the Second Amendment

Exhibit A:

 

Exhibit B:

 

The NRA isn’t killing children.

Republicans aren’t killing children.

Mentally ill nut cases with axes to grind kill children.

But because we don’t allow them to ban gun, this guy blames us.

Because he blames us, he wants to kill us.

He’s excited to be on the front lines in an anti-NRA death squad.

The scarry thing is that this guy was in our military.

He also calls himself a moderate Dem.  The moderate position now is the extermination of NRA members.

So this makes me ask, exactly what fraction of our military is ideologically aligned this way?

How much of our military is chomping at the bit to unleash the full destructive power of the Department of Defense against citizens who just want to preserve their Second Amendment rights.

I don’t know.

What I can tell you is that the existence of people like this is exactly why the Second Amendment is so important.

 

St. Patty’s Day one punch kill

Well, if this isn’t the most Boston story I’ve read.

‘Gentle soul’: Ireland native fatally punched in downtown Boston was celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

The boss of a man who was knocked unconscious near a Downtown Crossing ATM on St. Patrick’s Day is reeling after the 46-year-old was taken off life support.

Boston police have confirmed that Barry Whelan died following the assault that happened on March 17th around 9 p.m.

Whelan was standing near a TD Bank ATM on Winter Street where law enforcement sources told Boston 25 News he was sucker punched.

Police were called to a report of a person unconscious on the ground.

Whelan was rushed to Tufts Medical Center with an abrasion on the back of his head.

Whelan was standing near a TD Bank ATM on Winter Street where law enforcement sources told Boston 25 News he was sucker punched.

Police were called to a report of a person unconscious on the ground.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has determined the cause of Whelan’s death was blunt force trauma, and they’ve ruled it a homicide.

I can tell you exactly what happened.

Whelan was sucker punched.

He lost consciousness and toppled over.

He hit the occipital region of his head on the ground, causing the abrasion on the back of his head.

The impact to the ground caused swelling of his brain.

Swelling lead to compression of the brain tissue, which occluded blood flow, abs brain death.

It’s not the punch that directly kills, it’s the impact of the brain on the hard ground that does it.

But the result is the same, one punch and death.

Sucker punches are no laughing matter and the people who say it’s wrong to defend yourself against an unarmed attackers are just stupid.

Watch the hands, be aware, don’t get punched in the head.

That is a lot of blood – a warning about knives – Update

This is a murder in Vancouver, Canada.

 

That is a lot of blood.

That poor man was down and dead in under two minutes.

Knives are serious weapons and it doesn’t require a skilled person to kill with one.

A lucky hit to a major artery will be fatal.

There isn’t enough video from the beginning to assess exactly what happened here.

Suffice it to say, do not let a man with a knife and malicious intent in close proximity.

If a man is being aggressive, give him a wide berth.

And if you are living in a free state (and not the People’s Socialist Republic of Canada), be prepared to shoot a man with a knife.

Father stabbed to death outside Vancouver Starbucks after asking man to not vape near his toddler

A confrontation on the patio of a busy downtown Starbucks that ended with the stabbing death of a Burnaby man started when the victim asked the suspect to not vape near his toddler, said the victim’s mother.

“This is so horribly wrong what happened,” said Kathy Schmidt, two days after her son, Paul Stanley Schmidt was stabbed in broad daylight in front of his fiancée and his three-year-old daughter and many onlookers.

“He was just trying to protect his daughter,” she said. “I’m angry and I’m sad.”

A man has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing and Schmidt said she would like the charge upped to first-degree murder, which requires proof of premeditation, to ensure a longer stay in prison if he’s convicted.

A father was murdered for asking another man not to vape near his child.
