[eye twitching something fierce]

The truth about how Americans view their Second Amendment freedom is actually much more interesting than mere political affiliation. This is a reality check worth having just now, as New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, and many other politicians are now openly taking an extreme stance on this issue.
A Gallup poll shows that 27 percent of Democrats, 43 percent of Independents and 55 percent of Republicans say there is at least one gun in their home. Overall, Gallup reports that 42 percent of Americans say they have at least one gun in their home.

Why the Democrats are miscalculating on guns

Let me start by apologizing for the minimalistic approach to posting today, but it has been busy and promises to continue to be even busier.

Reader John R. sent me the link to the article which I managed to read during a break. Now, remember that a lot of people still do not share their gun possession status with others so the figures may vary upwards.  The truth about the influence of those numbers will come soon enough in November. I don’t think either side is going to be happy.

 

Ben Wizner, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) speech, privacy and technology project, warned Monday that bans against Alex Jones and Infowars could set a dangerous precedent.
Wizner told HuffPost that the hate speech policies many social media companies cited when they banned Jones can be “misused and abused.”
…
Wizner said companies had a constitutional right to regulate speech on their platforms, but added that hate speech “turns out to be an extremely subjective term.”
“If [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions, for example, were deciding what’s hate speech, he would be less likely to think KKK and more likely to think [Black Lives Matter],” he said.

ACLU: Alex Jones ban could set dangerous social media precedent

Dancing Monkeys and Performing Bears have is that they are damned slow to realize that the laws used against their enemies and they cheer so much about will eventually come back to be used against them.  I call it Getting Robespierred:  Being destroyed (politically or otherwise) by the same Revolution you worked so hard for and became an elite member of it.

If there is a truth is that things evolve or change, nothing is immutable. The Social media of today will disappear and Facebook will be as influential as AOL Chat Rooms and that the Champions Against Free Speech will end up with half a face blown up waiting for the blade to fall after found guilty of Hate Speech.

The Brady Campaign is reminding us that the fight against 3D printed guns will be successful. For reals, man.

The will rather choke on a plastic straw rather than admit it was a crass failure.

Oh well:

A Florida candidate running to become the state’s next agriculture commissioner says banking giant Wells Fargo shut down her campaign account because she supports medical marijuana.
Democrat Nikki Fried said Monday that the banking giant started asking questions about her platform a month after she joined the statewide race: Does she advocate more access to medical marijuana? Would she accept contributions from medical marijuana lobbyists?
Fried responded in July that she herself had lobbied for medical marijuana companies and had received contributions from lobbyists. Then, just weeks before the Aug. 28 primary, Wells Fargo said in a letter that it was shutting down her account based on a review of its banking risks.

Now they are bitching. When it was applied to Gun stores and manufacturers, they applauded and congratulated themselves for their smartness.

Payback is a resentful wench.

At least it is nor Broward Sheriff Office.
