NRA releases statement on Bump Fire devices.

Here it is. Read it with care.

I mean it, read it with care. It is a masterful piece. (the parts in bold are original but enhanced by me for your reading pleasure)

(FAIRFAX, VA) – The National Rifle Association today issued the following statement:

“In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented.  Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control.  Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks.  This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world.  In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.  The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.  In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans’ Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities.  To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence.”

Since any device that makes a semi auto rifle (one pull of the trigger, one shot) shoot full automatic (one pull of the trigger, two or more shots) are already illegal/restricted by NFA 34, the NRA is not sacrificing anything and just laying the “blame” on the ATF under Obama. And I say “blame” because the bump fire devices do not modify the rifle to full automatic fire.

And in the same breath pushing for National reciprocity? Lovely.

So, don’t lose your shit because you think you read something it was not there.

Pelosi: Background Checks would have stopped Las Vegas Shooting.

When it comes to Gun Control, Nancy Pelosi is a jukebox with only one song.

And in case you can’t see the video from Twitter:

Q: What new law would stop something like this?
Pelosi: Background checks

 

Stephen Paddock bought his firearms at gun shops and passed the background checks. Dear God that shit was reported plenty already!

Two Nevada gun shops confirmed Monday that they sold firearms to Mandalay Bay shooter Stephen Paddock in the last year and said he passed all required background checks.

Is she fucking kidding me or is she simply stupidly uninformed? Or just plain losing her mind as it is being rumored?

Oh please dear God, let the Democrats keep her where she is.

St. Louis Police: “Challenge accepted!”

Via 90 miles.

ST. LOUIS • Police took 143 people into custody Tuesday night after a group of protesters blocked the eastbound lanes of Highway 40 (Interstate 64) at Kingshighway and charged them with trespassing.That’s the highest number of arrests at once since protests began Sept. 15 over the not-guilty ruling in the murder case against former city patrolman Jason Stockley.

Here is when it got funny:

Protesters were nearing Market Street when they were met by a police line and they moved onto the sidewalk.

The protesters chanted: “We don’t see a riot here. Why are you in riot gear?” and “Touch one, touch all.”

And the cops did.

Right now somebody in jail must be thinking to himself “Who was the genius that came up with that shit?”

The Feinstein Bumpfire Bill

As usual with the Senator, we being with a lie:

No, it is not preventing or even regulating “automatic fire.” A firearm is defined to be an automatic when one pull of the trigger results in two or more cartridges are fired. Semi Automatic is only one cartridge fired per pull of the trigger. Bumpfire devices simply accelerate semi automatic fire by means of the natural recoil of the weapon. It is a gadget.

Net we have:

Now, let us not forget that this will probably be sent to the ATF for enforcement and this agency has the propensity to be very creative with its interpretation of the law when creating regulations.

Will the ATF consider a simple trigger job as “accelerating the rate of fire”? First off the gate is the many people with AK clones that switched their crappy East Block triggers with US Made parts which provide a smoother and quicker pull. ATF can very well say that those rifles are illegal… because they can. And in case you missed it, the bill does not allow grandfathering. If you own an AR, you should be butt-clenching by now.

And to demonstrate that she does not know what the frig is she making legislation about, Senator Feinstein makes and exception for the government.

“This is the FBI Director. Say, let’s get rid of our fully automatic AR rifles and buy semi auto versions with bumpfire devices attached to them. Apparently they are better according to Senator Feinstein.”

PS: I almost forgot, here is the text of the bill.

Why I may need a vacation from blogging.

As you can imagine, J. KB.’s post “Let’s make a deal” did not sit well with some. But since he does not do Facebook, guess who is catching all the hell from that service? Yup, yours truly.

The conversation over there has descended to basically:

“Bumpfire devices are a must and cannot be lost under any circumstance, but National Reciprocity is not good because….reasons.”

I am sorry, but if you are still having issues with the National Reciprocity bill it means you have not read the bill or your reading comprehension is very limited. It does not institute a federal database, or federal licensing scheme or nothing of the sort.  Please read the fucking thing before opening your trap because the last thing we need is Moms Demand screen capturing your uninformed comments so they can say: “See? Even Concealed Carry people think National Reciprocity should not be approved.”

The impact of National Reciprocity across the country cannot be understated. I would dare as to say that if signed into law, in about twenty years we would see Gun Control Movements be as relevant as Blockbuster Stores.

Seriously, think before you flap your gums.

 

Unsuccessful Dancing Monkey wants mass executions of NRA members.

Don’t you just love when Hollywood types, (especially the ones that have no talent and the only reason they are not turning tricks to pay for their meth addiction is because they had a very successful daddy ) gives you confirmation that you are on the right side of history and you should add another couple of guns and a thousand rounds of ammo to your “arsenal.”
