More pitbulls that should have been shot before attacking a kid

Georgia boy, 11, pulled from bike and attacked by ‘loose’ pit bulls loses part of ear, most of his scalp

An 11-year-old boy is missing 70% of his scalp after he was pulled from his bicycle and attacked by three loose pit bulls while on a ride through the neighborhood.

The boy, Justin Gilstrap, was missing half of his ear, had bites on his leg, and had much of his scalp ripped off by the time police arrived on the scene.

Burt Baker III, the owner of the dogs, told police his dogs enjoy chasing people on bicycles. Baker was arrested shortly after and charged him with reckless conduct.

“There isn’t an inch of his body that doesn’t have a cut or bruise,” Justin’s mom, Ericka Gilstrap, told WRDW. “His life will never be the same again.”

Mason’s mother, Kellie Aguilar, said this isn’t the first time the family has filed a complaint about Baker’s dogs.

“Nobody’s ever done anything,” Ericka added. “They just run loose. They’re not behind the fence. They’re not tied up. They run loose 24/7.″

According to Ericka Gilstrap’s Facebook, Justin has been suffering a fever and just left surgery where some of his skin from his leg and scalp were removed. Doctors say they are optimistic the integra graft will begin soon.

It’s sad to say that this boy is lucky that he still has both arms and legs.

The part about the pitbulls roaming free and enjoying chasing people?

After the first time the police did nothing about that, that’s when the 62 grain varmint grenades come out.

I’ve seen what those do to coyotes.  Should be equally effective on pitbulls.

This is why I own guns and so should the rest of the Jewish community

 

Don’t let the Left bullshit you with changing the definition of words.  Like they did when they tried to convince everyone that Jihad ackchyually means a peaceful internal spiritual struggle.

Intifada really does mean armed rebellion, and is what the Palestinians called to major terrorist uprisings against Israel that killed hundreds of Israeli civilians.

Now they are calling for it in Michigan.

Remember that according to Palestinian philosophy, any attack on a Jew anywhere is an attack on Israel, and if you can’t get to Israel to fight the Jews there, you can attack Jews where you live.  This is why we see Palestinians in Europe stabbing European Jews during every Intifada.

The Jews of Michiganistan need to get armed and watch their backs.

Bring on the lawsuits against the ATF

I was thinking about this last night after my post about the new ATF arm brace rule.

There are millions of arm braces that were sold.  It was much more common than bump stocks ever were.

The Reload says the estimate at 10-40 million.

 

The ATF will not be able to process even a fraction of guns submitted on a Form 1 in anything close to the timeline they require.

But then there are other considerations.

There are many people who own braced pistols because they cannot own SBRs.

AR pistols are/were legal outside of Cook County (until this latest AWB).  Illinois dies not allow the possession of NFA items.

Upstate New York and California are the same.  It was possible to assemble a compliant pistol but not own an SBR.

Then there are counties where SBR possession might be legal by state law but the local Sheriff won’t sign the Form 1 paperwork.

Blue counties in Red states are notorious for this.

These individuals have no choice but to destroy their guns or hand them over to law enforcement.

There is the issue of interstate travel.  Most people, even some SBR owners, don’t know that to take an SBR out of state requires permission from the ATF on a Form 5320.20.

This is why I never did a Form 1.  I’ve moved four times in six years.  With an SBR I’d have to get ATF permission to do that.

And removing the brace isn’t enough.  The whole definition of a pistol has been changed.  In essence, if you own a pistol version of a rifle or sub machine gun, it’s an SBR by intent.

 

So your 11.5 inch AR pistols or CZ Scorpion or any other PDW style 9mm pistol now requires a Form 1.

Considering how many of those were sold in the last decade or more since the ATF let them be pistols, this is going to turn tens or possibly a hundred million guns into illegal SBRs.

The only good news here is that this has the potential to be so disruptive that if the court shot down the bump stock ban, it will have no choice to shoot this down too.

If anything, this decision might have given ammunition to the case for challenging the constitutionality of the SBR/SBS clause of the NFA (if not the whole NFA) by suddenly turning SBRs into guns in common use with a rule.

What I do know is that a blizzard of lawsuits need to be filed.

Intended Consequences

Often when we see a bill being argued we analyze the bill and discuss how it is intended to be used and how it is likely to be used. WHen things happen that the bills originators did not intend we call that “The Law of Unintended Consequences.”

My favorite example of this was G.W. Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” program. My wife is a teacher. As she explained it to me, the program meant that they could no longer fail a student, “hold back” as they now call it. Every child, no matter how far behind, no matter how many sigmas below mean they might be had to be passed to the next grade.

This was the start of the great push to get everybody through high school. It didn’t matter if the student had earned a high school degree, they were going to graduate.

The harm this did to so many children is propagating through out our current society. Kids that couldn’t read, couldn’t do math, that were ignorant of just about all of history are no adults that are functionally illiterate, incapable of adding two numbers and getting the same answer twice in a row, and are pontificating on subjects where they don’t know what happened 10 years ago much less 100 or 500 years ago.

Ignorant by design.

And all because the teachers unions wanted G.W. Bush’s program to fail. This was my introduction to hating teachers unions. Prior to this, it was only a mild dislike.

In 1993, in response to the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, by a crazy person, the gun grabbers (Chuck Schumer) got the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 passed and signed into law. This established the NICS check program.

Under the Brady Act an FFL was required to run a background check prior to transferring a firearm.

5 business days (meaning days on which State offices are open) have elapsed from the date the transferor furnished notice of the contents of the statement to the chief law enforcement officer, during which period the transferor has not received information from the chief law enforcement officer that receipt or possession of the handgun by the transferee would be in violation of Federal, State, or local law; or

This is language, in the “Interim Provision” is there to light a fire under government bureaucrats. The FFL had one day to file for the background check with the chief law enforcement officer. The chief LEO had 5 days to get a response back to the FFL or the transfer could proceed.

The bill gave the Attorney General 6 months to identify the system they were going to build and a total of 60 months from time of passage to have a NICS system in place. This is because everybody on the gun grabber side KNEW that it would take longer than five days to do the checks that they wanted done.

The actual thought by the infringers was that the NICS system would stop people from buying firearms. It didn’t.

Oh, notice the language “Handgun”. It quickly morphed in include all firearms that are not also NFA items.

There is more language in the bill to allow the states to do their own thing as long as they did the check. And it still required the ability for the FFL to proceed if they had no response within those 5 days.

But now we are seeing a spat of bills showing up that are designed to circumvent this fail safe. The infringers argue that the default should be to NOT transfer the firearm. Just to make sure no bad person gets a gun from an FFL.

But we know what will actually happen. We have the proof already. NFA transfers and approvals take months if not years to be approved. And paperwork gets sent back for minor errors that require the application to be resubmitted.

Every location that had a permit to purchase scheme in place started slow walking applications when the panic began. South Carolina is experience huge backlogs in permits for CCWs.

If we let them add “we were busy” as a reason to delay a transfer you can darn well bet that we are going to see staffing reduced in those places. No need to be efficient or rapid. So what if it takes 6 months to approve a firearm transfer. They should just be happy they are allowed to purchase a firearm at all.

And it would not surprise me if we started to see lubricant being presented to government officials to fast track applications.

Measure 114 out of Oregon already does this. They changed a “no response” to be “wait until we allow you to proceed”. This isn’t an unintended consequence. This is intentional.

Post Bruen the states that are anti-freedom are doing their best to stop people from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.

Watch for more of this “delays should not proceed” legislation in the near future.

Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act

Making supper. (Updated & Updated)

One of two glorious pieces of pork. Mustard, salt, garlic, pepper and brown sugar. It will be sprayed with 50/50 mix of apple juice and apple cider vinegar.

 

Scheduling for 10 hours of total cooking time. Add one hour of resting and I figure the first lot goes into my stomach sometime after 5 pm.


Almost 5 hours in…

Not a bad color.


And done. Total time including rest? Nine hours. It came out soft as it can be and only needed gloves to separate the meat which is a good thing because I did not want to buy the silly claws. Good heat-resistant gloves however are a nice investment.

It will need to be fine-tuned some. I will play with the rub ingredients and will try injecting for experimentation’s sake. There was a chunck of pork the size of half my fist that did not get as soft as the rest but is quite edible and will suffer my wrath later.

And in case you want to know the procedure I followed, I went with this particular video and recipe.

 

The ATF rule on braces just dropped

From the Bureau of Assholes, Twats, and Fuckers just dropped their arm brace rule.

On January 13, 2023, the Attorney General signed ATF final rule 2021R-08F, “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces,’” amending ATF’s regulations to clarify when a rifle is designed, made, and intended to be fired from the shoulder.

The rule outlines the factors ATF would consider when evaluating firearms equipped with a purported “stabilizing brace” (or other rearward attachment) to determine whether these weapons would be considered a “rifle” or “short-barreled rifle” under the Gun Control Act of 1968, or a “rifle” or “firearm” subject to regulation under the National Firearms Act. The rule’s amended definition of “rifle” clarifies that the term “designed, redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder” includes a weapon that is equipped with an accessory, component, or other rearward attachment (e.g., a “stabilizing brace”) that provides surface area that allows the weapon to be fired from the shoulder, provided other factors, as listed in the definition, indicate the weapon is designed and intended to be fired from the shoulder.

This rule does not affect “stabilizing braces” that are objectively designed and intended as a “stabilizing brace” for use by individuals with disabilities, and not for shouldering the weapon as a rifle. Such stabilizing braces are designed to conform to the arm and not as a buttstock. However, if the firearm with the “stabilizing brace” is a short-barreled rifle, it needs to be registered within 120-days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.

This rule is effective the date it is published in the Federal Register. Any weapons with “stabilizing braces” or similar attachments that constitute rifles under the NFA must be registered no later than 120 days after date of publication in the Federal Register; or the short barrel removed and a 16-inch or longer rifle barrel attached to the firearm; or permanently remove and dispose of, or alter, the “stabilizing brace” such that it cannot be reattached; or the firearm is turned in to your local ATF office. Or the firearm is destroyed.

Please note that this is the text of the final rule as signed by the Attorney General, but the official version of the final rule will be as it is published in the Federal Register. The rule will go into effect once it is published in the Federal Register.

Go check to see if your arm brace is now an SBR.

Act accordingly.
