TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Rick Scott appointed Robert Dees to the 4th Judicial Circuit on Friday, choosing the Jacksonville attorney from a list six nominees that included a Republican state lawmaker who had become the target of gun-rights groups.
Scott’s pick for the 4th Judicial Circuit — made up of Duval, Clay and Nassau counties — drew attention because influential National Rifle Association lobbyist Marion Hammer initiated a letter-writing campaign in opposition to Rep. Charles McBurney, R-Jacksonville, who had wanted the job as judge…”In a letter last month to NRA and Unified Sportsmen of Florida members, Hammer deemed McBurney “unfit” for a judgeship because, as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he refused to move forward with a measure tied to the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law during the legislative session that ended in March.
Florida Carry later urged its members to oppose McBurney.
As of Friday morning, the governor’s office had received 7,985 responses in opposition to McBurney and 134 in support, according to Scott’s aides. None of the five other nominees received any emails or letters in opposition.

I fear that sometimes we can be too jaded and think our lonesome contribution does not matter. In this case, 7,985 Floridians took the time to pen a quick note of disagreement and an undeserving politician will not be getting the cookie jar.

Every. Email. Matters.

The British people have chosen to leave the EU with a higher margin than expected.

The is the feeling that this was motivated more by recent problems with Muslim refugees than economic woes.

It is no secret that President Obama has encouraged the UK to stay in the EU.

Personally, I take heart in that.  If I knew nothing else about Brexit, I would do exactly what Obama told me not to do.  He is the Captain Peter “Wrong Way” Peachfuzz of Commanders in Chief.  Take all the advice that he as to give, than to exactly the opposite.  Watch this clip and replace “Captain” with “POTUS” and “USS Andalusia” with “USA” and tell me it’s not an accurate description of his legacy.

What the British people have done is defy the political elite of the EU.

I believe that this is the ballot box equivalent of the John Brown raid on Harper’s Ferry.  It may not be the first shots fired of a European civil war, but it sure as hell pushed it along.  The Prime Minister has resigned over the vote.  Several other EU nations have been bitten by the bug of secession.

I don’t know what the future holds for the UK and the EU.  But right now, I really wish the people the UK had not given up their ability to own guns.  I think, very soon, they will need them.

So almost 2 weeks after the Pulse Massacre, the only thing the Lib/Progs tried to accomplish was to abolish the Fifth and Fourth Amendments n the Senate, failed and then went on to stage a political pajama party in the House with taxpayer-funded armed security and catering included..

During the same time, the Gun Community via Operation Blazing Sword, began offering LGQBT-Friendly firearms instruction across the nation and even a couple abroad. These are run by volunteers, many of them for free or very little out-of-pocket expense.

As of this morning according to the map, members of the LGBTQ community can get training in refusing to be stomped or shot to death at 682 locations. 

The ball is in your court.

… by the way Brit subjects treated their political masters.

Dear Washington Post: That is the way it is supposed to work. It is the WILL of the People and the RIGHT of the People.

About time you guys get a clue.

These unknowing passengers who are doing nothing wrong are landing in a secret government document called a Surveillance Detection Report, or SDR. Air marshals told 7NEWS that managers in Las Vegas created and continue to maintain this potentially dangerous quota system.“Do these reports have real life impacts on the people who are identified as potential terrorists?” 7NEWS Investigator Tony Kovaleski asked.”Absolutely,” a federal air marshal replied…

…What kind of impact would it have for a flying individual to be named in an SDR? “That could have serious impact … They could be placed on a watch list. They could wind up on databases that identify them as potential terrorists or a threat to an aircraft. It could be very serious,” said Don Strange, a former agent in charge of air marshals in Atlanta. He lost his job attempting to change policies inside the agency.

That’s why several air marshals object to a July 2004 memo from top management in the Las Vegas office, a memo that reminded air marshals of the SDR requirement.

The body of the memo said, “Each federal air marshal is now expected to generate at least one SDR per month.”

It is not paranoia if they are actually after you. I bet you feel better about these champions of the Modern (lack of) Civil Rights.

You might remember the case of Michael Foster, the man who attacked a legal concealed carrier at a Florida WalMart and I went on to speculate that he might had unfortunate mental health issues from what was on the jail report. It seems Mr. Foster found this site and posted his side of the story in the comments section. (Now, if this is not the real Foster, I may have to eat the rest of the post)

After reading his side of the story, I have to retract from the benefit of the doubt:

I am not crazy, I am not anti gun, I am not racist. The guy armed himself outside of his car outside of Wal Mart in a manner that scared the s%&t out of me. My true thought was he was going to shoot his wife and coworkers. It appeared to be one of three choices in his eyes while stooping down behind his car to put the gun under his jacket; rob Wal Mart at noon, ex employee, or wife boning freind at work.

I was not trying to be a vigilante. I was not playing hero. I was not planning on anything at all, in fact. Wrong place, wrong time. Being that I thought it was the wife scenario, I was willing to take the bullet for her, presuming she’s minority as well, so, you guys who pull the race card, I’m not in that deck of cards. Sorry.

 

I feel the arrest was to cover the Fla law’s tracks on issuing gun permits to people who can’t even read (Clarence Daniels can’t read nor write). I was an easy target to “Baker Act” since they thought I was crazy for approaching a gunman.

My guess is Michael Foster is some sort of closet racist/supremacist and does have mental issues.  Why?

Bravo Mr. Foster! You just advocated bringing back Jim Crow laws to the Sunshine State!

Literacy tests were used to keep people of color from voting. These tests were administered at the discretion of the officials in charge of voter registration who made sure Black folks could not pass them and thus deny them from their Right to Vote. Now you come along and want to do the same thing with Self Defense?

You are vile scum, sir. You probably saw yourself as a valiant Knight of the Klansmen who observed a Black man with a gun and immediately concluded something bad was about to happen because Negroes with Guns are never up to anything good.

GTFO of my blog.

Last night I can’t sleep, I am a bored and decided to go check Twitter. #NoBillNoBreak is trending and I figured I could do some trolling:

It took but a couple of minutes and the great and true soul of a Liberal/Progressive for Hillary was revealed:

Here is the constitutional genius behind the tweets.

I would say I caught him in a weak moment and he did not realize he was baring his soul and sharing his true core beliefs.

“I don’t have to respect your rights.”

That is what they think about us and anybody they do not deem politically pure according to their standards. It is him and his kind who will have no problem packing human being into the boxcars and sending them to the Gulag.

And that is why we own guns.
