Notice the elbows locked up, how far the chest goes down. Yes, you will crack the sternum and leave a bruise, but you are saving a life. I have no idea how long did the young man spent doing CPR, but I can tell you that it very tiring. The stress alone drains the heck our of you. Having somebody else there helping with compressions or breathings helps a lot.
Updated | In 1997, a man who couldn’t buy a gun in New York traveled 1,000 miles to a state where he could: Florida. Taking advantage of the state’s lax gun laws, he stayed in a motel for a few days, got a Florida ID card, bought a gun and went back to New York City. Exactly 20 years ago today, that man opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, wounding six people and killing one before taking his own life. My little brother, Matthew Gross, was wounded in the attack—he was shot in the head. Long after the news cameras turned away, my family was left dealing with the aftermath of that terrible day: being told my brother would die, watching him endure multiple brain surgeries and a long coma, and, for Matthew, a lifetime courageously coping with a traumatic brain injury. Matt and I have both changed a lot in those two decades, but our nation’s federal gun laws haven’t.
He bemoans about the Pulse shooting but does not tell you that it happened in one of the few Gun Free Zones in the state of Florida, making it a perfect target for a Jihadists who had passed background checks at least four times. He ignores that because it destroys any false sense of security it had and the fact that even though the chant of Gun Free Zones is still repeated over and over like and deranged mantra, people are not only starting to question it but demand they are eliminated and citizens be given the chance to defend themselves.
I understand it must be hard for Dan gross to realize his 20 year investment on Gun Control turned out to be not only a failure but unpopular. And I am sorry about what happened to his brother, but bad stuff happens to people and you cannot fix that a bigger pool of potential victims. I understand misery loves company, but that is a selfish attitude to have for your fellow human beings.

ACTION REPORT! Self-defense Bill in House Criminal Justice Comm.
DATE: February 24, 2017
TO: USF & NRA Members and Friends
FROM: Marion P. Hammer
USF Executive Director
NRA Past President
The critically important self-defense bill, HB-245, was heard by the House Criminal Justice Committee on Wednesday, February 22, 2017, and PASSED 9-4.
Once again State Attorney Phil Archer, left his job in Brevard/Seminole County to travel to Tallahassee to testify against your self-defense rights and the constitutional rights of the citizens he was elected to serve in the 11th Judicial Circuit.
Archer made it clear that the convenience of prosecutors and the desires of the State Attorney’s office was far more important than protecting the constitutional rights of innocent citizens. And that convictions — not justice — are the priority of prosecutors.
When the state charges a person with a crime, the state has the burden of proof — from arrest all the way to the jury room.
We want to thank the House Committee members who voted for the bill.
I am going to have to link the videos more often so we get to see how to address the discussion of a bill in a professional and passionate manner.
(24:00) Intro by Rep. Bobby Paine explaining the bill.
(33:30) Erick Friday with Florida Carry, holy smokes, that guys knows his.. stuff. And you can tell the amount of BS told in the media about this bill by the way he clarifies points. Amazing job!
(1:02:40) League of Women voters. Reading a prepared statement simply does not work. She got trounced by the only question asked.
(1:13:40) Moms Demand also went with a read statement. Body language is imperative as you may notice.
(1:18:00) Marion Hammer. This is what a force of nature looks like. Not cowed but respectful and kept visual contact with the committee at almost all times. Knew her stuff and made it simple even for the Representatives.
I know politics at the level of Legislature is boring, but watching Mr, Friday and Ms. Hammer is just a free class on pushing your message out there. Even if you are not Floridian but are involved in Gun Rights, you should watch it just for the teaching tips.
It’s part of a broader shift in the way Twitter deals with abuse — one that’s drawn fire from many of the same communities calling for stronger enforcement. In some cases, the account-lock could even be triggered by quote-tweeting a profanity-laced tweet, since the resulting tweet would include both profanity and the source’s handle.
A friend of mind linked this article via Twitter since I was blocked yesterday while trolling over #HeWillNotDidideUs.
This was the offending Tweet:
That is the twitter handle of Shia LeBuffoon who has not used his account but four times this month if we go by his tweets. Then again he is too busy dressing homeless chic and attending to assault charges in NY.
So don’t forget, never insult your Betters and the American Royalty in Twitter or the Censor Bots will come after you.
I am gonna get banned so many times now… why? because I am ornery and eff them.
