Because it is not a Pre-Church funny if you don’t have to confess you laughed.

Extra funny to get a pennace of 5 mysteries in the Rosary:

Q: Why does Jesus always look so muscular and buff in all of those pictures?

A: Crossfit.

I was chided about being too negative in my criticism of the leftover & crumb gun bills passed this week in Florida. I was even dared if I would rather let the democrats erase all we have achieved. I have news for you: it has already started.

SB 254: Gun Safety
GENERAL BILL by Stewart ; (CO-INTRODUCERS) Farmer

Gun Safety; Prohibiting the sale or transfer of an assault weapon or large capacity ammunition magazine; prohibiting possession of an assault weapon or large-capacity magazine; requiring certificates of possession for assault weapons or large capacity ammunition magazines lawfully possessed before a specified date; providing enhanced criminal penalties for certain offenses when committed with an assault weapon or large capacity magazine, etc.

1/5/2017 Senate • Filed
1/12/2017 Senate • Referred to Judiciary; Criminal Justice; Appropriations Subcommittee on Criminal and Civil Justice; Appropriations -SJ 54
3/7/2017 Senate • Introduced -SJ 54

In past years, the bill would have never even made it pass the initial filing, it is now in the IN basket of the Judiciary. Now, do I need to remind everybody about who do we have in the Judiciary that switched sides? The Democrat side will vote in block as it has been doing.

Chair: Senator Greg Steube (R)
Vice Chair: Senator Lizbeth Benacquisto (R)
Senator Randolph Bracy (D) ⇐
Senator Anitere Flores (R-Moms Demand) ⇐
Senator Rene Garcia (R) ⇐
Senator Audrey Gibson (D) ⇐
Senator Debbie Mayfield (R)
Senator Bobby Powell (D) ⇐
Senator Perry E. Thurston, Jr. (D) ⇐

Add the votes of the two Quislings and that is 6 in favor versus four against (if no more Republicans jump)

So what we have is an Assault Weapons Ban bill might passing the Judiciary committee via bipartisan vote. So unless  Senator Negron (R-MIA as in Missing In Action) does not block the bill and sends it to the garbage pail, the Press and the Gun Control groups will have a field day and project momentum to run through the rest of the committees and end up for a floor vote, possibly becoming law.

Do you feel safe? Because sure as shit I don’t.

That is why I am giving the whole Florida GOP in the legislature an “F” till we see good gun bills arriving to the Governor’s desk. And that is why I want people to contact  their Reps and Senators even if they are not in the appropriate committees: When you spread the pain equally among the group, they will either have to go after the cause or they must renounce their positions for somebody who will get stuff fixed.

You take a step back for a second and understand why we can me misunderstood sometimes.

Oh well, I promise…. never mind.

At least three shots “on paper” with great use of cover and Slicing the Pie.  One malfunction cleared, probably a FTF because the gun did not go in battery.

You can’t argue with success.

Congratulations to Security Officer  Brian Harrison for keeping himself and his people safe.

From the NRA-ILA:

ACTION # 1: SB-128, the self-defense bill/burden of proof bill was heard by the full Senate on final passage today, Wednesday, March 15, 2017, and PASSED 23-15. The bill will now be sent to the House.

SB-128 Burden of Proof by Sen. Rob Bradley restores the presumption of innocence in self-defense cases by putting the burden of proof BACK ON THE STATE where it belongs. ALL Democrats voted AGAINST the bill. ALL Republicans voted FOR the bill — except Sen. Anitere Flores (R-Miami) who voted AGAINST the bill. 

This senate bill is the only survivor of the original set for this year. I am amazed it made out of the Senate. It is now on its way to the House and let’s see what happens there.  And also, as of this moment, I am changing certain senator’s identification: From Sen. Anitere Flores (R-Miami) to Sen. Anitere Flores (R-Moms Demand). A little truth in advertising there.

ACTION # 2 HB-779, the bill to protect concealed weapons and firearms license holders from being charges with a crime for temporary and open exposure of a firearm, was heard in the House Criminal Justice Committee today, Wednesday, March 15, 2017, and PASSED 9-5. The bill now goes to the House Judiciary Committee.

HB-779 Protection of CW License Holders by Rep. Neil Combee removes the criminal penalties for violations of the open carry law and prohibits a person who has a concealed firearms license from being arrested and charged with a crime if their firearm becomes temporarily exposed to sight of another person.

This is a crappy crumb thrown because Open Carry is dead and buried this year. And what pisses me off is that they are not being 100% truthful: It is no longer an arrestable offense with a misdemeanor charge but a non-criminal offense with a fine the first two times and then you get sent to the pokey. Basically Open Carry instead of being the law of the land, it has become  money-maker leprosy for the state and then still you will be facing a charge for defying the sensibilities of a few cowards.  And of course, we want to thank Sen. Anitere Flores (R-Moms Demand) and please, do not let us forget assholes like Rory Watkins in Texas not only made it difficult for his state to get OC, but have been used as “example” of Open Carry to the poltroons in our legislature.

ACTION # 3: HB-849 the bill to restore private property rights to churches was heard in the House Criminal Justice Committee today, Wednesday, March 15, 2017, and PASSED 10-2. The bill now goes to the House Judiciary Committee.

HB-849 Carry on Church Property by Rep. Neil Combee eliminates restrictions that prevent churches from allowing firearms on church property if church property is ever used for any type of schooling. In other words, if your church, synagogue, or religious institution has a day care program or any kind of private school program Monday through Friday, the church could not allow CW license holders to carry on church property at any time. This bill fixes that.

More crumbs offered to the peasants because the GOP Senate was unable to deliver the elimination of Gun Free Zones in the State of Florida. Let’s make sure that a Pulse-type situation can be reproduced in our Houses of Prayer that dare to offer any type of schooling. It makes you wonder how many people are carrying at churches and are unaware that they are walking felons because the Church is offering a class on pottery or English as a Second Language or Intro to Excel.

And since we don’t know if these bills will even make it to the Governor’s desk, the GFZ rating is:

GOP Senate Rating: (F)

GOP House Rating : (F)
