I got my PhD in European History by marathon on The Tudors, and earned my Special Warfare Insignia by beating every game in the SOCOM series on xBox.

Didn’t he get the memo that Kevin Spacey is not to be talked about in polite company for what he did to costars about David Hogg’s age?

Only an idiot teenager would admit that his grasp of national politics, which he’s been part of for the last month, comes from a tv show.

No wonder he keeps getting rejected by colleges.

Just got rejected from another college but that’s ok we’re already changing the world. Goodnight everyone

I think the DC Councilman who thinks that the Jews control the weather has a firmer grasp of meteorology than Hogg has on the Constitution.

If young Mr. Hogg is such a fan of House of Cards, I bet he could get a real resume booster by scheduling a private tutoring session with Mr. Spacey. 

I saw this over Universal Spectator:

And it brought back an old joke from Venezuela in the 1950s when it was under the dictatorship of general Perez Jimenez and he had a referendum about continuing to be a “president” and a printer decided to be funny and create some pamphlets which were spread all over. It went something like this:

PAPELETA DE VOTACION
SI (Queremos que te quedes)
NO (Queremos que te vayas)

YES (we want you so stay)
NO (we don’t want you to leave)

The story tellers of the day do not know if the culprit was ever found, but the secret police went stupid for a while.

You shoot the asshole.

A gunman who shot and wounded two students at Great Mills High School in Maryland was killed Tuesday after engaging an armed school resource officer, an official said.
The shooter was the only fatality. A female student was critically injured and a male student was also shot but is in stable condition at a hospital, authorities said.
“Our school resource officer was alerted to the event. he pursued the shooter, engaged the shooter, fired a round at the shooter,” St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron said. “The shooter fired a round as well. In the hours and days to come, we’ll be able to determine if our school resource officer’s round struck the shooter.

Shooter dead, two injured after shooting at Great Mills High School in Maryland

See? Low numbers. Game Over. You eliminate the temptation of having easy targets around and the fascination to be a Mass Shooter will eventually disappear.

Remember, they are crazy, not stupid; getting shot apparently hurts. Even if the want to commit suicide, they do not want to be known as the lame ass that failed.

If we really want to break this thing  wide open, we need to get a State Rep in Florida to add a duty to protect clause to the Florida Constitution.

Suggest it be a criminal violation for police not to prevent a crime if tipped off.

Make police and politicians explain why that’s impossible.

If we can’t get someone in office to do that we need someone to run for office on that.

I got $20 for Miguel’s campaign coffers if he’s up for it.

As usual, the link to the text itself is provided, go and check it. I am offering a summary of the amendment. I will stress that this are not just simple additions to the Florida Statutes but changes to the Florida Constitution that only happen every 20 years. That means if passed, they are set in stone and even the Florida Supreme Court will have to abide by them for the next two decades at least.

Commissioner Hank Coxe (Bio), Commissioner Sherry Plymale (Bio), Commissioner Arthenia Joyner (Bio) and Commissioner Frank Kruppenbacher (Bio) bring us the following amendment (Text here):

• ” Balancing a respect for, and under no circumstances violating, the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court, with an equal respect for the lives of all citizens of Florida, it is the policy of the State of Florida that…” (Cute interpretation of Natural rights being somehow against Citizens and need to be controlled by the government and this making them privileges.)
• Mandatory waiting period of 10 days.
• Ban of “Assault Weapons” with no grandfathering provision.
• Ban on Bumpfire devices.
• Ban on magazines with more than nine (9) rounds.

This is possibly the nastiest of the bunch so far.

There is an obvious game play with all the amendments: “Hey Bubba, I have a bad amendment and a really shitty amendment, you get to pic one, if not, you may lose and get shafted by a tractor implement. Deal?”

Let’s not fall for it. All the commissioners will be pressured by the media and using Sinead Gonzales and Junior Goebbles Hogg as pity battery rams. We don’t have that kind of media access so we are to do a direct approach.

Here is the list of commissioners and how to reach them. use it wisely and often.

Once again, what gets approved with this Florida Constitution Revision Commission will stay for at least 20 years. By then we could be the New Jersey of the South.

Let’s try not to do that.

The amendment  (text here) to the Florida Constitution brought forward by Commissioner Roberto Martinez (Bio).

• Seals the minimum purchase date of a firearm to 21 years of age and older.
• A Waiting Period of 3 days for the purchase of a Firearm while a ” comprehensive background check” (whatever the heck that could be) occurs. The waiting period can be extended if the background check does not happen during that time.
• Banning of bumpfire and devices that “alter the rate of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire a semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device.”

There are two amendments to the Florida Constitution brought forward by Commissioner Roberto Martinez (Bio).

• • Assault Weapons Ban (undefined what constitutes an “Assault Weapon” other than the ability to hold 10 or more rounds in a fixed or removable magazine. (text here)
  • Defining “transfer of an “assault weapon” as “the conveyance of an assault weapon from a person or entity to another person or entity, without any associated conveyance of money or other valuable consideration” (text here)

Notice that the second proposal makes illegal the simple loan or even handing over of one of these Evil Black Rifles as if they were contaminated with some nefarious Liberty Virus that could not be allowed to propagate.

He’s got still two more amendments added, but they are basically repetitions of the above. Still they all are Gun Control and need to be kept away from the Florida Constitution.
