…that seeing Hogg triggers images of the Hitler Jugend.

Found in Facebook.

It has been a while since I tried to explain the bill, but there is simply no way to fight the Chest Thumper Narrative. Fix NICS is  basically the demanding that the reporting agencies report the persons that are already prohibited by law and providing with the appropriations for it. 

Whoever was the asshole that created/imagined all the alleged violations of the Constitutional Rights that are in the bill (Special prize to the one about parking tickets) please remember him when this bill fails and six months or a year later or after another mass casualty event, we will get one that will really fuck us up because “we need to do something and Congress did not do shit before.”

In College back in the days of parchment, I was taught the principle of the coffee brands and self space or something like that. Supermarkets have only so much shelf space and if you sold coffee, you wanted to make sure the supermarket only carried your brand. But maybe you hear about a new competitor with a new product, so you bring out something similar to theirs but a  cheaper price and offer it to the supermarket. The supermarket will be delighted to get more profits and places your new product in the shelves thus denying your competition  the possibility of distributing their merchandise.

The Screaming Gun Community has decided to kick the new coffee and leave the space shelves wide open so the Opposition introduces their bills, which may I remind include AWB IV or V, I am not sure which version are we up to now.

Oh well…

PS: After the fuck up that is sure to come. I do not want to hear one single of the same Chest Thumping assholes begging for the NRA to do something. You loudly announced you did not need us and can do a better job, so go do it.

You are reading this right, folks: New York City Schools are now 100% Gun Free! Of course, only applies to good guys, Mass Killers can bring whatever they want unimpeded.

It gets better

“There’s nothing more terrifying than putting more guns in our kids schools,” de Blasio told WPIX just after the attack, during which 17 people were murdered, and 14 more were wounded.
De Blasio had planned to remove New York Police Department (NYPD) officers even before the deadly mass shooting, and said he would instead introduce unarmed school safety agents at each of the city’s 1,700 schools, the New York Post reported.

It’s not clear how the unarmed security will be able to stop school shootings.

Mayor Removes Armed Police From All New York City Public Schools

How? Well, the British police way so well explained by the late Robin Williams.

Hat Tip Mad Ogre

This video was in my YouTube recommended feed.

Growing up in Florida  (Miguel has said the same thing) you learn that once you go into the wilderness, you are no longer at the top of the food chain.

It’s impressed on you from an early age.  There are lots of lakes and canals that look really inviting.  They have alligators in them.

The water hazard at the local golf course is really a hazard in every meaning of the word.

Lots of people from other places don’t seem to get that.

This guy was very close to being turned into Cougar shit in the woods of Vancouver.

That cat had no fear of people.   He looked very healthy. I suspect he is used to taking food from humans.

I understand Canada gun laws are repressive, but going out in mountain lion country with just an iPhone is retarded. 

An axe is at least something more effective than yelling “shoo.”

This guy was a lot closer to being a chew toy for an apex predator than I think he realized.

The latest outrage by the Trump Derangement Syndrome Brigade is that POTUS while still being a Private Citizen banged a great looking Porn Star and she got money out of it.

Well, you’d be pissed too when you realized that the only thing the last President got to pork was Michelle Obama.

Sometimes I wonder if by usual rolling load out is too much.

• Police Surplus S&W 6904 and a spare mag in the armrest.
• Police Surplus Mossberg 500 with buck shot and slugs behind the rear bench seat.
• Off road equipment including tow straps and tackle for the winch.
•  Flashlights, multi tool, axe, shovel, small mechanic tool set.
• First aid gear including a CAT, Israeli bandages, and a Hy-Fin Chest Seal.

It sound’s like a lot but other than the guns, it doesn’t come close to filling up the toolbox in the bed of the truck.  But I still have that niggling sensation that I’m just being paranoid.  I mean it’s Northern Alabama not the Green Zone.  What am I doing.

Then, while trolling the various American news outlets for stuff to write about I come across this headline:

Alabama man pleads guilty to trying to help ISIS

Wait, what?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An Alabama man pleaded guilty to terrorism charges Thursday, admitting that be bought bomb-making materials and had hoped to conduct attacks at a military installation or police stations.

In federal court in Birmingham, Aziz Sayyed, 23, of Huntsville, entered the plea to charges that he sought to aid a foreign terrorist organization.

Huntsville?  We have an ISIS cell in Huntsville?

How come I haven’t heard shit about this?.

According to the plea agreement, Sayyed told people he wanted to attack police stations or the Redstone Arsenal military installation in Huntsville. 

The fuck!?!  That’s my back yard.  Literally (or close to it), the only thing that separates the development I live in from Redstone is chain link fence and a stand of trees.  They’ve fired off ordinance on the Arsenal that makes my windows shake and my dog hide under the bed.

Sayyed’s bail is set at $250,000 cash only. If he is released from the Madison County Jail, Sayyed will be on house arrest and required to wear an ankle monitor, according to court documents. If Sayyed fails to show up for court, the cash could be forfeited. He is required to pay monthly fees for the GPS monitoring, as well as a $1,700 deposit.

Oh great, the terrorist and wannabe martyr is out on an ankle monitor.

Investigators alleged Sayyed obtained the materials for making a TATP (triacetone triperoxide) bomb. During Tuesday’s hearing, Huntsville police Investigator Brad Snipes testified those items, including acetone, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and a cooler, were seized from Sayyed’s home at Twickenham Village Apartments.

As a trained chemical engineer, I can tell you TATP is not that hard to make.

At least he doesn’t live that close to me.

Also seized from Sayyed’s apartment were a computer, plywood and numerous throwing knives, a passport, Iranian money and receipts from his purchase of bomb-making materials, the investigator testified. Sayyed purchased the sheet of plywood to practice is knife-handling skills, according to authorities.

Oh, great, brushing up on his Israeli/European Knife Intifada tactics.  Even better.

Sayyed is an American citizen, native of North Carolina. He was living in Huntsville to attend Calhoun Community College.

Do people really go out of state to attend community college, or was that his cover while targeting Redstone.  Having Iranian money for a US native seems to indicate that there was something bigger here.

I’ve changed my mind.  The more armed the better.

Maybe it is time to reevaluate my choice of CCW too.  If I have to worry about dodging an ISIS bomb, car, and knife attack, maybe an M4/M203 combo is what I need.

Illinois House passes measure to raise assault-style weapon buying age to 21

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) – Possession of assault-style weapons by anyone under 21 would be illegal under legislation that the Illinois House endorsed.

The plan sponsored by Democratic Rep. Michelle Mussman of Schaumburg would prohibit minors from buying or possessing high-capacity weapons, attachments, .50-caliber rifles and cartridges. They would have 90 days to transfer ownership.

The legislation was OK’d 64-51.

Remember, they are not going to take your guns away.  Stop being paranoid.

According to the state of Illinois, a young man, serving in the US Military, old enough to buy cigarettes and die in combat for his country is a minor.

Holy shit!

Now, out of curiosity, who does this 19 year old get to transfer his rifle to?  The government?  A private sale?  To his parents?

Critics decried the idea that the government would confiscate property. Mussman said authorities will not visit homes to pick up weapons.

It’s not confiscatory, we’re not going door to door to take your guns.

But a first offense for getting caught with prohibited firearms would be a misdemeanor offense.

You just can’t get caught with having it, that’s soooooo much better.

So what does the law say?

Bill HB1465

 (e) Sentence. 

(1) A person who knowingly delivers, sells, or possesses or causes to be delivered or sold, in violation of this Section an assault weapon commits a Class 3 felony for a first violation and a Class 2 felony for a second or subsequent violation or for the possession or delivery of 2 or more of these weapons at the same time. 

(2) A person who knowingly delivers, sells, or possesses or causes to be delivered or sold, in violation of this Section an assault weapon attachment commits a Class 4 felony for a first violation and a Class 3 felony for a second or subsequent violation.

(3) A person who knowingly delivers, sells, or possesses or causes to be delivered or sold, in violation of this Section a .50 caliber rifle commits a Class 3 felony for a first violation and a Class 2 felony for a second or subsequent violation or for the possession or delivery of 2 or more of these weapons at the same time.

(4) A person who knowingly delivers, sells, or possesses or causes to be delivered or sold, in violation of this Section a .50 caliber cartridge commits a Class A misdemeanor.’

You read that right.  In the text of the bill, a 20 year old caught with an AR-15 that he bought legally before this goes into effect is a felon.  A felon.

The media or the State Rep they interviewed lied.

Sec. 24-1.10. Delivery or sale of large capacity ammunition feeding devices to persons under 21 years of age prohibited.

(a) In this Section: “Large capacity ammunition feeding device” means:  (1) a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition; or (2) any combination of parts from which a device described in paragraph (1) of this subsection (a) can be assembled.

Better toss those replacement followers, enough springs and sheet metal and you are a felon.

“Large capacity ammunition feeding device” does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition or a tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm or any device that has been made permanently inoperable.

Congrats, your Marlin Model 60 and its 14 round tube mag just made you a felon.

(d) Sentence. A person who knowingly delivers, sells, possesses, or causes to be delivered or sold, in violation of this Section a large capacity ammunition feeding device capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition commits a Class 3 felony for a first violation and a Class 2 felony for a second
21 or subsequent violation or for delivery or possession of 2 or more of these devices at the same time. Any other violation of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor.

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming law.

More than 15 rounds and it’s illegaler.  Considering that most of the guns I’ve bought come with two mags, that’s an instant class 2 felony.

Also, there is no grace period for magazines.  The bill is signed  into law and you are a felon.  You should just crush and throw away your magazines now, because god help you if you find out about the passing of the bill the next day on the morning news, you’ve been a felon for the last 18 hours.

I’m not a lawyer, but I cannot see how this is legal.

Right now it hasn’t passed yet, but if it does, I have a feeling this is going to make its way to SCOTUS.

There is no way a state can render thousands or even tens of thousands of people into felons overnight by banning something that they owned legally the day before.

This court case will be fun to watch.

And pray for the citizens of Illinois.  I am glad I am no longer one of them.
