Sorry, but it is the image he projects that simply cannot be associated with Freedom and Rights in any way possible.

He can be wearing a purple clown suit with orange hair and big yellow shoes and Leni Riefenstahl’s would hire him for Triumph Of The Will as perfect example of the Nazi Youth and Aryan Stereotype.

This is why we can’t have nice things – Daniel Defense Edition

Daniel Defense posted on Facebook their support for the Fix NICS Act.

Dear Friends,

I need your help. I believe the Fix NICS Act (S. 2135), sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), is presently the only common sense approach to keeping firearms out of the hands of the wrong people. This bipartisan bill, which aims to keep firearms from being sold to criminals and other dangerous people, was introduced by U.S. Senator John Cornyn of Texas. All provisions of this bill have already been voted on and passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. While the bill has enough votes to pass the Senate, we must put pressure on our representatives until the President puts pen to paper.

Our Senators, by passing the Fix NICS Act, can take logical steps TODAY to improve background checks through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). By doing so, states would not only be required to, but would be held accountable for not complying with new reporting procedures which would ensure background checks are complete and reliable. The Fix NICS Act would:

• Mandate federal agencies to report criminal convictions to the 
Attorney General
• Require reporting of select mental health records that prohibit the 
purchase of firearms (Fix NICS only seeks to require mental health 
records that fit current federal categories)
• Hold states and federal agencies accountable for failing to upload 
records

The Fix NICS Act is supported by the NRA and NSSF.  The purpose of it is very clear, to make it mandatory for goverment agencies to report prohibited persons to NCIS.

There are three mass shootings in recent history that the shooters bought guns because they were not reported to NCIS.

Devin Patrick Kelley, the Southerland Springs church shooter, was court martialed out of the Air Force for domestic violence but the Air Force never reported it.

Jared Lee Loughner, the Tuscon shooter, should have been prohibited but it wasn’t reported to NCIS.

Same with Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter.

Fix NICS is the ONLY bill I’ve seen so far that actually might prevent another shooting and does not punish law abiding citizens.

Unfortunately, some really extreme gun owners decided that Daniel Defense’s support of the NRA/NSSF backed bill was tantamount to S&W deal with the Clinton Administration.

When you call the NRA-ILA traitors, you have gone off the deep end.

We as gun owners could back a bill that will actually work and not be a gun ban, and get some good press (as limited as that may be) for actually taking a stand for supporting keeping guns out of the hands of bad people.  But when you take a position like that, it only makes gun owners look worse.

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about proposed gun control laws and there are some wide areas in the law that I believe need to be addressed.

Readers of this blog should by now know that I am a supporter of gun rights and civil liberties.  I can’t believe that I feel like I have to say that, but I do.

Part of the problem with the Parkland shooting was that despite everything that we learned about Cruz, nothing he did made him a prohibited person.

Then there is the issue with military veterans and suicide.

I think there is huge problem with the fact that people are either prohibited persons, which is effectively permanent, or not.

I want a national temporary restraining order system for gun ownership.  Yes, I know that sounds like what California did, and I agree, the California system is easily abused.  But I have come to believe that a temporary ban on gun ownership is a good idea as long as a persons civil rights were protected.

First of all, any temporary ban must come through a hearing.  The person should have the right to defend themselves before a judge, with counsel.

The temporary ban should have a built in expiration date.  If the petitioner doesn’t repetition, it automatically defaults back to the person having their full rights.  Also, there would have to be a limit on the length and number of repetitions allowed.  This needs to be in line with the legal concept of Habeas Corpus.

I don’t like the idea that a single civilian can petition a judge.  I see that as way for angry ex-wives and pissed off college kids to get revenge.  It needs to come from a law enforcement agency or licensed mental health professional.

Guns taken by law enforcement must be returned at the end of the temporary ban.  If they are not, compensation is required to be performed by the agency.  No “oops, your nice Wilson Combat grew legs and walked out of the storage locker into the Chief’s house, you’re screwed now.”

There are two reasons I think this is a good idea:

One:  Parkland.  Imagine a person gets the police called on them several (45) times over the course of a few months.  Minor things like screaming fights with the neighbors and kicking dogs.  None of them is enough to make that person prohibited, but taken together, it is evidence that there is an escalating violent streak.

The police could petition a judge and say”

“We’ve been to this guy’s house to break up fights and deal with threats a dozen times.  He’s causing a lot of problems in the neighborhood, but hasn’t hurt anybody yet.  Can we take his guns, investigate him, and have him sent to a mental health facility for evaluation?  Give us a 60 day restraining order.”

If the investigation leads nowhere, the guy gets his rights back in 60 days.  Maybe he needs court ordered anger management.  He can have his gun rights suspended for the length of the treatment then get his rights back.

Two: Veteran suicides.  PTSD is troubling, but it is curable.  I don’t want to take away a veteran’s rights.  I also don’t want a veteran to kill himself either.  Allow a mental health professional to petition to suspend this person’s gun rights for the time he is bottoming out emotionally.  Once he is better, his rights are automatically restored.

The problem right now is a person is either fully legal or permanently prohibited.  That makes it tough to prevent a shooting or a suicide as the bar to becoming a prohibited person is high (for a reason, which is good) or some mental illnesses are curable and the person shouldn’t lose their rights forever for a temporary crisis.

A prohibited person can have their rights restored but the onus is on them.

A temporary system, that has a lower bar for restriction on gun ownership, but automatically restores rights would fill that gap.

Yes, I understand such a bill would have to be written VERY carefully and VERY specifically.  At every turn it would need to default back to full civil liberties to prevent it from becoming a short cut to prohibition.  Yes, I know the Left with try to add a bunch of bullshit to it.

I think this would be very useful to fill the gap in the law right now and might actually help prevent further mass shootings.

Coming out of the woodwork

Mar 10, 2018 J. Kb 5 comments

This week has really been a God awful, shitty week for Jews vis a vis the Democrats.

At the end of February, Louis Farrakhan (yimakh shemo) delivered a viciously Antisemitic speech.  He called the Jews “satanic” and blamed us for pretty much everything bad.

His Antisemitism is nothing new.  Jake Tapper (much to his credit) made the contents of this speech public.  He also called out the Democrats and high profile activists on the Left who have palled around with Farrakhan and didn’t denounce it.

Here is video of him going to town on this on his show.

As it turns out, one of the Co-Presidents of the Women’s March, Tamika Mallory, was there at that speech.

This is bad for the Women’s March.  Co-Founder Linda Sarsour is a well known Antisemite and now the Co-President was caught attending the Farrakhan hate rally.

At this point, the Women’s March might as well start having their meetings in a hotel in Wannsee, Berlin.

That is not the big news.

The big news is just how badly the media ignored or spun this.

Maybe because Barack Obama and most of the Congressional Black Caucus met with him in a secret meeting that was suppressed by the media in 2005 and now people want to know why someone who sounds like Black Hitler is so influential on the Left?

Maybe because the Women’s March weaseled out of an apology for meeting with this piece of shit in a bowtie.

Maybe because Yahoo news framed Tamika Mallory as the victim.

Maybe because Oliver Willis thinks that this “controversy” is bullshit.

But wait, it gets worse.

Congressman Danny Davis, the Democrat from Illinois 7th District, doubled down on his friendship with Farrakhan and didn’t worry about the “Jewish question.”  Because a Democrat Representative sounding like Hitler isn’t cause for concern at all.

Congressman Andre Carson, the Democrat from Indiana’s 7th District, was questioned about Farrakhan by Jewish Republicans.  Rather than condemn Farrakhan, he demanded that the Jewish Republicans condemn Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu.  Only in the mind of a raging Antisemite is Netanyahu worse than Farrakhan and everything is Israel’s fault.

But were still not done yet.

Ammar Campa-Najjar is running for Congress against Republican Duncan Hunter in California and received the Democrat nomination and endorsement.  So what?

Campa-Najjar’s grandfather was Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar, a mastermind of the terrorist murder of 11 Israeli Olympic athletes and coaches at the 1972 Games in Germany. Al-Najjar was assassinated a year later by Israeli commandos.

Fuck me sideways.  This makes him a fucking hero to the Left.

The media had to get the great-great grandchildren of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis to condemn the statues of their ancestors, but the grandson of an Israeli murdering terrorist gets a ringing endorsement.

In the last week, the Democrats and their PACs have fallen over themselves to demonstrate their level of Jew hatred.

THIS is why I am an angry, gun owning Jew.  Between support for Farrakhan and Antifa,  the Democrats are morphing into the Waffen SS.

Schadenfreude overdose

Karen Mallard is a teacher running for Congress in the Second District of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

She announced her candidacy by making a Facebook post where she cuts up her husband’s AR-15* because of Parkland.

*She must of cut her husband’s balls off previously, because this is grounds for instant divorce for just about every gun owner I know.  

Anybody who knows anything about gun laws recognizes that she made an SBR on Facebook.

Well, announcing your candidacy to the Congress of the United States by publicly violating the National Firearms Act of 1934 is a great way to get the attention of Liberal idiots and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

ATF investigating after congressional candidate cut apart AR-15

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) — The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating congressional candidate Karen Mallard after she posted a video on Facebook that shows her cutting apart an AR-15 rifle.

She goes on to explain that she wasn’t happy when her husband bought the AR-15 “a while back.” Mallard adds that after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on February 14, and the renewed outcries for stricter gun control that followed, she and her husband agreed they didn’t want the AR-15 in their home.

The couple later decided they didn’t want it in anyone else’s house, either.

“So, today, we’re going to destroy it,” Mallard state in the video before taking a handheld power saw to the rifle.

Here’s the best part:

Mallard said she followed legal procedure, writing in her Facebook post:

And yes for all the NRA trolls out there, I finished the job according to regulation and turned it over to the police. Why are you more outraged about me taking a gun out of circulation than about our children being murdered in our schools?

Yes, all those NRA trolls who happen to know the law far better than a woman who wants to be a legislator.  Now that “racist” and “bigot” have lost their punch with the Left, “trolls” seems to be the new favorite ad hominem for dismissing arguments.

What they are outraged about is someone who doesn’t know current gun laws wanting to make up new ones.  Especially while she is violating one of the oldest federal gun laws in effect.

Also, there is no “finished the job according to regulation” if the barrel is cut off 10 seconds before the lower receiver, it’s still a felony.

Master Police Officer Tonya Pierce, spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Police Department, confirmed that the rifle was in the department’s possession. Pierce told 13News Now the ATF was looking into the situation.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

 

I hope the ATF nails her to the wall and leaves her there.  It’s about God damn time that one of these Lefty assholes who breaks the law in an anti-gun publicity stunt feels the wrath of the law.

I just can’t wait to see her opponent’s campaign ads.

Are condemned to have very stupid kids.

This is from the Henry W. Grady High School of Atlanta, GA.

 

Nice image! And used a lot in the past slogans like “Stomp the Jews” and “Stomp the Fags.”

Well done there, lads. Well done.
