This is not only  a dumb “Must Do Something For The Children” bill, but they manage to bamboozled the GOP into voting for Gun Control.

And it is celebration time for the opposition.

And, of course, there is close to three-quarters of a billion dollars of pork to dole out. You did not see that one coming, did ya?

$400 million for mental health and school safety programs,
$98 million to make schools more physically secured
$87 million to establish a Safe Schools program
$69 million for mental health assistance
$25 million to replace the classroom building where the massacre occurred
$18.3 million for mobile crisis teams
$500,000 for mental health first aid training

But it is the NRA the one buying politicians.

Next January, Florida’s color will become blue.

Start buying your stuff now because they will come at us with all they have. CWP and SYG included. We will be the New Jersey of the South.

Alabamians are ready for more gun control.  At least that’s what their Democratic Sen. Doug Jones said.

No, no we’re not. 

We’re very happy Remington is here and can’t wait for Kimber to join them.

We like our gun rights and aren’t fans of losing them because of what some nut job in another state did while the local Sheriff was being worthless.

He fought a really hard campaign to get elected Senator from Alabama.  Seems a waste to throw away all that effort to sabotage his chances at reelection like that.

Oh well.

Last month, survivors of the attack led thousands of protesters in a march on the Capitol demanding a ban on assault weapons and universal background checks for all gun purchases.
Both items, however, are not included in the legislation being discussed and may make the bill unpalatable to Democrats, some of whom are calling for a special session to deal with the issue.
On the other side, some Republicans may turn down the measure because of its three-day waiting period and the minimum age for gun purchases, additions which are opposed by Second Amendment advocates.
Together, those opponents on opposite ends of the spectrum could doom the bill.

Parkland parents urge lawmakers to support compromise gun bill

This would be the perfect ending to this misguided tale of legislation. I am not holding my breath for this one just yet as they are still babbling away in the floor of the House.

Now, there is a budget bill coming and believe me that one is VERY important to both the House and the Senate. So eventually SB 7026 will have to be either voted on or set aside before time runs out Friday. As much as politician wants our guns, they want money even more. I don’t think they will go through the budget in 10 minutes and come back to this bill.

My guess would be later today we have the House voting for this bill and, if approved,  gets returned to the Senate for final masturb… work and to be sent to the Governor.

I was talking to a friend at work about question I proposed regarding how this Parkland thing will end.

What came out of that was an terrifying thought.

We know that there is a segment of the Socialist/Communist/SJW/Progressive Left (whatever you want to call them)  that overtly hates guns, gun owners, and gun culture.

Calling the NRA terrorists or “worse than ISIS” is evidence of this.  So is “kill the NRA” billboards and “gun owners have small penises mockery.”  Regular readers of this blog know that it is an encyclopedia of anti gun hatred of gun owners.

Even if it only a small minority of very rabid individuals, what happens if they get into power?

History has shown us:

The Nazi holocaust of the Jews and Roma.

The Soviet holodomor of the Ukrainians.

The Maoist purge of dissidents.

The Castro and Che executions of Batista supporters.

The killing fields of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge.

The Tutsi genocide in Rwanda.

The mass graves of the Balkans.

The murder of white farmers in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

It ends with mass executions or the subjugation of the hated people by the extremists in power.

True these nations didn’t have Constitutionally protected civil rights of their citizens, but law on paper only matters so much.

Where does that leave us if the most extreme of the anti gun voices to attain majority political power?

It will be the systematic destruction of gun culture.  It may not end with mass graves, but probably with mass arrests and subjugation.

When they have to power to erase the Second Amendment, it will nothing for them to erase the Forth and Fifth when it comes to guns.

This isn’t just an issue of guns, but the eradication of a cultural identity.

Keep that in mind.

Stealing again from Greg Ellifritz who has Ron Borsch as a guest writer.

We should sent this paragraph alone to the people in the Florida Legislature

Only half of Rapid Mass Murder© incidents are ever stopped by anyone, meaning in that half, the murdering stops only when the murderer says it stops, as in this Florida example. In the half that is stopped by someone, it is on-site citizens that are the majority factor by a two-thirds majority. The remaining minority third is stopped by OFF-SITE police. What police responses work best should be well known by professional police officers. For the last several years, we have freely and widely shared the results of our Stopwatch of Death© database of Rapid Mass Murder© going back to 1975.

Systemic Failure of Law Enforcement.

You will do yourself a great favor reading the whole post.

@shannonrwatts We're raising our min. age for purchase of shotguns to 21. True to our commitment to safety & education, customers ages 18-21 can purchase a shotgun with proof that they've completed an official Hunter Education & Safety course. We do not sell assault-style rifles.

Orvis caved to Shannon Watts. 

This is an annoyance but Orvis stopped really being a shooting store years ago.   Thier store in Huntsville sells clothes and luggage, maybe a few flies.  No shooting equipment.  They are just an expensive Eddie Bauer now.

Besides, when thier cheap knockabout shotgun is a $3,850 O/U, it’s not something most 18 year olds can afford.

This list pisses me off.

Tell these companies #NoGunUntil21

Cabela’s.  They are targeting Cabela’s.

Cabela’s doesn’t seem to pay attention to Twitter much, but I’ll say it here.

I am a Cabela’s Black Card member.  I spent just over $39,000 on my card last year.

All my gas, groceries, day care, medical expenses, everything but emergencies goes on the card. 

I don’t know if Shannon Watts has ever been to a Cabela’s, but if Cabela’s folds to her I’m going to find another card to spend my $39,000 a year on.  I won’t do business with any company that sucks up to anti gun right activists.

It was too much to ask for a break. They are up and talking again.

No new amendments added, I guess it is time for inflated rhetoric and pompous bullshit speeches before voting.

I am not watching that crap… probably McThag will, but since he drinks that infernal hooch he cooks behind his outhouse, he is properly dulled to deal with the nonsense.
