Florida: EMERGENCY ALERT: House Members Need to hear from you NOW

DATE: March 6, 2018
TO: USF & NRA Member and Friends

Senate Passes Gun Control Legislation

Yesterday, the Florida Senate voted 20 to 18 to pass a bill that punishes law-citizens for the actions of a mentally deranged criminal who murdered 17 people after repeated warnings were ignored by officials in Florida.

THE REASON THE GUN CONTROL BILL SB-7026 PASSED? Senate leadership strong-armed enough Senators to vote in favor of the bill, despite hearing from gun owners across Florida that passing gun control would do nothing to secure our schools or fix our broken mental health system.

YOU and every other law-abiding gun owner is being blamed for an atrocious act of premeditated murder. Neither the 3-day waiting period on all rifles and shotguns, raising the age from 18 to 21 to buy any firearm, or the bump stock ban will have any effect on crime. Despite that fact, Senate leaders rammed through gun control as part of the bill.

The bill in NOW IN THE HOUSE where House leadership is trying to bully Second Amendment supporters to get them to vote for the gun control package.

Please EMAIL members of the Florida House IMMEDIATELY and tell them to VOTE NO ON GUN CONTROL– VOTE NO ON SB-7026.

Urge them to provide armed security in schools and tighten mental health laws to keep guns out of the hands of those who are a danger to themselves or others BUT LEAVE THE RIGHTS OF LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS ALONE.

IN THE SUBJECT LINE PUT: VOTE NO ON GUN CONTROL– Vote Against SB-7026

Thank you!

With the one exception by Senator Steube, most of the 229 amendments (So far at 9:20 am) placed for consideration have been venomously Anti Gun. Only a miniscule part had to do with appropriations and administrative issues.

No GOP Senator or Representative other than Steube has had the courage of step up to write their own Pro-Gun Amendment.

Dear Florida GOP, next year when you are trying to figure out how you lost the Governorship, the Senate and the House, you may want to come back to this month and review where did you screw up.

According to a new amendment to be added to the SB 7026 by Representative Smith. If it is in the bill then it has to be something that could have stopped the massacre, right?

Now that is good thinking. Why don’t we create a huge HIGH SCORE – OMAR MATEEN marker for other assholes to be inspired?

Welcome to HB 7101 and the House Democrats started to pile the stupid:

– A person may not transfer, sell, keep for sale, or offer for sale, or display in public, a large capacity magazine. (We must not scare the snowflakes)
-Assault Weapons Ban Dianne Feinstein-Style.
-Universal Background Checks.
-New Prohibited Class: Convicted of Misdemeanor “Hate Crime.” Kinda funny because I could not find Hate Crime codified in the Florida Statutes.
-Tax on guns and ammunition. But get this: “Revenue generated and collected under the tax imposed by this section shall be used to provide a grant of $500 to each teacher who qualifies for the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program but declines to participate in the program.” Huh? (This amendment was brought to you by Rep Evan Jenner. If the name sound familiar, you are right. It is his son.)
-Banning hollow point ammunition. Rep. Jenne again. You must surrender your existing cache by October 2018. The usual LEO and Military exceptions apply.
-Risk Protection Order again. We are moving to a California-Kamala-Harris-Style protection. You just need somebody that alleges “that the respondent poses a significant danger of causing personal injury to himself or herself or others by having a firearm
-Large-capacity magazine parts. If you have a follower or a floor plate that can be used in a High Cap mag, you will be considered a bad boy or girl.
-Liberals hate Mandatory Sentences, except if you discharge an Evil Back Rifle during the commission of ANY felony, you get an automatic 25 years in prison.

I am sure we all have more idiotic amendments from the House Democrats during the day.  I’ll update accordingly.

UPDATE #1

-State Mandated Gun Store Design (Welcome to the monkey cage. Seriously, fully caged like a WWE Match)
-16 Hours of extra training for CWP.
-No Large-capacity magazines, no grandfathering.
-No Large-capacity magazines, no grandfathering and with a 2 year sunset proviso. (Don’t ask me.)
-Stolen Firearm Police Report mandatory.
-1 million US dollars to give to the city of Orlando to make a memorial for Pulse shooting. ??????
-Florida’s version of ATF Form 4473 for State Firearm Registration.
–ELIMINATION OF IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION
-Mix and Match of No Guns Under 21 with Universal Background checks.

UPDATE #2

-Individuals cannot manufacture a firearm. (How did I miss this one? No 80% receivers, NO AK build Clubs)
-Two year ban on AR-15. (Sweetening the pot for reluctant GOP who think they will be in charge in two years)

Intersectionality is poison.  It is an intellectual cancer that metastasizes across ideas and destroys them.  Once intersectionlality takes root in a brain, the death of rational though is inevitable.

Shannon Watts has a terminal case of intersectionality.

Bethany Mandel is a conservative, Jewish writer with Forward and The Federalist.

She wrote an OpEd in the New York Times I wanted to be a good mom.  So I got a gun.  

She was targeted, threatened, and doxed by the Alt Right for being anti-Trump, with her address published on The Daily Stormer.  So she bought a gun.

I’ve read some of her writings, and while I don’t agree with everything she says (do any two people agree on everything?) this I was on board with.  She felt her life was in danger because of stuff she published online and wanted to protect herself with a firearm.  Good job.

Enter Shannon Watts.

Interesting that the New York Times paired this op-ed by a white woman based on her anecdotes of fear and paranoia – instead of actual gun safety data – with a photo of a woman of color… https://t.co/gDayS7DcsX

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) March 5, 2018

A Jewish woman is threatened by neo-Nazis and Shannon thinks that’s paranoia.  She is more upset about the New York Times use of Getty Images than a conservative being doxed.

When a mind is being destroyed by the cancer of intersectionality, everything is about race.  So Shannon Watts then doubled down.

Because your privilege in feeling that a gun will make you safer is in part because you are white. CDC data actually shows the opposite about gun ownership.

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) March 6, 2018

A Jewish woman is threatened by neo-Nazis and according to Shannon Watts, her desire to protect herself is white privilege.

Update: I missed a comment Shannon Watts made. She keeps doubling down on “thinking a gun makes you safe is white privilege” insanity.

Holy mother of god. I've done it. I have actually managed to find the worst tweet I've ever seen. I am actually shocked by what she said here. pic.twitter.com/dPe9EuZwwW

I’m pretty sure that the neo-Nazis over at The Daily Stormer don’t think Bethany Mandel is white.  I wonder how that factors into Shannon Watts’ analysis.

I guess if Bethany Mandel wants to be more “woke” and less privileged, she should just let herself be hurt or possibly killed by some neo-Nazis and leave her three kids without a mom.  Then she’ll be the victim of a hate crime and there is nothing more “woke” than that.

I can’t speak for Bethany Mandel, but if being attacked by neo-Nazis while defenseless is what it takes to not be privileged, than I am going to embrace my white privilege’s Houge grips and defend myself.

I’m not going to leave my kids fatherless to impress Shannon Watts with how “woke” I am.

The media’s consensus about Dana Loesch’s videos on NRA TV is that they are ‘threatening.’  She has been called a “hitman” for speaking in front of a camera.

Of course, these same people see a billboard vandalized to say “Kill the NRA” and say it is nothing more than a “call to action” and not an actual threat.

A writer with The Guardian gave her take on gun owners.

I suppose what really baffles me is that I can’t think of a single reason why a civilian needs to own a military-grade weapon, apart from being a monstrous arsehole. 

This is not terribly different than Slate’s take which is that gun owners are scared and weak and want guns to soothe their feelings of inadequacy.

A group called Mad Dog PAC put up a billboard calling NRA a terrorist organization, because that still isn’t played out.

This is Mad Dog PAC. This is what we do. We have anti NRA anti Trump and anti GOP billboards from coast to coast. Chip in here https://t.co/TJFoYRw0A2 pic.twitter.com/Sj4tazIj1v

We hear all the time that “you don’t need an AR-15 to hunt deer.”

During his terrible Oscar performance, the rapper Common said the “NRA is in God’s way.”

For the last three weeks we’ve been hearing from a handful of select Parkland students how NRA donations are blood money and the NRA is evil.

It is a non stop barrage of how we are scared, pathetic, psychologically damaged people with little penises.

Look, I get it.  The anti-fun forces in America don’t know anything about guns, don’t understand gun owners, don’t like guns, and most of all don’t like gun owners.

So if I were going to turn around and call the antis a name it would be “Tipper Gore.”

The anti gun fight today is the same fight we’ve seen in human history forever.  It is the battle between the meddlers and those people who just want to be left alone.

Back in the 1980’s and 1990’s, there were uptight puritanical meddlers who didn’t like Rock music or violent video games and did everything in their power to get Congress to ban them and increase the age needed to buy what the couldn’t ban.   Remember that these same people blamed Marilyn Manson for the Columbine Shooting.

Now they have turned their attention to guns.  The 1994 AWB didn’t work.  Neither has any state or city level AWB or handgun ban or magazine capacity in in New York, California, Chicago, Maryland, Washing DC or anywhere else.

But that doesn’t matter.  They don’t like guns and that is the point.

I like guns.  I enjoy shooting.  There isn’t some deep underlying psychological problem or issue of manhood.  I find shooting to be a thrill.

I used to ride a motorcycle for the same reason but gave that up because of the kids.

I love to lift weights.  Few things feel better than the burn of a good pump.

There are people who are scared shitless of motorcycles.

Then again there are people who love to run marathons or go sky diving.  I don’t understand that.  Personally, I think anybody who runs 26 miles in a stretch is insane.

I understand that just because I don’t understand something and don’t like it myself, isn’t a reason to ban it.

Law abiding gun owners are no threat to greater society.  Many are, in fact, the opposite.

What we want is (I said it before, I’ll say it again) to be left the hell alone.

Let me buy what I want to buy and own what I want to own.  Let me carry concealed where I want, you won’t even know I have it on me.  Stop trying to interfere in my life because you don’t like what I do.  I’m not hurting anyone and I don’t want to.  Stop meddling.

I will never understand the impulse that some people have to want to micromanage the lives of others.

The message that I want to send if very simple: please leave us the fuck alone.

The Armed Teacher Program was named Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program to honor the coach who used his body to protect students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. But after all the changes made to the bill and giving veto power to the highly left-wing School Boards that will assure the programs will never get started, the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program will come to denote that there will be another coach and another teacher murdered by a nutjob in another Gun Free School because the Florida Legislature across the board decided teachers are too damn stupid to defend themselves and their students with a firearm.

Make no mistake, once this bill becomes law, anybody who voted for it will be responsible for the next unimpeded school massacre.
