People that come or trace their origins to the North West region of Spain (Galicia) are supposed to be the Spanish version of the Polish jokes: Hard working and nice people (till you piss us off) but sometime dumb as rocks.

Guess where your kind host traces his lineage? Yup.

I confess that I have been misreading the CWP report and thinking the totals for the year were the new monthly additions. Boy do I feel like a gigantic idiot.

Anyway. we came up short the two million by 46K and change.

Still we are the state with more Concealed Weapons permits in the Union.  We should start bothering fellow Floridians with guns and tell them to get their CWP if nothing else to bypass the stupid 3 day waiting period and to avoid pitfalls that come with not having one.

Let’s Make 2019 the year of the 2 million if only to annoy the Democrats bot state and nation-wide who help put a pothead in charge.

Once upon a time, Colorado was a Red state.  It was a land of miners and cowboys.  It was the Wild West.

Then Colorado became the first state to legalize recreational marijuana.

Apparently that has not be enough to deaden the mind against whatever misery rampant Liberalism causes in people.  The people of Denver are now pushing forward with a ballot initiative to legalize magic mushrooms.

Magic mushroom decriminalization just got 8,000 signatures closer to being on Denver’s ballot

Activists who hope to make Denver the first U.S. city to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms moved a step closer to that goal Monday by turning in ballot petitions.

The initiative, if approved by voters in the May municipal election, would apply to the use and possession of psilocybin mushrooms, also called magic mushrooms, by adults 21 and older — by making it the lowest law-enforcement priority and barring the use of city resources to impose penalties.

Though psilocybin mushrooms are classified as an illegal drug federally, the strategy echoes earlier moves in Denver to decriminalize marijuana prior to state voters’ approval of legalization in 2012.

Who cares about federal law anymore, if you live in a Blue State, you can do whatever you want.  It’s not like the federal government is going to go in and arrest the politicians that openly violate it.  Just ask any gun owner who has had his rights under the Safe Passage clause of FOPA violated by New York.

Once this passes in Denver, you know it will spread to the rest of the state.

Also, it looks like Colorado isn’t alone in this.

In Oregon, activists plan to seek a 2020 statewide ballot measure that would allow the use of mushrooms for people with medical needs.

One word: Portland.

Drug use is a crutch.  Happy, emotionally fulfilled people do not need a mind altering substance to cope with their lives.

Over and over we see that it is the most Liberal, most Progressive areas of the country that are working to legalize and/or decriminalize drugs.

It is these same places that the costs of living are the highest, the streets are the dirtiest, Antifa/BLM/SJW activists roam the streets tormenting people, and the traditional virtues are looked down upon as antiquated and bigoted.

It’s these people who shut down comedians and write article after article about how to torment family members at holiday dinners over political nonsense.

When they have been made so miserable that they can’t stand it anymore, they legalize marijuana.

They give the lowest of the low free needles and let them shoot up opiates in parks.

When pot isn’t strong enough anymore, apparently mushrooms are the next drug of choice.

Eventually, these Progressive Blue States are going to made up of three demographics:

1. The super wealthy Progressive elite who live walled off from the misery they create.
2. Illegal immigrants and their un-assimilated children who work as a low paid servant class.
3. Citizens stoned out of their gourds, whose job it is to vote for the Progressive elite that legalize the drugs and give them free stuff.

Writing about Progressive America is the worst Orwell Huxley ideological ship fanfiction I can imagine.

We know David Hogg was in school the day Niki Cruz did his massacre, but exactly where? His video inside a classroom where he tell the time and that he heard a shot is well after Cruz had stopped shooting and was no longer in the premises. In interviews, he mentions a custodian hero who herded everybody back inside, but that did not happen in Building 12, but possibly in Building 6 or 7 according to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission Report.

Building 12 is called the Freshmen Building and Hogg was a senior and was taking some Advanced environmental class when the shooting happened. It has never been defined where was hoe in school, but there is a great probability he was not in Building 12, same as Emma Gonzalez who was in the auditorium (building 8) when it the shooting happened.

Just my thoughts on this labeling as survivor just because you were in the same zip code. .

Florida Representative Ted Douche Deutch is dropping House Resolution 8 today, calling for universal background checks on all guns sales in the US.

He’s been hyping this on Twitter with the hashtag #HR8.

The more he tries to sell this bill, the more clear it becomes that it’s not going to prevent anything.

Sandy Hook. Silence.
Las Vegas. Silence.
Sutherland Springs. Silence.
Parkland. Silence.
Santa Fe. Silence.
Pittsburgh. Silence.
Thousand Oaks. Silence. #HR8 intro on 1/8 the 8th anniversary of @GabbyGiffords shooting to close background check loopholes & end the silence. https://t.co/32qay1AYIx

— Ted Deutch (@RepTedDeutch) January 5, 2019

In every one of the above shootings, with the exceptions of Santa Fe and Sandy Hook, the shooter passed a background check because of failure of the system.

The shooter at Sutherland Springs didn’t have his conviction reported to NICS by the Air Force.

Nikolas Cruz was never charged by the BSO or convicted and made a prohibited person.

The Santa Fe and Sandy Hook shooter stole their guns.

Not one of the listed mass shootings did a shooter buy a gun in a private sale that did not go through a background check.

The bill is being dropped today because it is the 8th year anniversary of the Gabby Giffords shooting, another shooting in which the shooter passed a background check because he was not a prohibited person.

David Hogg has come out of hiding to stump for this bill in the least helpful way possible.

Parkland Survivors David Hogg and Jaclyn Corin: It’s Time Republican Cowards Ditched NRA Cash and Voted For Gun Checks
By: David Hogg and Jaclyn Corin

Ninety-seven percent. That’s the overwhelming percentage of Americans who are in favor of universal background checks. No issue in American politics is more universally agreed upon than this.

That statistic seems a lot like the “consensus on man made climate change,” i.e., totally made up by the media.

The truth of the matter is that members of Congress have spent decades being more concerned with their individual political futures than preventing gun fatalities. Most past presidents, too, have paid little more than lip service to families reeling from the loss of their children and loved ones.

Today, a new bill will be introduced that offers a glimmer of hope after a year marked by unspeakable tragedy. The universal background bill, sponsored by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY), will close loopholes like the one for online gun sales and the gun show loophole, which have made it easy for just about anyone to buy a gun.

The online loophole and gun show loophole that don’t exist and have been turned into legends by the media.  I’ve been hearing about these loopholes for a long as I can remember.

When our school was shot up, we became one of those statistics from the last eight years. We were the evening news headline. We were those kids running out of our school with SWAT teams armed as if they were going into battle. Seventeen of our classmates and teachers didn’t make it back that day.

I guess David Hogg never read the Parkland Commission Report, because it had nothing to do with Congress and everything to do with the absolute failure of every adult in and around the school that day, with the exception of the Coral Springs PD.

State and federal lawmakers figured out how to mandate that people have insurance when they drive a vehicle. They’ve regulated and made our water safe to drink (for the most part). And they most certainly require us to go to school. So then, what is it about a universal background check—a check that will save lives—that has our politicians so afraid?

Three words: National. Rifle. Association.

The NRA is more powerful than the Jews, the Illuminati, and the Reptilians put together.

Our politicians—particularly those on the right—have been in the pocket of the NRA, and too many of them have put profits ahead of people. And the result of their intransigence is borne out in the lives that we can’t get back.

I’m calling this the NRA blood libel.  “Politicians want NRA money more than they want to save kids.”  That’s a blood libel. That’s all it is.

We’ve met hundreds of people who will never get to see their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, boyfriends, or girlfriends ever again—their lives stolen by a bullet. Thousands of lives taken by gun violence could have been saved if this bill became law long ago, since a majority of guns (purchased for criminal purpose) are bought through the private sector and not monitored by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

HORSESHIT!!!

Most guns used by criminals are purchased from other criminals.  They are stolen or the results of straw purchases.

Gun shows and internet sales like Armslist are a negligible source of guns in crime.  Most law abiding citizens don’t want to sell a gun to a criminal.

The idea that some drug dealer will have his background check run by the guy who is selling him a straw purchased gun in a back alley in Chicago is bullshit.

Our plan is to fight in the only way we know how: to organize young people. Today, we will be in Washington to hear what the politicians have to say. We will demand that the Senate take up the bill and that both the House and Senate send legislation to the president’s desk for him to sign. In 2020, 22 Republican Senators are up for reelection. All, except one, have never voted to take a stand against gun violence, something that more than 79 percent of Republicans support.

This part is important, we gun owners need to step it up to make sure our voices are louder than these shitty kids’.

Today’s universal background check bill is the right step, a step that will help save lives. We urge Republican Senators up for reelection, including Mitch McConnell, to listen to the majority of Americans who support a universal background check and recognize that NRA donations will not protect them from the millions of voters who strongly support keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people.

No it won’t, it will to shit to prevent real crime but will turn otherwise law abiding gun owners into criminals without their even realizing it.

This is another bill that is going to punish law abiding gun owners for the abject failure of government.

When the bill drops I will look into it in greater details and see just how bad it is, but from the opinions and lies so far, it is going to be a disaster.

California Governor Gavin Newsom was sworn into office and in true 2019 fashion did it in the most anti-Trump way possible.

California Governor Newsom Vows ‘Sanctuary To All Who Seek It’ In Inauguration Speech

California’s new governor is promising the most populous state will be a “sanctuary to all who seek it” in a direct affront to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

It’s great to see the incoming governor of America’s most populous state openly promise to defy federal law.

That’s not the only thing he did.

He attacked the “gun lobby that’s willing to sacrifice the lives of our children to line their pockets.”

Clearly the civil rights of law abiding American citizens are a problem, but illegal immigrants pouring over the border to receive benefits from the State of California is a blessing.

The Governor is engaging in what amounts to secessionist rhetoric at his inaugural address, putting his vision for California over federal law and the Constitution of the United States.

Between Cuomo and Newsom, it is clear that the Governors of our Big Blue states see themselves as the kings of their own Progressive fiefdoms.

Rep. Walter Bryan “Mike” Hill, R-Pensacola Beach.

I have to say this: Mike sure has a set of danglers or he has seen how pissed off Florida Gun Owners were and are about SB7026. I think the Parkland Report may be useful for more than fortifying schools after all.

I saw this today.  No it’s not a bad Photoshop, it’s Sig’s new MPX Copperhead.

Maybe I’m just a Fudd, but I’m kind of at a loss here.

All the ballistic performance of a Glock 26 (3.5 inch barrel).

All the weight of a Desert Eagle (4.5 lbs).

All the concealability of an AR-15 Upper and lower group.

All for the low, low price of $2,000 (MSRP $1,800 but that’s without the optic and it doesn’t come with sights of any kind).

I just don’t get it.

Look, I get the point of a compact PDW, I really do.  But at some point there is diminishing return on shortening the barrel.  You lose accuracy and ballistic performance.  You increase the likelyhood of shooting yourself in your Left (off) hand.  I don’t get the point of a PDW with a barrel shorter than your sidearm.

I thought the MP5SK with its 4.5 in barrel was pushing it, but this is just sort of comical.

Some part of me feels like some design engineer over at Sig went into work angry on a Monday morning muttering “too small, there is no such thing as too small…” and went to work on AutoCad.

I may be wrong, and maybe the tactical crowd will eat this up, but personally, this trend towards shorter and shorter barrels is getting kind of ridiculous.
