Translation: You know for when you register your scary black rifle as we want you to, well, being the nice people we are, we are going to make those records exempt from Florida’s Sunshine Law. That is so nice of Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith (D) to bring us this bill.
Now IMHO, this is not something a Democrat would have thought on his own, in fact, they would not mind leave those records open so their buddies from the media could use them to doxx gun owners. That leads me to believe there might be an undeclared RINO approving the AWB Ban bill. Trust no Republica till they have voted guns,.
Two days after Newsom’s comments, Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) reintroduced a bill that had been vetoed by Brown to allow teachers, employers and co-workers to seek court orders temporarily removing guns from people thought to be a danger to themselves or others.
Have you had a co-worker that does not like you? Or had an argument with your boss who is a dick and wishes he could mess with you without HR getting in the way? Imagine a Berkeley teacher finding out that one of his students belongs to the NRA or shoots clays? The left will weaponize the crap out of this law.
And you know what? Californian Gun Owners should return the favor. Do you know the shitstorm that will happen if one of this Berkeley rabid Lefty professor gets a 3 am warrant served by SWAT? The same goes for some underling working for a gun control congresscritter, see how they like them apples. And clogging the system ain’t a bad idea either. There are so many police officers out there anyway and they would have to either hire more or deal with a very slow response to this evil contraption.
Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib did not preside at the governor’s address to a joint session of the Legislature on Tuesday because he felt vulnerable in the House chamber, where people can carry concealed weapons in the public galleries.
“There is no specific threat to me. There is no specific threat we know of, period,” he said before the governor’s speech. “It’s about the policy.”
So nobody has threatened him directly. He just thinks that Washington CCW permit holders are such dangerous, trigger happy lunatics that they will shoot him in the capital building during the governor’s address.
It’s good to see the Lt. Gov of Washington publicly state that he has that little respect or esteem for the law abiding gun owners of his state.
The annual event, which was held in the chamber of the House of Representatives, was attended by the nine state Supreme Court justices and every statewide elected official — except Habib.
So he’s the unreasonable, paranoid asshole, but the media isn’t going to spin it that way.
Habib’s decision spotlights a difference in security approaches between the House and Senate.
Both chambers ban openly carried weapons in their respective galleries, where people can view lawmaker action from above.
In November 2017, Habib, a Democrat and the presiding officer in the Senate, ordered the ban expanded to cover concealed weapons. His action didn’t apply to the House, however.
Habib, who is blind, said he is concerned the House policy leaves him and every other elected official in attendance more vulnerable.
So he’s always hated CCW permit holders. I guess if there was a real threat, other members of the government wouldn’t show up either, but only Habib is staying home. Makes you think….
Habib’s staff notified House Democratic leaders and the chief clerk of the House early Monday that the lieutenant governor would not attend unless steps were taken to prevent anyone from bringing a concealed weapon into either gallery.
Initially, the lieutenant governor’s staff asked if both galleries could be closed. When that was rejected, they sought unsuccessfully to have some type of metal detection equipment deployed outside the entry doors.
The chief clerk’s office did increase security though it was clear no specific threat existed.
This guy is a self importance, paranoia, and prejudiced dickbag.
A statement issued Tuesday afternoon from the chief clerk’s office expressed regret at Habib’s decision not to preside. It noted that state clearly allows properly licensed individuals to carry concealed weapons on the state capitol campus, including the House galleries.
“Absent any specific security issue, and in accordance with the law, the House kept the galleries open so that the public could see its government in action,” the statement read. “Safety is always a concern, but so is the transparency of the Legislature’s work on behalf of the people.”
I think Habib’s grandstanding got on the chief clerk’s nerves.
Washington state has just passed some serious gun laws and it looks like they are priming to pass more.
This reminds me a lot of what happened in Australia, and not in a good way.
After the Port Arthur Massacre, the Australian government looked to pass a number of gun bans that were quite controversial. The Prime Minster, John Howard, gave a speech before an Australian hunters organization, equivalent to an Australian version of the NRA.
This angered the crowd. The implication clearly being that the Prime Minister thought that the largest organization of law abiding gun owners in Australia would shoot him.
The Australian media presented the anger of the gun rights group as proof that gun owners were emotionally unstable people who shouldn’t have guns and the public perception made the controversial gun laws more popular.
This stunt by Lt. Gov Habib has the same feel to me. He is conspicuously not at the governor’s address because he is worried about CCW owners shooting him – presumably over the gun laws just passed in the state. Any outrage at just how offensive this is to CCW permit holders will be used to justify more restrictions on CCW because CCW permit holders are clearly angry and paranoid people.
This was nothing but a stunt to undermine CCW in Washington state. Be warned of this guy.
This just happened in one of the barrios in Caracas that was protesting last night. Police sent is FAES teams (sort of SWAT mixed with shock troops) through the barrios to impose order and shoot whomever needs shooting.
My thought was: “Just park one car across the street and what a beautiful ambush site you get. Start from the back and walk your way forward.”
And then I remembered that only the criminals have guns and they are not going to do shit they don’t get a profit from. Going bullet to bullet against trained cops is not profitable. Besides, cop keep the regular civilians in check so it is an advantage for the criminals. By tomorrow or day after, the cops will be gone and things are back to normal, so why not take a couple of days off, doing the honeys and getting high?
And that is living in a Gun Free Zone Country for you. Don’t forget they voted in favor of being disarmed.
UPDATE: Come on! A couple of Molotov cocktails tossed from above and that APC is done!
PALMETTO (WWSB) -Since the Broward County school shooting, the state has made sure security is tight around Florida schools.
At Manatee School for the Arts they have put a safety measure in place that is a little different than other schools across the Suncoast.
Because Manatee School for the Arts is a charter school, they’re allowed to make their own rules about security. Just a few months ago they decided their school guardian would carry around a military-style long gun along with a handgun.
I read somewhere that Hope is not a sound tactical strategy. I am sure that there will be people pulling their hair and tearing their clothes at the idea that their precious babies must be in the same acreage as an Evil Black Rifle, even in the hands of a trained person.
“We’ve had a couple of incidents and we just called and they’re here in three minutes. Unfortunately, you look at parkland and in three minutes how many people were killed. So you know you can’t expect much more from the police, there’s only so much they can do and the rest of it is your responsibility,” said (The school’s principal, Dr. Bill) Jones.
This is somebody who read the Parkland Report and I am sure was horrified to find out most of the dead and wounded happened in the first three minutes. And we know that three minutes is a fantastic police response time, but physics and time cannot be bypassed. The response to an attack must be as immediate as possible.
Dr. Jones said there’s been mixed reaction to the gun in the school so far, but overall it’s been positive. He said another guardian who will also carry a long gun will start working at the school very soon.
Well double good: Good reaction from the people and doubling down on security. May it keep the students from harm.
Nicolas Maduro won the 2018 Venezuelan presidential election. He did so in the way Leftist dictators always win elections, through corruption and abuse of power.
Venezuelan leftist President Nicolás Maduro has easily won a second term, but his main rivals have refused to accept the results, calling the polling fraudulent — a view shared by the United States and many independent observers.
The organisation claimed several human rights abuses had taken place the South American country, including the use of lethal force against the most vulnerable in its society.
Its report argued that the Venezuelan government had failed to protect its people and has implemented deadly and repressive measures.
Rubio condemns ‘weirdo Salt Bae’ after Maduro dines at his restaurant It said 8,292 extrajudicial executions taking place between 2015 and 2017.
It also found 4,667 (22 per cent) of homicides in 2016 were at the hands of security officials. Males made up 95 per cent of murder victims, and of those 60 per cent were between 12 and 29 years old.
It’s not just the killing and oppression of civilians that is the problem.
Maduro’s socialist policies have led to hyperinflation of over 80,000% per year. It’s hard to put that into words just how bad it is, so let some visuals make this make sense to you.
Here is the conversion of Bolivars to one US dollar.
“A chicken in every pot” has been the socialist promise since FDR ran against Herbert Hoover. It’s hard to fulfill that promise when a chicken costs 14,600,000 Bolivars. That’s fourteen million, six hundred thousand Bolivars. Just say that out loud to let it sink in. Or you can just look at it.

When you have to be a multi-billionaire to buy a chicken, the grocery store shelves are empty.
The suffering of the Venezuelan people is not a secret.
The majority of the country lives in grinding poverty, starving, malnourished, and just trying to avoid being beaten or shot by government thugs.
The failing support for Maduro is a good thing.
Except for the radical Left in the United States.
Ben Norton is a Leftist journalist in the United States. He is calling on Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to fight Trump and back Maduro with the power of her army of millions of social media followers.
Congressman from California, Ro Khanna is backing Maduro and Venezuelan Socialism… to own Trump?
I cannot give these people the benefit of the doubt that they are just ignorant of what is going on in Venezuela.
They know. Of course they know.
They want it to happen down there and they want it to happen here.
They believe that they will be the ones eating imported food while they use their power to make anybody who has ever thought about voting for Trump starves.
Palo Alto, Manhattan, and the Bronx will eat while Alabama, Kentucky, and everywhere else in flyover country starves.
That’s the way it worked in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cuba, and now Venezuela. The well connected and politically favored get the goods and the rest of the people get famine.
This is the future the new wave to Democrats, led by Alex from the Block and Congressman-dot-com, want.
