Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Just a point of order for the journalists out there who think they are so smart:
There is no such thing as a “global epidemic”
Epi- from the Greek meaning “at.” Epidemic is a disease outbreak localized to an area.
Pan- from the Greek meaning “all.” Pandemic is an outbreak everywhere.
A “global epidemic” is an oxymoron, and using it makes a talking head look like a moron.
Reading J. Kb.s post I started laughing at this:
Have sex with people close to you.
• You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex
“Don’t knock masturbation. It’s sex with someone you love.”
Woody Allen way back in the 1960s.
But no, it was not Allen’s quote but the 12-year-old in me developed the mental image of somebody going to the urologist:
“Doc, I am worried, there is something wrong with my penis.”
“OK, drop trou…whoa! Your dick is sneezing.”
“I know! and coughs too!”
“Did you rub one off without washing your hands?”
“Er.. maybe.”
“Well that’s it, you dick has the Chinese Virus.”
Thank you. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.
The data regarding the Wuhan Virus you are currently getting is corrupted. Badly.
It’s corrupted because we had to develop a test for this thing, the numbers of tests are still kind of limited, and because of that we’re only testing sick people. We’re not testing the mild cases that just drive on, and we’re damned well not testing the asymptomatic cases.
It’s also corrupted because — let’s face it: Anybody who trusts any information from the Chinese Government, or any socialist government for that matter, should have their Licence To Adult taken away.
When even LawDog is saying to chill the hell out. Go read him.
The Left in America absolutely wants to destroy the American economy to get at Trump.
Absolutely. Without a doubt.
They have the hashtag #NotDying4WallStreet trending.
They are stating that ending the 15-day quasi-quarantine and getting back to work is going to kill millions of Americans and only benefit Wall Street.
As President Donald Trump and business elites suggest the U.S. public should go back to work in the midst of the worsening coronavirus pandemic, the Twitter hashtag #NotDying4WallStreet went viral late Monday as progressives made clear they are not willing to jeopardize their own or their community’s health to protect corporate profits.
“If we have to rent strike, general strike, whatever has to happen, we will not die for oligarchs’ quarterly profit margin,” tweeted progressive radio host Benjamin Dixon. “This system crashes without our participation. But they cannot force us to participate at the expense of our lives.”
I think this needs to be expressly said:
Do NOT follow the instructions of the government.
Do NOT return to work even if you don’t feel sick.
Do NOT end social distancing even if you can’t stand it anymore.
Do NOT die on behalf of capitalism.
F-That. F-Them. Kiss our ass

This pandemic will determine decide what kind of society we are & how we view elderly, poor and #disabled people & people of color. We will NOT sacrifice our lives so greedy rich ghouls can keep their pockets full. We are worth more than that. Hell, I’m #NotDying4WallStreet.

Why is it so hard to understand that our economy is us and we are the economy? If you think 1% of the country dying is going to be good for your portfolio, first of all you're a sociopath, but also you're in for a world of hurt when society breaks down.
I'm #NotDying4WallStreet.

The Stock market is exploding today as Trump makes it clear to them that he will sacrifice American lives so that they can make more of a profit. This one of the most callous comments I've ever seen from Trump. But he only cares about stock prices #NotDying4WallStreet

That’s about enough of that.
I’ve been out of work for three-and-a-half months. Do these people have any idea how hard it is to find a job while the economy is shut down?
I’ve burned through half my savings and am working on maxing out my credit cards.
Do you know what a single $1,200 deposit from the government will do for me after losing a near six-figure engineering job?
Fuck all is the answer. Fuck all. That is less than one mortgage payment.
I need a job. I need companies to kick back on and start hiring again.
This feels like a moment for Federalism to make its way back into popularity. Maybe New York or Seattle can keep locked down until June, but Madison County has had all of 21 Coronavirus cases. We’re not exactly a hot spot.
As soon as this lockdown can end the better.
This isn’t a matter of sacrificing lives for Wall Street. This is a matter of people like me who are out of work being able to go back to work and make an actual income and not just try and eek by on a $1,200 tax refund and $224 a week in unemployment benefits.
These privileged fucks can try and totally obliterate the American economy with Socialist talking points to get Trump because they won’t’ suffer because they are worth millions.
For working Americans who are not bankrolled by political think tanks and media organizations, we’re going to get absolutely screwed if we’re forced to say home until June.
This is a real pamphlet put out by the New York City government about how to have safe sex during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Really.
Really.
Have sex with people close to you.
• You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex.
But it will make God angry and you go blind. Also, definitely wash your hands after that.
• The next safest partner is someone you live with. Having close contact — including sex — with only a small circle of people helps prevent spreading COVID-19.
Sex with “a small circle of people.” Western civilization used to value monogamy. Now, during a time of outbreak, we have to remind people not to take in every dick they meet.
• You should avoid close contact — including sex — with anyone outside your household. If you do have sex with others, have as few partners as possible.
Sex with just one person you love and are in a relationship with? What is this, Amishland?
• If you usually meet your sex partners online or make a living by having sex, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Video dates, sexting or chat rooms may be options for you.
If you make your living by having sex with strangers, call NYPD Vice and turn yourself in.
• Kissing can easily pass COVID-19. Avoid kissing anyone who is not part of your small circle of close contacts.
• Rimming (mouth on anus) might spread COVID-19. Virus in feces may enter your mouth.
What the fuck is wrong with people? If you are letting feces enter your mouth during a sexual interlude than COVID-19 is probably the least of your concerns. This is how you test positive for hepatitis.
Also, let’s go back one bullet point. Do the other people you kiss know that you also lick assholes. I’m sure that would be high up on my list of pre-date questions. “Before we take this any further, have you ever given a rim job?”
• Washing up before and after sex is more important than ever.
And mouthwash apparently. I’m not a medical doctor but if you are licking assholes you should probably brush your teeth with toilet bowl cleaner and gargle with bleach.
Are we sure that the Coronavirus outbreak in New York City is not a plague from God?
No wonder New Yorkers are fleeing the city for Florida or the Hamptons. They know what is coming next. After all this group sex and ass licking, I suspect fire and brimstone. Maybe the residents of the Big Apple turning to salt.
If the city government has to tell the city residents not to have asshole licking group sex during an outbreak and instead try and hold themselves over by staying home and rubbing one out to a video chat sex worker, maybe that is a city not worth saving.
From FOX 11 Los Angeles:
LA County Sheriff orders gun stores to close; adds 1,300 deputies to patrol
In a sit-down interview with FOX 11, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva declared gun stores as nonessential businesses that will be forced to close.
Sheriff Villanueva also said he’s adding 1,300 deputies to patrol, that he’s released 1,700 nonviolent inmates from county jails, and criticized how local politicians have handled the messaging behind the numerous stay-at-home orders.
That’s 1,300 deputies who can’t arrest any of those 1,700 inmates who just of a golden “get out of jail free” ticket courtesy of the ChiComs.
One clear message that Villanueva is sending, is on gun stores.
“We will be closing them, they are not an essential function,” Villanueva said. “I’m a supporter of the 2nd amendment, I’m a gun owner myself, but now you have the mixture of people that are not formerly gun owners and you have a lot more people at home and anytime you introduce a firearm in a home, from what I understand from CDC studies, it increases fourfold the chance that someone is gonna get shot.”
I’m calling bullshit on Villanueva being a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. He is a life long Democrat, born and raised in Chicago, and elected to be the Sheriff of Los Angeles County. He’s a gun owner because he has a badge and believes that makes him super special.
Also, the CDC study he cites is bullshit too.
San Diego County has also declared gun stores to be non-essential but has as of yet forced their closure.
From KPBS San Diego:
Gun Stores Remain Open Despite ‘Non-Essential’ Classification
Gun stores in San Diego County are seeing record sales during the coronavirus outbreak, but county officials say the stores should not be open under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order. They say gun stores are not included in the list of “essential businesses.”
“We consulted with our county counsel. It is not our belief that gun stores are essential businesses, and they should not be open in the county of San Diego,” said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher on Sunday.
The state system to sell guns and conduct background checks is still working. But enforcing the “essential business” order is up to local jurisdictions.
“If gun shops are not in compliance we would like to know about it and have the appropriate law enforcement agency make contact,” said San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox.
Fletcher said officials are looking for the public’s help in reporting non-essential businesses that are still open.
It is my suspicion that San Diego will start to force gun stores to close now that LA forced closures, probably with pressure from the state governor’s office.
The Left is currently arguing that gun stores are not essential businesses.
Case in point, Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich quoting from the Wall Street Journal.
The gun industry is lobbying to have gun stores categorized as "essential businesses" allowed to remain open during the nationwide coronavirus shutdowns.
A better idea: Shut down gun stores AND shut down all lobbyists. https://t.co/cerd30FPcX
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) March 24, 2020
It’s all the gun lobbies. Not the fact that the 2nd Amendment is a Constitutionally protected right and the idea of denying people that right by shutting down stores during a crisis is Constitutionally dubious.
Remember that the NRA sued New Orleans over the fact that the city government used Hurricane Katrina to violate citizens’ 2nd and 4th Amendment rights.
The fact that Democrat cities have taken the two-prong approach of announcing that they are not arresting people for a wide range of “non-violent” crimes and are letting some criminals go has frightened citizens into buying guns shows just how essential gun store are.
That said, I think there is a lesson to be learned here for any small gun shop.
Set aside one area of shelving for bleach, medical supplies, water, paper towels and toilet paper, and a few other emergency items. The declare yourself a convenience store since those are on the essential workforce list.

According to investigators, a guard at a Marriott hotel in Orlando was patrolling around 1:30 AM Thursday when he spotted a man “pushing a trash can toward his Honda van.” When the suspect reached the vehicle, he removed a bag from the can and placed it inside his auto.
Finding the man’s actions suspicious, the guard peaked through the van’s window and “noticed the bag was full of unused toilet paper rolls that belonged to the hotel.”
…
The bag, cops say, contained 66 rolls of toilet paper valued at 99 cents apiece.

Hernandezcinto, who initially provided cops with a fake name, was arrested for theft from a public lodging establishment, a felony. The Orlando resident was booked into the Orange County jail, from which he was released yesterday on $2500 bond.
Toilet Paper Bandit Caught In Act, Arrested On Felony Theft Charge, Cops Report
A lot of people do not understand how stern are the laws for the protection of lodging and hospitality in the State of Florida. Tourism is our oil, our main product an the industry takes no crap when it comes to its own defense. That guy steals the same amount of rolls from a Costco and he would probably have gone home with an appearance ticket. This idiot caught a felony charge for $66 which, if he is illegal, he can be expelled. And if he is a Resident, he could lose his visa.
Florida Hotels: Just don’t f*** with them.
