Assault Weapons and Large-capacity Magazines (SB 370 & HB 653).  Companion bills with several co-sponsors in both the Senate and the House. And yes, it is as awful as it can be and always is. The House bill still not scheduled for hearing in any committee but the Senate version was referred to the Judiciary and others.

Sale, Transfer, or Storage of Firearms (HB 167, SB 428 & SB 294).
Several things: It defines minor as anybody under 18 years of age for gun purposes. Tries to force guns must have lock mechanisms, mandates Gun Store to teach gun safety, All bills have been referred to committees.

Preemption of Firearms and Ammunition Regulation (SB 672 & HB 6033).
It repeals the State pre-emption in regulating firearms’ laws and allows to create an infernal patchwork of local regulations or downright banning. Senate bill already referred but not yet the House bill. (HB 6033 – 02/03/2021 1:42 PM  – Referred to Criminal Justice & Public Safety Subcommittee, Judiciary Committee, Criminal Justice & Public Safety Subcommittee. )

There are more bad bills, but so far they lack companions or seem to have very little support, unfortunately that is also the case for the Good gun bills with the exception of Safety of Religious Institutions.

If you are not contacting your legislators, you can complain later when they screw up, but not very loudly. You were the one supposed to inject a bit of spine into them. Do some work, check the bills and contact the members of the House Committees and the Senate Committees.

Wait. Were you expecting me to do all the work for you? Fat effing chance.

Acting Secretary Pekoske Directs TSA to Mitigate Spread of COVID-19 Through the Transportation System

You cannot make this up. Biden proposes to use a private retailer to distribute the COVID vaccine and it is all good.

But just  four days ago…

What DeSantis has been doing for a month now was bad because it is DeSantis. But when it is by PedoJoe, hey, he is doing things right!

Biden has mandated that transmen can play in women’s sports.

I’m not going to complain.

Instead I have a plan.

1. 1. Identify as non-binary
   2. Compete in women’s MMA
   3. Challenge Frankie Adams to a fight on social media
   4. Get GySgt Bobbie Draper to put my head in a leg lock
   5. Submit and enjoy

If representation is so damn important, when do we start putting shitposty rednecks who like oil and guns and tig ol biddies in cabinet positions? https://t.co/rh53NDvPbu

This is what I’m running for Congress on.

From Bloomberg News:

Ocasio-Cortez Reveals Past Sexual Assault, Faults GOP Over Riot

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez detailed the moment she feared for her life during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, disclosing that she’s the survivor of a past sexual assault to drive home her accusation that some Republicans have been dismissive of her trauma.

Invoking her past experiences, she criticized conservatives who downplay the threats to lawmakers and say that she and other Democrats should move on.

“These are the tactics of abusers,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I’m a survivor of sexual assault,” she added. “I haven’t told many people that in my life.”

One of the reasons she hesitated to “tell that story has to do with that trauma,” she said during an emotional Monday night appearance on Instagram Live. She did not provide details about the assault.

She said Cruz, a Texas Republican, and GOP Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri remain a “present danger“ for casting doubt on President Joe Biden‘s election, complaints that were echoed by rioters.

Ocasio-Cortez pointed to one specific moment during the attack when she thought she was going to die as she was barricaded in her office while the Capitol was being invaded. A man banged on her door asking where she was. He turned out to be Capitol Police officer, but she said “it didn’t feel right because he was looking at me with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.“

“Just the very uncertainty that you don’t know if that person is trying to protect you or not is deeply unsettling,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It’s that lack of trust that creates so much volatility and fear.”

Here is the situation in a nutshell.

AOC accused Senator Ted Cruz of trying to have her murdered.

She said she was scared of a Capitol police officer who came to rescue her from her office, and said that she thought he was in on the attack and was there to kill her because of the look on his face.

When Ted Cruz and others pushed back, saying not Cruz did not order a hit on her and Capitol police did not try to murder her, she responded by saying the denial of these allegations is what sexual abusers do and she would know this because she’s a sexual assault survivor.

She may be, and I feel bad if her sexual abuse happened. But the point of her bringing it up is to wear the armor of “believe all women.”  You cannot question the validity of her feelings because she’s a sexual abuse survivor.

This is a borderline Kafka-trap.  The denial of guilt is evident of guilt.

It’s how she can say the most outlandish things and not be criticized for them.

She is sky high on victim status, taking new hits by the hour.
