“Too much freedom! I can’t deal with it!”
Seriously, let people make their own choices and stop being a D-bag. And I am not the only one saying so.
I caught this in Bearing Arms penned by Tom Knighton :
What Is Really Hurting Pro-Gun Efforts In Florida? – Bearing Arms
And since I am no longer in Florida, my self-imposed restriction of speaking ill about people in the alleged same side of the fight is over, I am gonna share a bit my thoughts with you.
THOUGHT #1: Dear GOA, you haven’t done shit in Florida.
Sorry, Mr. Valdez, but you just started in the the Gunshine State* and although I appreciate the effort, the first thing you should do is to figure out how the legislature works. And I mean it both in the sense of dealing with the politicians and the actual rules and regulations plus how the bills and laws get take in and approved. It effing took me years to begin understand them and you started to attack a legislator because he was simply doing clean up on bills that were not going anywhere. Legal housekeeping is not “killing/sabotaging” gun rights in Florida. Just because you taken out expired milk does not mean you are against cows.
And for many Gun Owners, when we hear the words “No Compromise” we immediately cringe at the idea of achieving 90% advancement on a Pro Gun bill only to have it fucked up because we have Chest Thumpers loudly complain, insult and in some cases threaten Legislators because it is not that mythical 100% they want. Texas almost lost Open Carry because of No-Compromise morons like Kory Watkins. And let us not forget the collapse of Gun Rights in Colorado since the No Compromise idiocy of Dudley Brown and his No Compromise Collective of NAGR morons derailed the attempts to weaken the already established low capacity magazine law. To me, when a Gun Group screams those words, they do so to raise funds among the politically dumb.
THOUGH #2: Dear Florida Carry, you guys went lethargic and stupid.
Florida Carry began strong and I was a big supporter, but in my opinion, they went with the “easy picking” lawsuits against local governments for violations of Florida Law, some dumb court cases that were losers over and over again and ignored the work over the legislature. The last big discussion they had in social media that I saw about intervening in Tallahassee was actually about the color of the shirts they were going to wear. And then, to fuck things up even bigger, they went/supported the dumbest Open Carry demonstrations in recent history which produced a big fat zero ounce of support for the cause on anybody outside the gun rights movement and possibly lost a couple within. Florida prohibits Open Carry unless you are hunting, fishing or going to hunt and fish. And what did our geniuses do? Wear full fucking tactical gear to go fishing at local piers. I am talking modern sporting rifles and cammo and plate carriers and enough Molle shit to catch Moby Dick. One of the “wink-wink fishing trips” even had the blind stupidity of waving a Trump flag making sure even Democrats watching the show and that may have been supportive of Open Carry suddenly lost all taste for the flavor.
THOUGH #3: Florida Gun Owners, you entitled bunch of whiny bitches.
I was going to say voting Florida Gun Owners, but that would have been a lie. How else do you explain that Democrat Nikki Fried is in charge of the crown jewel of Florida Gun Rights: The Concealed Weapons License system? Florida Gun owner did not bother to fucking vote for the obvious shit because they are a bunch of misinformed assholes who believe themselves entitled to suck on the labor of others with even putting 5 minutes wort of efforts. I’d daresay that 90% of those “Muh Rights!” Chest Thumpers talking a big game in Social media aren’t even registered to vote and will have no problem giving you a dance and song of why they don’t do it because the system is rigged…well yeah, they convinced you NOT to vote and stay home eating pork rinds and drinking Cherry Coke with Bacardi. For fuck’s sake, this year I did not see ONE SINGLE FUCKING FLORIDIAN CITIZEN going to Tallahassee and speak in favor of pro-gun legislation, not one. And IRRC, there are at least some 30,000 Floridians with CWLs in Leon county and surrounding areas yet it seems no one could take one afternoon off from work or the rocking chair watching reruns of MASH to go attend a hearing.
And how about me? Well, I figure my failure resides on not being able to convince more people to intervene in the Legislative process, to contact and even visit the legislators, to make sure they know we exist and we vote, because that is why we were ignored. If we as a group give the perception we don’t give a shit about gun rights, why a politician should care anyway? They have other people, groups and lobbyists pressing on them and that is where their attention will go. The only reason we did not get shafted this and last year and got anti gun legislation shoved up our collective asses is in part because Moms Demands has collapsed and Giffords has not revved up to full power yet. But remember that there is no status quo, just pauses.
And you know what is truly shameful for the lot of us? That we were outworked and out lobbied by an 82 year old grandmother who has been doing more for Florida gun rights than any collection of fishing Chest Thumpers out there.
You can go ahead and hate her as much as you want because hating the NRA is the latest fad, but she is the only one visibly attending the Legislature and fighting for Gun Rights . God forbid we lose Marion Hammer because I predict within two years, Florida will become a May Issue state without State Pre-emption.
(*) GOA has not been visible in Florida, not proposed one single bill, nor pushed or sponsored anything till this year. I wish they had been in the state earlier to help improve gun rights with the same energy used to shit on legislators after the legislative year was done.
PS: My other failure was probably not losing my shit and telling this years ago rather than now. Maybe it would have shaken some people into consciousness, maybe not

Portland to cut trade, travel with Texas amid abortion law outrage https://t.co/UGq5br72wj pic.twitter.com/wk1YfYd0Vv
— New York Post (@nypost) September 7, 2021
But why? Why does Portland care about a Texas abortion law that doesn’t affect them?
Why does the Left lose its shit when Texas or Georgia passed their heartbeat bills?
Why is the Left so pro-abortion?
Because abortion fundamentally appeals to a specific Leftist principle.
As I have said before, it is a fundamental principle of the Left that utopia can be achieved if only all the right people are sent to camps and/or executed.
Hitler, Stalin Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Che, all had their lists of people that if they killed or worked to death in camps, society would somehow succeed.
You see this today with the talk about COVID.
The narrative is that the unvaccinated are Right-wing Trump supporters and plague spreaders, so if they get sick they should be denied medical care and left to die of neglect.
Abortion is no different.
To listen to the Left, motherhood is a fate worse than death. They exalted that actress who said her abortion allowed her to win an Academy Award.
The Left wants women to believe that the zenith in life if a prestigious, high six-figure, job in NYC, LA, or DC, living in a luxury apartment, surrounded by name brand shoes and purses, going out for cosmos and appletinis with the girls on weeknights.
The enemy of that lifestyle is a husband and child.
They’ve convinced women not to marry, but having a baby is still a roadblock to that lifestyle.
So in true Leftist fashion, the solution is death of the undesirable.
Kill your baby so you can go out for Hump Day drinks and buy Jimmy Choo shoes with the disposable income you have because you’re not spending it on diapers.
They focus on abortion because it’s an easier sell.
Mass slaughter of adults in camps by guards with guns is unpalatable for most Americans.
Mass slaughter in sterile medical centers under the color of health care is much easier.
Furthermore, the majority of Americans (60-70% by poll numbers) support some form of abortion, usually with a minimum standard of allowing it for rape, incest, severe genetic or congenital birth defects, or when pregnancy threatens the life of the mother.
(I fall into that category.)
The Left then moves the goalposts from that, the proverbial “safe, legal, and rare” to “on demand and without apology” in one step.
They want to normalize mass slaughter of the innocent for convenience.
If they can convince a nation that its fine to murder an unborn child so the mother doesn’t have to inconvenienced with a baby, they can convince a nation that it’s fine to dig mass graves and shoot people so they (the good people) don’t have to be inconvenienced by the other undesirables.
Pro-lifers shine a spotlight on the immorality of the death for convenience sales pitch of the Left which is why the Left hates pro-Lifers so much that they drive them out of society. Going so far as to issue a fatwa against and unperson anyone, like the CEO of a videogane company, for holding a pro-life position.
The Left fights for abortion because abortion is the easiest and lowest hanging fruit of Leftists desire for mass extermination to achieve utopia.
I am sad to say I was waiting for something like this to happen.
2010 Tennessee Code
Title 39 – Criminal Offenses

39-13-103. Reckless endangerment.(a) A person commits an offense who recklessly engages in conduct that places or may place another person in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
(b) Reckless endangerment is a Class A misdemeanor; however, reckless endangerment committed with a deadly weapon is a Class E felony.
So a kid is doing what kids that age do, specially if adults are not all over him. And you are going to sit there and tell us straight to our faces that all the kids at schools wear masks all the time? Bullshit they do. At best they may be having 60% compliance and pretend they did not see them unmasked.
I believe (I might be wrong) that this is just another example of a Teacher’s Union playing power politics just because the Governor happens to be Republican and they want to flex their power.
Jimmy Hoffa would be proud at their level of organization and corruption: “Do we need to fuck up a six-year-old’s life to demonstrate out power? Do it. “
And they will do so with a smile and joy in their souls.
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – Vanderbilt Health released new COVID-19 data Tuesday illustrating the stark contrast in hospitalizations between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
The report says as of Saturday, 218 people have been hospitalized at Vanderbilt, with 190 of those reportedly unvaccinated.
The report adds that of the 53 people in the ICU, 49 were unvaccinated. All 17 of the people listed on ventilators were also unvaccinated. The majority of vaccinated individuals hospitalized at Vanderbilt reportedly had underlying immune system compromises.
Same city:
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – Metro Council members are discussing reimplementing a city-wide indoor mask mandate during their meeting Tuesday night, as cases of COVID-19 continue to climb in Middle Tennessee.
Please tell me it is not the Covid Theater of Horror.
Again, my recommendation, specially if you have comorbidities, overall shitty health and will be congregating with crowds is to get the shot. And yes, God Bless it is your right not to do so and I will support you.
And for the political clowns: Stop with the BS. we are damned tired of your petty efforts to remain dictatorial.
Stop with the mandates.
Here is a reporter in Australia ratting out Jews for celebrating Rosh Hashanah in Australia.
Still no movement on worshippers inside the Ripponlea synagogue where up to 100 are believed to be marking Jewish New Year in what appears to be a breach of COVID-19 restrictions, but there are dozens of people now singing in the alley near it @theage pic.twitter.com/yvxVmtx0AD

We saw the same thing in New York and other places. The Jews try to celebrate High Holidays or mourn their dead during a pandemic and Leftists have to single them out.
The impetus for totalitarianism as a response to an emergency and Jew hatred is so deeply ingrained in the Left, they are inseparable.
