On Wednesday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) argued that handguns “are not for hunting. They’re not for protection. I think handguns are, frankly, for killing people. We need to do something about making sure that bad guys don’t get their hands on handguns.”

Dem Rep. Sylvia Garcia: Handguns Are ‘For Killing People’ and Not Protection or Hunting (breitbart.com)

What was she being interviewed about? The Buffalo Mass Killing in where the asshole Payton S. Gendron used an AR 15.

How she got to handguns is beyond me unless she simply cannot differentiate between an AR and a pistol which would not surprise me.

Road rage in Florida. Guy pulls a knife and uses deadly force (badly). Intended victim pulls out a gun and Rager suddenly decides it is time to retreat but does not do it smartly: He calls the 911 and say he was attacked.
Not smart when there is video being recorded.

And I agree with mny of the people commenting on this video at different locations: Dumb ass was lucky he did not get shot.

And check the price of ammo at the bottom of the ad.

Paul and Susan Lathrop of the Polite Society Podcast drove by my neighborhood, and we met to put some round downrange at the Outpost Armory.

It is always fun to shoot with equally minded people.  And I realized that my wife is shorter than a Barret 50 Cal.

But she is deadlier.

I missed the chance to see him in a concert and I always regretted it. Thank you for the music.

So I see that “192 Republicans” is trending because 192 Republicans voted against the HR 7790 bill for supplemental funding for the FDA.

Twitter, which is still a Leftist disinformation site, is full of tweets saying the “Republicans voted against funding baby formula.”

CNN had an article which says this:

One of the bills passed by the House Wednesday evening — HR 7790 — would provide $28 million in emergency funding for the US Food and Drug Administration in an effort to help alleviate the current shortfall and head off future shortages. The bill was approved by a tally of 231 to 192.
The emergency funding would be used to increase the number of FDA inspection staff, provide resources for personnel working on formula issues, help the agency stop fraudulent baby formula from entering the US marketplace, and improve data collection on the formula market, according to a release from the House Appropriations Committee.

“This bill is the first step to help restock shelves and end this shortage,” House Appropriations Chair Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat who introduced the legislation, said in a statement.
“Parents and caretakers across the country cannot wait — they need our support now. This bill takes important steps to restore supply in a safe and secure manner. Additionally, with these funds, FDA will be able to help to prevent this issue from occurring again,” she said.

I read the bill.

It provides $28 million to hire people to be inspection staff.

The money is for FDA salaries.

Tell me how this solves the problem of the formula shortage now.

They have to hire people, train them, put they through a probationary period, etc.

This money today might have more inspectors out in a year.

All the FDA has to do is let Abbott turn their factory back on since they didn’t find the contamination in the factory.

But that doesn’t justify new bureaucracy appropriations.

Not one dollar of this funding buys quality overseas formula from Europe.

Not one dollar goes to helping parents afford formula.

It’s salaries for bureaucrats that won’t start doing a job for a year.

This is a shakedown using a crisis as a cover.

The real shame is the 12 Republicans who voted for it, not the 192 who voted against it.

This is bullshit.
