“As a mother of two young children in Florida, I fear for them every day. We do not need people without training or background checks carrying firearms in public. If permitless carry becomes law, arguments will turn into gun fights in our parks and grocery stores. The House took a dangerous step forward today. Floridians must step up and demand their elected officials in the Senate stop this bill.”
This was the excuse given when Concealed Carry was passed in Florida back in the 1980s and pretty much in every state after that when Shall Issue became the norm. Then again when Stand Your ground was enacted and the wails of gloom and doom were loud enough for the heavens to get earplugs.
And we all know none of the old predictions came to fruition and the same will happen to the new predictions. I am starting to believe they have the same writers as the people that want to “save us” from global warming who keep chanting “We only have 5 years to save the world!” every 5 years.
And Moms Demand could not be left behind:
“Governor DeSantis and House Republicans have chosen to make our beaches, restaurants, schools, grocery stores, parks, and everywhere else we go more vulnerable to gun violence, ” said Wendy Malloy, a volunteer with the Florida chapter of Moms Demand Action.
Mass shootings targeting LGBTQ spaces and a rise in anti-trans rhetoric have inspired some queer people to take up arms. New Hampshire Public Radio’s Todd Bookman joined the monthly gathering of a gun group that sees firearms as key to their own self-defense. And as you might imagine, the story does include the sound of gunfire.
Mass shootings targeting LGBT spaces are not on the rise. There is no evidence of disproportionate targeting of LGBT spaces.
The last two mass shootings of LGBT spaces were a nightclub targetd by an ISIS supporter who didn’t know it was a gay club and a gay club shooting by a non-binary queer insane person.
Not attacks by right-wing white supremacists.
BOOKMAN: Groups like Rainbow Reload exist around the country, often called pink pistol clubs. It’s a place for experts and the gun-curious to practice and improve their shooting, but this goes beyond hobby. There’s a practical goal here, to prepare and protect themselves.
SMITH: If the world is dangerous, then you have to be dangerous back. And that very much has pushed me into where I am now.
JAMIE: There’s been an uptick in hate crimes. There’s been an uptick in groups that have been protesting drag story times and drag shows. And it felt like I needed to learn how to protect myself.
GUARDIAN: I mean, if you go far enough left, you get your guns back.
On principle, I believe in the right of people to keep and bear arms.
On the other hand, these people are Antifa tankies. Rainbow Reload claims to be non-political but many of these people here associate with groups like the John Brown Gun Club and Socialist Rifle Association.
They are radical Leftist activists who have bought into a narrative of oppression.
This is something I have written about on this blog before.
There is absolutely zero evidence of targeted murders of transgender individuals.
Transgender people are not murdered disproportionately to their numbers, in fact their murder rate is below proportion.
The reality is most trans women who are killed are killed while engaged in criminal activity, namely prostitution.
Turns out that the vast majority of transgender people murdered were hookers who were killed by Johns who were mad that they ordered the taco and got the sausage and meatballs.
The rest were the victims of typical crimes, including robbery and domestic abuse.
But to listen to The Narrative, transgender people are the victims of Right-wing Christian white supremacists genocide.
Here is where things get dicey.
We have, for years, been told that Right-wing speech is violence.
It’s been proven that the Left believes that Left-wing violence is speech.
Under the reasons that these LGBT people claim to want guns is parents protesting against gay porn books in elementary schools and drag shows for children.
It’s a threat to them when we say “don’t sexualize kids in school.”
The Narrative has established that I am the threat that they feel they need to defend against because I don’t want my kid’s classroom to look like a Pride parade.
We’ve seen these Antifa protecting drag shows with guns.
So what happens when the shooting starts in a district with a prosecutor that is ideologically aligned with them?
When some commie tankie tranny yeets a mom angry about a drag story hour in a library?
Right-wing speech is violence, so is it a good shoot?
I support gun rights but I prefer my Leftist shock troops unarmed.

I should have spent some more time figuring out what this all means.
I am done giving advice about guns for free. If I give you detailed reasons why you should or should not get a particular first gun and then you do stupid shit on your own, at least I want some cash for my wasted time.
You don’t want to pay me? Go back to the TikTok or whatever Social Media influencer who gave you the bad idea in the first place.
BREAKING: The suspected attacker, Khadree Renfro, 32, was arrested tonight on Pennock Avenue by detectives from the Violent Crimes Division & the East Precinct’s Community Field Intelligence Team. Charges are forthcoming.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities are searching for a man accused of multiple attacks across Nashville in the past week.
Metro police say the man is suspected in four unprovoked, random beatings, the latest of which occurred Wednesday night at a laundromat in the 1500 block of Dickerson Pike.
…
The man is also believed to be the suspect in the March 16 attack on a 27-year-old man who was having car trouble on East Due West Avenue, the March 18 attack on a 32-year-old man outside Citgo in the 2700 block of Dickerson Pike and the March 19 attack on a 31-year-old man who was jogging on Lischey Avenue.
We had a Serial Attacker seemingly gong after random people (Or not randomly). By luck, I googled his name and found interesting records of him.
He committed the aggravated assault (anybody see a pattern?) in July, did not get arrested till November 1st and was back on the streets without even a wrist slap within the week. Agg Assault is a Class C felony with a mandator minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 6 in the best of cases or all the way to 15 years for nasty ones. Add to that fines up to $15,000 K and court costs.
This guy? Taxpayers paid for it all and he went free for whatever reason.
Four more people got bashed.
Always Carry. Keep your head in a swivel. Avoid stupid places as much as you can.
