When the truth may hurt your propaganda…

… you question the motives behind requesting the truth.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee’s House and Senate leaders have a unique request before they would like to meet for a special session on public safety.

They would like for the FBI or the Metro Nashville Police Department to release the manifesto of The Covenant School shooter. Details of this manner weren’t requested before any type of gun legislation for Nashville’s other two mass shootings inside a Waffle House or an Antioch church.

The problem with this slanted article is that as far as anybody knows, the shooter on both cases had no manifesto to share. Asshole Audrey Hale did write what police initially identified as a manifesto, but then after the “sexual identity” came to be part of the stuff coming out, the writings and all the info collected from “Twenty journals, five laptops, a suicide note and various other notes written by Hale were seized from the house she shared with her parents as well as two memoirs, five Covenant School yearbooks and seven cellphones, according to a search warrant.” are deemed to be too dangerous to share with you, the dumb ignorant public because, as one Nashville Council member stated : “the document in the wrong person’s hands would be astronomically dangerous.”

My guess the real meaning it would be politically dangerous. And if the Republicans are asking for it, it may mean it does not bode well for Liberals.

Conserving Your Resources: You are not the People’s Supply Room.

After all these many years, I am still amazed that people will not carry or have access to items they will or may need, specially at the workplace. And this is beyond weaponry, but simple stuff like a pen or a piece of paper to write something down.

The problem for us begins when out of the stupid kindness of our hearts, we help somebody with a small item like a band aid. Do you think the person needing the band aid would think “Hey, he was ready and had one, that is a great idea. Maybe I should have a band aid with me or nearby. Yes, I will do that.”? Chances are that the next time they need a band aid or somebody near them needs one, they will come to you because you are known to have it.

Same goes for tooling and I am including blades in this. How many times boxes or envelopes need to be opened and it is time to see the monkey-fucking-football comedy sketch of people trying to slice through packing tape with dull scissors or even fingernails? Tightening a small screw? If you solve their problem, they will not learn and be prepared for next time, but you will be their unpreparedness 7-11 where they can go to get something open or repaired. And the problem goes double if your workplace has a “No Weapons” policy because if you happen to get an enemy, they will be happy to snitch on you to HR.

So, be selfish and let them ruin their manicure and bleed all over. Keep your stuff for yourself the same way you carry a tourniquet in case you are gravely wounded in an extremity.

PS: On the tool side of things, one of my solutions is The Swiss Army Card that hides pretty in my wallet and has enough tooling to get some menial jobs done and remaining almost unseen for almost everybody.

Another case where CCW is appropriate for pit bulls

Pit bull mauls Portland runner outside vacant lot. She asks: Is Portland safe?

Cheryl Wakerhauser was out on her regular morning run Monday when a dog suddenly sprung from a fenced-off vacant lot along Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard and pushed her to the ground.

The brown pit bull viciously bit into her legs, right arm and back, leaving her with more than 35 puncture wounds.

The next day, after spending five hours in a hospital emergency department, she posted a photo on social media of her bloodied arm riddled with deep, jagged wounds and lambasted the city for not keeping people safe.

The short answer is: no, Portland isn’t safe, but not specifically because of pit bulls.

The reality is that it’s not within the city’s abiloty to keep people safe from loose dogs owned by homeless vagrants.

Yes, the city should do something about the vagrants, but they can’t be everywhere all the time.

You are your first and last line of defense.

Pit bulls are dangerous and a loose one can rip off limbs or even kill.

Carry everwhere and be prepared to shoot a pit bull.

Oregon is in league with Satan

‘Drag mom’ who mentored 11-year-old child drag queen at Satan-themed Oregon pub is sentenced to less than one year in prison for 11 felony child sex crimes

A ‘drag mom’ and former elementary school teacher has been sentenced to less than a year in prison after being convicted of felony child abuse crimes.

Kelsey Meta Boren, 31, pleaded guilty to 11 counts of encouraging child sexual abuse in the first degree last month.

She previously worked as a teacher for the Fern Ridge School District, in Oregon, but was suspended following the allegations coming to light last year.

Boren was sentenced to 330 days in jail at Lane County Circuit Court in March, which equates to 30 days for each charge.

Authorities say that she was arrested in August 2022 after officers carried out a search warrant at her home in Veneta.

Court documents reveal that they found evidence she had been uploading and exchanging child pornography on the internet on multiple occasions.

A freak and a pervert who traded in child porn and groomed a child into drag is serving less than one year in prison.

At this point I’m surprised he’s even going to prison.  I suspect it’s the minimum that he could be given to mollify the public.

Welcome to Oregon, where you can sexually molest and abuse children and get a slap on the wrist.

This is pure evil.

In contrast, Florida is doing God’s work and is about to start executing pedophiles.

If I have to choose sides, it going to be on the side of the angels who protect children, and not the worshipers of Baphomet who sexually abuse them.

 

Scott Hardin v. ATF, 20-6380 (6th Cir. 2023) bump stocks


B.L.U.F. Why the Sixth Circuit Court found that the bump stock ban is not constitutional.


This was not a Second Amendment challenge to the rule. Instead, it was an Article I, Section 1 challenge.

All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Constitution of the United States of America

The ATF is not a part of the Congress, but is instead a part of the Executive branch. The Executive branch is charged with enforcing laws, not in creating laws.

Given this challenge, Bruen plays no part in the decision except that it indicates that the Supreme Court is serious about Second Amendment protected rights.

The Question

Is the ATF’s interpretation of 18 U.S.C § 922(o)(1) which incorporates 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b) Constitutional?

§ 922 is the Gun Control Act. This is where it says it shall be unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machinegun.§922(o)(1). That definition of a machinegun is what is at issue:

The term “machinegun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.
26 U.S.C. §5845(b) NFA

Is it a machinegun?

Criminals search for Stupid People: The Gym Version.

And it seems we have a bumper crop of Stupid getting fit.

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro police are warning gymgoers to lock up their belongings after multiple reports of keys being taken from locker rooms and used to steal cars.

“People go to the gym, they’re focused on I’ve got to get my workout in, maybe it’s chest day, maybe I’m trying to get some cardio in,” West Precinct Investigations Lt. Keith McNamara explained. “But in the meantime, somebody else has other plans.”
West Precinct officers are working hard to catch at least four suspects after keys were taken from the Planet Fitness on Charlotte Pike last week and the Bellevue YMCA on April 13.

“What they’re doing is they’re taking keys, wallets and other valuables out of unsecured lockers and then they’ll take those keys out to the parking lot and steal the car while the patron is inside working out,” Lt. McNamara said.

Since I started going to the gym, I used the lockers maybe three times and always with a lock. I ended up designing a routine that did not involve the use of a locker because I found it to be a waste of time in my particular case. I carry all my stuff with me in a secured manner and nobody is the wiser. And I understand that some people may have to use the locker, but for Adonis’ sake, invest in a lock and only leave in there what you can afford to lose.

If you can lug around the stupid nalgene bottle in between stations and weights, you can carry your car keys and wallet.

Stalin with knockers

 

I guarantee that Tucker will end up with a podcast that has more subscribers that Joe Rogan and the only one who suffers financially from this is Fox News.

But the alacrity by which a government official celebrates the temporary loss of a platform by a mouthpiece she hates is terrifying.

Freedom of speech is fundamentally not a value she holds.

She is an authoritarian to the core.
