I don’t know what Leftist deep Blue shithole city this happened I’m, but it really doesn’t matter.

It could be New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, they are all the same.

The police and City prosecutors are useless at curbing shoplifting.

If they weren’t, this piece of shit wouldn’t have had the impetus to go into a store and take handfuls of cigarettes off the store shelves.

The owner or manager had enough and did what needed to be done.

I don’t think a broom handle will make a permanent difference

I think we’re gonna see store owners start using axes  machetes, baseball bats, or hundreds to stop shoplifters.

Some piece of shit starts helping himself to hundreds of dollars in merchandise and a piece of shit is going to end up in an ER or on a slab.

If law enforcement won’t protect people  people will protect themselves harder.

Just a short one and a heads-up to the people of Illinois.

One of the things that is concerning about the ATF’s pistol brace + AR == SBR (Which the 5th Circuit has paused), is that if you have one, it is illegal without a tax stamp.

Put better, before you can acquire an SBR, you must get a tax stamp from the ATF. Since the ATF has decreed that a pistol brace on an AR-15 pistol makes it an SBR, you are now in possession of an SBR without a tax stamp.

Being in possession of an SBR without having that tax stamp is a felony. The ATF has kindly allowed you to document, in writing, that you are in possession of an SBR without having a tax stamp, and to request that they issue a tax stamp to you.

There is nothing that stops the ATF from turning around and prosecuting everybody that documented possession of an unregistered and untaxed SBR. I.e., turning you into a convicted felon.

Illinois has done similar with their semi-auto rifle ban. At the moment the governor signed the bill into law, the possession of one of those banned semi-auto rifles was a felony. The law says that if you register your semi-auto rifle, you can keep it and not be a felon.

Thus, you must document, in writing, that you are in possession of a banned semi-auto rifle to the state. The state can then decide to just register your semi-auto rifle, or they could decide to prosecute you for possessing an unregistered semi-auto rifle.

On the good news side of this, there is case law out of Washington State that addressed a similar issue. A bad guy was sent before the judge. The judge signed an order that made it illegal for him to possess firearms. The court then ordered him to turn over all the guns in his possession to the police.

He refused. Because the judge made it illegal for him to possess firearms, he would be incriminating himself if he were to turn those firearms over to the police.

Lots of gun nasty happening out there, but we keep making progress.

A few years ago, this song came across my play list.

I found myself listening to it multiple times, then listening to more of their songs.

Today I had to make a 2.5h trip to pick up my lady, I told Ms. Google to “Play Music” and one of their songs came through the rotation. Again, it was a good song, haunting.
