As a former federal agent, I carried a gun and two extra magazines every day — marked “for law enforcement use only.”

My mags held more than 10 rounds — the limit under federal law at the time.

That provision was part of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which expired in 2004. 1/

Because weapons of war do not belong on our streets.

A restored Assault Weapons Ban is an overdue, commonsense step to save American lives. 3/

She was a Postal Inspector who then became a CIA Officer.

Her statement was then backed up by a Marine Officer turned Congressman.

I carried guns in Iraq, and I know how to use them. I’ve also seen what they can do to a person.@RepSpanberger is 100% right — large magazines and assault weapons need to be banned from our streets.@SpeakerMcCarthy should put Democrats’ gun safety legislation up for a vote. https://t.co/c7KnUibfl5

These people love the idea of government agents outgunning civilians.

There is no evidence at all that magazine capacity bans have any effect on crime.

Even the idea that: “the bad guy can get bum-rushed when he reloads” us fallacious.

These people simply enjoy having privileges that ordinary citizens don’t have.

It’s no surprise that the people who exempted themselves from insider trading so they can make millions on a government salary like having guns and magazines that you cannot.

We’ve seen police hide in the Conductor’s Cab of an NYC subway car and watch the the window while a serial killer with an APB stabbed a passenger.

We watched how an entire Sheriff’s Department set up a perimeter around a school shooter rather than engage.

We watched how a few hundred cops stood around in a school hallway and listened to children scream rather than engage and active shooter.

Then we watched how a cop mag dumped in a golden retriever with a wagging tail that was running away from him, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, in front of a bunch of children.

The common thread is that all these officers wanted to go home safe at the end of their shift.

That’s it. Collect a paycheck and go home at clock-out time.

Fine, but there are a lot of jobs where that can be done. But nine of them are jobs that ostensibly protect and serve the community.

There us no Thin Blue Line.

There are just people with qualified immunity who want to go home safe at the end of their shift.

This is the new flag of American law enforcement.

Feast your eyes on this:

As a reminder:

The Wounded Knee Massacre began when a Lakota named Black Coyote refused to give up his rifle to the 7th Calvary because he had paid a lot of money for it.

The Lakota didn’t give up their guns to protect their children.

I wonder if Lakota Man’s opinion applies to Native American Lakota.

The Soviets knew that they couldn’t throw everyone who disagreed with them into a prison for treason.

A hero soldier who won medals or a popular apparatchik couldn’t easily be dismissed as a traitor.

So the Soviets had a method of dealing with these people who disagreed with the new edicts of the party.

They were crazy.  They were diagnosed with Sluggish Schizophrenia and institutionalized.

They were sent to mental hospitals instead of gulags, although those weren’t that different.

The overall message was that disagreement with the party was either treason or insanity.

The guy in the picture above bought a big truck.

I don’t know why, and I have no desire to speculate.

There are people in the comments who are saying “maybe he pulls a trailer or hauls lumber.”

Those are irrelevant. Cars are like guns in that I believe you should be able to buy what you want.

I have a Ram 2500 because I wanted it. I like it. It was my money and I spent it in something I enjoyed.

That’s enough justification in a free country.

For that reason, Emily here believes that I need therapy.

I disagree with her position and therefore I am mentally unbalanced.

Give her enough authority and she might even decide that I need to be institutionalized until I see the errors of my way.

These people are no different than the Soviets, they just don’t have enough power to do all.the things the Soviets did.

Lorain police officer under investigation following shooting of dog

A Lorain police officer is under investigation following a shooting July 2 of a dog at the corner of Eighth Street and Oberlin Avenue.

Three and a half-year-old Dixie, a Labrador retriever mix, escaped from the house and the family was trying to retrieve her as the officer was driving past.

Brittany Kaspirek, daughter of dog owner Tammie Kerns, said Dixie had gotten out and the officer called her toward him.

Kaspirek said that while the officer was about 25 feet away, he pulled out his gun and shot the dog once in the leg.

As she began trying to run away, the officer shot the dog three more times on the sidewalk, the woman said.

The dog died on the sidewalk.

There is body cam footage if you can stomach it.

He executed  yellow lab.

There is no justification for that.

Even if the first shot was plausibly justified, the last three were not.

I honestly hope karma makes him eat it in a traffic stop. No, I will not back down for that.

This is from a black music festival on the 4th of July.

Unity is dead.

It is impossible to live in a country you hate so much and feel constantly aggrieved by.

The Left wants a race war. There is no avoiding it.

There will be dark time ahead.

Somali teens in Minneapolis firing fireworks at police.

I honestly wonder how many of them were raised on stores of the time a father or uncle shot at Rangers during Operation Gothic Serpent.
