Daniel Defense posted on Facebook their support for the Fix NICS Act.

Dear Friends,

I need your help. I believe the Fix NICS Act (S. 2135), sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), is presently the only common sense approach to keeping firearms out of the hands of the wrong people. This bipartisan bill, which aims to keep firearms from being sold to criminals and other dangerous people, was introduced by U.S. Senator John Cornyn of Texas. All provisions of this bill have already been voted on and passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. While the bill has enough votes to pass the Senate, we must put pressure on our representatives until the President puts pen to paper.

Our Senators, by passing the Fix NICS Act, can take logical steps TODAY to improve background checks through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). By doing so, states would not only be required to, but would be held accountable for not complying with new reporting procedures which would ensure background checks are complete and reliable. The Fix NICS Act would:

• Mandate federal agencies to report criminal convictions to the 
Attorney General
• Require reporting of select mental health records that prohibit the 
purchase of firearms (Fix NICS only seeks to require mental health 
records that fit current federal categories)
• Hold states and federal agencies accountable for failing to upload 
records

The Fix NICS Act is supported by the NRA and NSSF.  The purpose of it is very clear, to make it mandatory for goverment agencies to report prohibited persons to NCIS.

There are three mass shootings in recent history that the shooters bought guns because they were not reported to NCIS.

Devin Patrick Kelley, the Southerland Springs church shooter, was court martialed out of the Air Force for domestic violence but the Air Force never reported it.

Jared Lee Loughner, the Tuscon shooter, should have been prohibited but it wasn’t reported to NCIS.

Same with Seung-Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech shooter.

Fix NICS is the ONLY bill I’ve seen so far that actually might prevent another shooting and does not punish law abiding citizens.

Unfortunately, some really extreme gun owners decided that Daniel Defense’s support of the NRA/NSSF backed bill was tantamount to S&W deal with the Clinton Administration.

@DanielDefense I was very disappointed 2 learn that DD supports the Fix NICS legislation. While I respect ur right 2 support whatever u want, I find it troubling u would support this anti 2A crap. Sadly I will look for another brand when purchasing my next AR. @RepThomasMassie

@DanielDefense what rights are you guys gonna try to take away from law abiding citizens today? #turncoats

So what’s it like knowing you killed yours business with a single post ? I will never by a DD product again. You and those traitors called the @NRAILA have dug your own grave. To everyone else go join @GunOwners they won’t compromise or back down.

When you call the NRA-ILA traitors, you have gone off the deep end.

We as gun owners could back a bill that will actually work and not be a gun ban, and get some good press (as limited as that may be) for actually taking a stand for supporting keeping guns out of the hands of bad people.  But when you take a position like that, it only makes gun owners look worse.

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about proposed gun control laws and there are some wide areas in the law that I believe need to be addressed.

Readers of this blog should by now know that I am a supporter of gun rights and civil liberties.  I can’t believe that I feel like I have to say that, but I do.

Part of the problem with the Parkland shooting was that despite everything that we learned about Cruz, nothing he did made him a prohibited person.

Then there is the issue with military veterans and suicide.

I think there is huge problem with the fact that people are either prohibited persons, which is effectively permanent, or not.

I want a national temporary restraining order system for gun ownership.  Yes, I know that sounds like what California did, and I agree, the California system is easily abused.  But I have come to believe that a temporary ban on gun ownership is a good idea as long as a persons civil rights were protected.

First of all, any temporary ban must come through a hearing.  The person should have the right to defend themselves before a judge, with counsel.

The temporary ban should have a built in expiration date.  If the petitioner doesn’t repetition, it automatically defaults back to the person having their full rights.  Also, there would have to be a limit on the length and number of repetitions allowed.  This needs to be in line with the legal concept of Habeas Corpus.

I don’t like the idea that a single civilian can petition a judge.  I see that as way for angry ex-wives and pissed off college kids to get revenge.  It needs to come from a law enforcement agency or licensed mental health professional.

Guns taken by law enforcement must be returned at the end of the temporary ban.  If they are not, compensation is required to be performed by the agency.  No “oops, your nice Wilson Combat grew legs and walked out of the storage locker into the Chief’s house, you’re screwed now.”

There are two reasons I think this is a good idea:

One:  Parkland.  Imagine a person gets the police called on them several (45) times over the course of a few months.  Minor things like screaming fights with the neighbors and kicking dogs.  None of them is enough to make that person prohibited, but taken together, it is evidence that there is an escalating violent streak.

The police could petition a judge and say”

“We’ve been to this guy’s house to break up fights and deal with threats a dozen times.  He’s causing a lot of problems in the neighborhood, but hasn’t hurt anybody yet.  Can we take his guns, investigate him, and have him sent to a mental health facility for evaluation?  Give us a 60 day restraining order.”

If the investigation leads nowhere, the guy gets his rights back in 60 days.  Maybe he needs court ordered anger management.  He can have his gun rights suspended for the length of the treatment then get his rights back.

Two: Veteran suicides.  PTSD is troubling, but it is curable.  I don’t want to take away a veteran’s rights.  I also don’t want a veteran to kill himself either.  Allow a mental health professional to petition to suspend this person’s gun rights for the time he is bottoming out emotionally.  Once he is better, his rights are automatically restored.

The problem right now is a person is either fully legal or permanently prohibited.  That makes it tough to prevent a shooting or a suicide as the bar to becoming a prohibited person is high (for a reason, which is good) or some mental illnesses are curable and the person shouldn’t lose their rights forever for a temporary crisis.

A prohibited person can have their rights restored but the onus is on them.

A temporary system, that has a lower bar for restriction on gun ownership, but automatically restores rights would fill that gap.

Yes, I understand such a bill would have to be written VERY carefully and VERY specifically.  At every turn it would need to default back to full civil liberties to prevent it from becoming a short cut to prohibition.  Yes, I know the Left with try to add a bunch of bullshit to it.

I think this would be very useful to fill the gap in the law right now and might actually help prevent further mass shootings.

This week has really been a God awful, shitty week for Jews vis a vis the Democrats.

At the end of February, Louis Farrakhan (yimakh shemo) delivered a viciously Antisemitic speech.  He called the Jews “satanic” and blamed us for pretty much everything bad.

His Antisemitism is nothing new.  Jake Tapper (much to his credit) made the contents of this speech public.  He also called out the Democrats and high profile activists on the Left who have palled around with Farrakhan and didn’t denounce it.

at 3;49: “White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan …has pulled the cover off the eyes of that Satanic Jew and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through." https://t.co/WE5ys7It8R

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 28, 2018

This is who Farrakhan is. It's why folks are legitimately so offended when they found out that then-Sen. Obama and members of the CBC met with him in 2005. https://t.co/QdGpWuGdZ6

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 28, 2018

Here is video of him going to town on this on his show.

As it turns out, one of the Co-Presidents of the Women’s March, Tamika Mallory, was there at that speech.

This is bad for the Women’s March.  Co-Founder Linda Sarsour is a well known Antisemite and now the Co-President was caught attending the Farrakhan hate rally.

At this point, the Women’s March might as well start having their meetings in a hotel in Wannsee, Berlin.

That is not the big news.

The big news is just how badly the media ignored or spun this.

Why Is Louis Farrakhan back in the news? https://t.co/6zTzXRveIr

— The New York Times (@nytimes) March 9, 2018

Maybe because Barack Obama and most of the Congressional Black Caucus met with him in a secret meeting that was suppressed by the media in 2005 and now people want to know why someone who sounds like Black Hitler is so influential on the Left?

Maybe because the Women’s March weaseled out of an apology for meeting with this piece of shit in a bowtie.

Anti-Semitism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism and white supremacy are and always will be indefensible.

Maybe because Yahoo news framed Tamika Mallory as the victim.

Tamika Mallory of the Women's March is a fan of Louis Farrakhan and people are outraged https://t.co/T5gxGPyKAb by @BethEveNYC pic.twitter.com/hsvxT3zfSm

Maybe because Oliver Willis thinks that this “controversy” is bullshit.

But wait, it gets worse.

Congressman Danny Davis, the Democrat from Illinois 7th District, doubled down on his friendship with Farrakhan and didn’t worry about the “Jewish question.”  Because a Democrat Representative sounding like Hitler isn’t cause for concern at all.

Spoke on the phone with @RepDannyDavis today — Davis confirmed he's buddies with Farrakhan, said he wants people to get over the whole anti-Semitism thing: "The world is so much bigger than Farrakhan and the Jewish question and his position on that and so forth" — Story to come

— Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) March 4, 2018

Congressman Andre Carson, the Democrat from Indiana’s 7th District, was questioned about Farrakhan by Jewish Republicans.  Rather than condemn Farrakhan, he demanded that the Jewish Republicans condemn Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu.  Only in the mind of a raging Antisemite is Netanyahu worse than Farrakhan and everything is Israel’s fault.

But were still not done yet.

Ammar Campa-Najjar is running for Congress against Republican Duncan Hunter in California and received the Democrat nomination and endorsement.  So what?

Campa-Najjar’s grandfather was Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar, a mastermind of the terrorist murder of 11 Israeli Olympic athletes and coaches at the 1972 Games in Germany. Al-Najjar was assassinated a year later by Israeli commandos.

Fuck me sideways.  This makes him a fucking hero to the Left.

The media had to get the great-great grandchildren of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis to condemn the statues of their ancestors, but the grandson of an Israeli murdering terrorist gets a ringing endorsement.

In the last week, the Democrats and their PACs have fallen over themselves to demonstrate their level of Jew hatred.

THIS is why I am an angry, gun owning Jew.  Between support for Farrakhan and Antifa,  the Democrats are morphing into the Waffen SS.

Karen Mallard is a teacher running for Congress in the Second District of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

She announced her candidacy by making a Facebook post where she cuts up her husband’s AR-15* because of Parkland.

*She must of cut her husband’s balls off previously, because this is grounds for instant divorce for just about every gun owner I know.  

Anybody who knows anything about gun laws recognizes that she made an SBR on Facebook.

Well, announcing your candidacy to the Congress of the United States by publicly violating the National Firearms Act of 1934 is a great way to get the attention of Liberal idiots and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

ATF investigating after congressional candidate cut apart AR-15

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) — The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating congressional candidate Karen Mallard after she posted a video on Facebook that shows her cutting apart an AR-15 rifle.

She goes on to explain that she wasn’t happy when her husband bought the AR-15 “a while back.” Mallard adds that after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on February 14, and the renewed outcries for stricter gun control that followed, she and her husband agreed they didn’t want the AR-15 in their home.

The couple later decided they didn’t want it in anyone else’s house, either.

“So, today, we’re going to destroy it,” Mallard state in the video before taking a handheld power saw to the rifle.

Here’s the best part:

Mallard said she followed legal procedure, writing in her Facebook post:

And yes for all the NRA trolls out there, I finished the job according to regulation and turned it over to the police. Why are you more outraged about me taking a gun out of circulation than about our children being murdered in our schools?

Yes, all those NRA trolls who happen to know the law far better than a woman who wants to be a legislator.  Now that “racist” and “bigot” have lost their punch with the Left, “trolls” seems to be the new favorite ad hominem for dismissing arguments.

What they are outraged about is someone who doesn’t know current gun laws wanting to make up new ones.  Especially while she is violating one of the oldest federal gun laws in effect.

Also, there is no “finished the job according to regulation” if the barrel is cut off 10 seconds before the lower receiver, it’s still a felony.

Master Police Officer Tonya Pierce, spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Police Department, confirmed that the rifle was in the department’s possession. Pierce told 13News Now the ATF was looking into the situation.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

I hope the ATF nails her to the wall and leaves her there.  It’s about God damn time that one of these Lefty assholes who breaks the law in an anti-gun publicity stunt feels the wrath of the law.

I just can’t wait to see her opponent’s campaign ads.

I have seen far too many calls to declare the NRA a terrorist organization and its members terrorists. I have seen too many public opinions demanding that the NRA and its spokespeople be silenced and denied the right to broadcast their opinions.  I have seen too many Facebook posts and Tweets calling for the criminalization, mass incarceration, and even murder or execution of NRA members or law abiding gun owners.

Let me make this clear.  If you believe that you need to silence, imprison, or murder large numbers of fellow citizens to achieve your goals, your beliefs are wrong.  Your Utopian vision is garbage if it is built on the mass graves of dissenters.

When your definition of a political victory is the stripping of rights from other people, your position is evil.

Whether it is push back against the election of Donald Trump or the push to impose new heavy anti-gun laws, I am convinced that this is the ultimate fantasy of the Progressive Left.

It’s been said before that “the Second Amendment protects the First.”

I’d agree with that statement.  But I believe that the Second Amendment and the first Amendment have an even closer tie than that.

One of the great Supreme Court decisions of the 20th Century was National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie.  The Nazis wanted to march in Skokie because it had the highest per capita percentage of holocaust survivors of any city in America.  The Village of Skokie denied the Nazis a permit to march.  The Supreme Court eventually decided that the Nazis had the right to free speech and to march in the public square.  Simply espousing their ideas was not enough of a threat to the public to justify denying them their civil rights.

What fell out of that decision was the idea that the First Amendment exists to protect unpopular speech.  Speech that is popular, that is not inflammatory or controversial needs no protection as no one is (generally) trying to silence it.  Unpopular speech, statements that are offensive or controversial, need to be protected because it is princely those words that people try to ban.

This idea is paramount in classical liberalism – the belief in individual liberty.  It has been referenced many times, to protect the rights of bakers who don’t want to bake cakes for gay weddings, to protect Milo Yiannopoulos’ right to speak on a college campus,  to protect the rights of anybody to say controversial speech.

Hate speech is free speech.

I would argue that the same idea applies to the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment exists to protect unpopular guns.  It is the duty of the Second Amendment to protect the guns that politicians hate.   When a politician says he or she is not going to take away your deer rifle or duck gun, then those guns don’t need Second Amendment protection.  It is AR-15’s, handguns, and every sort of controversial weapon that the Second Amendment exists to protect, because they need protection.

When a pundit says the AR-15’s are not protected by the Second Amendment, he is arguing that hate speech is not protected by the First.

Left Wing lower courts have said that the AR-15 is not protected by the Second Amendment and they are wrong.  These are also the same courts that forced a baker to bake a cake against his will.

This is completely clear in the popular culture.  It is exactly the same culture and group of people who shut down Christina Hoff Sommers’ speech at Lewis & Clark Law School, shut down Ben Shapiro at Berkeley, who burned Berkeley over Milo Yiannopoulos, and have deplatformed conservative speakers.

Not to equate Sommers, Shapiro, or even Yiannopoulos with actual Nazis, but these Progressives think they are.

It’s not just the First Amendment but the Second and all the rest of the Amendments that exist to protect what is unpopular, precisely because what is unpopular is what needs protection.

The more a type of gun is maligned, the more the Second Amendment applies to it.  Without that, this nation devolves into mob rule.

Part of the new Florida gun bill is a three day waiting period for all gun sales.

When I lived in Illinois, they had a 24 hour waiting period on long guns and a 72 hour waiting period on handguns.  A number of states have waiting periods, California and Hawaii have the longest at 10 and 14 days, respectively.

Anti gun groups have been pushing hard for waiting periods since Parkland.

Here is some food for thought.

The San Bernardino shooters started taking about committing an attack as far back as 2013.  The guns were purchased in 2011 and 2012.

The Pulse Nightclub shooter started planning his attack almost two years before his act of terrorism.

The Ft. Hood shooter started communicating with radical Islamic leaders months before the attack.  He bought his Five-seveN pistol in July and the shooting was in November.

The Las Vegas shooting was “meticulously planned” over an extended period of time.

The Virgina Tech shooter bought his Glock and Walther weeks before his shooting.

The FBI was warned that the Parkland shooter wanted to be a “profession school shooter” five months before the shooting took place.

The point is, in most, if not every mass shooting that has become a media circus and part of our collective conscience, the shooting was planned weeks, months, even years in advance.

None of these shooters “snapped” and bought a gun to go on a rampage.

Just how much effect will a three day waiting period have on a shooter that is planning an attack for the previous five months?  None at all.

Of all the worthless policies to implement to try and prevent a mass shooting, a waiting period is the one that most creates a false sense of security.

Not just do these politicians not know anything about guns, they don’t know anything about the behaviors of mass shooters either.

The Gunshine State 1987-2018

Because of a total failure of law enforcement and government services, 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were murdered.  The after effect was to strip the civil liberties from millions of law abiding Floridians who killed no one and committed no crimes.  All because of a cultural movement that hated innocent gun owners more than than the person who committed the shooting or the government agents that were derelict in their duty.

The Florida legislature should at least be honest and change the state motto to: Some pigs are more equal than others.
