I have dear old Rick muted in Twitter since the option was available. I think he is the only non-spammer that has been muted and/or blocked by me.
Anyway, apparently I am never too far away from his thoughts; in fact it seems I live rent free in his cranial housing.

It is a legitimate question brought out because as intellectual as these idiots are purported to be, they are woefully ignorant of how the real world works. If a handful of barely armed and barely trained individuals in countries without any constitutional rights, had dedicated armies chasing after them could not be controlled, imagine only one million NRA members armed only with scoped bolt-action rifles and the capability to place a “boolit” without any effort at a man-sized target 500 yards away.

So, in honor of Rick shitting his delicate panties again, I give you the link to his favorite GFZ post of all times: “What I saw at the coup”. by Matthew Bracken

I asked a dear friend of mine who is a great shooter, IDPA competitor and a teacher for decades, how was it possible that there was such a resistance to arm their fellow practicing pedagogues * among Liberals. His answer was illuminating: “Because the dumb assholes don’t want to be armed!” or words to that effect.

And from what I have seen from other sources, it appears to be true. I have seen the testimony of teachers to the effect of they cannot manipulate a weapon safely, or aim or select a proper target or even to keep a sidearm holstered. It seems that somehow obtaining a teaching certificate affects something in the body, probably in the brain and makes them physically and mentally unable to properly handle a gun.

Now, the State of Florida prohibits anybody who has been adjudicated mentally defective from owning firearms. And in the concealed carry part of the law, it states that anybody who “Develops or sustains a physical infirmity which prevents the safe handling of a weapon or firearm” cannot carry a gun for self-defense. That sounds very close to what the teachers are admitting happens to them

So here is my proposal: If you are a teacher in Florida, you are a Prohibited Person. That means you cannot carry, own, posses, etc. a firearm anywhere in the state and you are subject to the same conditions and penalties as if you were a felon or somebody convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence.

Sounds fair to me and we are doing this to keep the Children Safe, right? I mean, there are children outside the school and if you are a danger to them with a gun inside the school, you are certainly the same danger out there in the world and we need to keep you from harming those you are supposed to teach only.

But don’t worry: if something happens, you can always call the cops.

Yesterday, I got an email from Rick at 305guns.com announcing the arrival of my “Freedom Seed” AKA Palmetto Armory stripped lower. Not 30 minutes later, the Brown Truck of Ballistic Happiness dropped a box with the upper and the rest of the goodies that go with the lower. In the afternoon, I dropped over Ricks, had a swell time while processing the paperwork and, BANG! I was an AR owner.

Why now and not before? I am contrary and I don’t follow trends because that is the way I click. J. Kb. was amazed and suspect when he found out I don’t own anything that shoots .45 ACP. I own revolvers, but not Glocks or 1911s. I can’t figure out myself.
The point is that this time I had a bad feeling in my prominent gut. But the stars aligned and Palmetto State Armory had a sale on a stripped lower, another sale on a full upper and the stuff to properly dress the lower with all coming under $400.

Think about that: $400 and a bit of sweat gets you a good quality AR-15.

I spoke with the wife, checked our credit, rummaged the closet for sellable stuff and went for it. Thanks to a donation and an AK part already sold, I have repaid 1/4 of the AR and the wife was slightly happy.

So, why the picture when by nature I am reluctant to show my guns? First is because it turned out good. Second is because it is my “artistic” way to say Eff and U to the Skin Head Pod Eater, her Nazi Mate in Propaganda and assorted Antis that tried (and failed) to embarrass and frighten me because I am a gun owner and an NRA member.

And like me, I am sure there are several tens of thousands who are also holding a brand new AR-15 or similar. And that will be your legacy: You pissed off a bunch of ornery and contrary people of all sexes and races and they went and bought the gun you wanted banned.

You failed. 

Two wounded students are taking their first steps to sue over the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The law firm representing 15-year-old Kyle Laman sent a letter of its intent to sue the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the FBI, the Broward School Board and other defendants.
Kyle is the second student to file notice this week.
Separately, student survivor Anthony Borges, 15, and his parents notified Broward County Administrator Bertha Henry of their plan to sue. The notice claims negligence on the parts of Broward County Public Schools, Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ principal and its school resource officer.

Two Stoneman Douglas shooting survivors take first steps to sue.

We know that the lawsuit against BSO will go nowhere (No Duty To Protect), but it will be interesting to see how the School Board is gonna dance with this one.

I reckon paper shredders are working overtime today!

You have to understand the mind of a sociopathic criminal. A sociopathic/psychopathic criminal views his crime as an achievement. Most of us cannot relate. We view our accomplishments in business, sports, family/personal life or other areas as achievements. Not so with the criminal. And not so, whether the criminal is 53, 33 or 13.

Inside the Criminal Mind — of a 13-year-old Potential School Shooter in Ohio

I need you to understand how important are the words above. they are probably the simplest explanation between them and us. Think anything everything evil, disgusting, things that make your blood boil, your stomach churn and give you nightmares. For them they are conquests, stuff that makes them happy, badges of honor and pride.

There is a bunch of them that were withdrawn and relate to funding or mental health stuff that I won’t deal ’cause it s Sanskrit to me.
Here is a list of what did not make it. Most of the failed ones were sort of grammar/clarification type. You can always go straight to the bill and check them out.

-Universal Background Checks. F
-16 hours of training for CWP. W
-Universal Background Checks part 2. W
-Banning Hollow Points. W (There is another similar amendment still in place)
-Large-capacity magazine. W (There is another similar amendment still in place)
-Manufacturing of weapons by citizens. W
-Risk protection Order, “Allege” that the respondent poses a significant danger. W
-Risk protection Order, “Allege” that the respondent poses a significant danger (part 2). W
– Tax on firearms and ammunition. W

There is still a bunch of amendments untouched. They may never be discussed or maybe they will. I just do not know.

I do need a break. All this legislative-speak can drive you insane…er.

UPDATE: The House Republicans apparently got some backbone and the Amendments went down in flames or were withdrawn.

We can breath for tonight. Tomorrow is another day.
