8th Week of 2018 Session – 10 Days until the End of Session

And we got us SB 7026 which at first glance goes with what the Senate and House leaders announced they were going to do some days back. Here is my take and remember IANAL.

-It creates that weird Office of Safe Schools. I still see it as a a bunch of people sitting and discussing shit. But if it keeps them from making bad laws, I am all for it.

-It creates an emergency fund to pay for medical bills of those affected by Mass Shootings. It also gives Florida a legal definition of Mass Shooting: “As used in this section, the term “mass shooting” means an incident in which four or more people are killed or injured by firearms in one or more locations in close proximity.” No issue with this bill at face value. I do see a potential of abuse to the fund every time a nightclub or Strip Joint is shot up my members of warring gangs.

-It mandates no individual under 21 can buy any firearm. This is downriight stupid and leaves good people without the chance of defend themselves, go hunting or participate in a firearms-related event unless they are gifted the guns. The posibilities for people unknowingly doing Straw Purchases will skyrocket. If anything this will be the law that makes felons out of good people while real gun traffickers get a slap in the wrist at a Federal level.(SUCKS & STUPID)

-It regulates how to keep guns out of the hands of individuals with mental issues. Again, IANAL, but I don’t see the possibility of California-style abuse with this part. It conforms to what we already have in terms of adjudication and recover of rights via appeal.  But I would not mind a lawyer go through it. (Tentative OK)

-Mandatory 3 day waiting period for all firearms, not only handguns. (SUCKS) Exception provided to anybody with a Concealed Weapons Permit and now they added “To a person who completes a minimum of a 16-hour hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or similar agency of another state, unless that person is purchasing a handgun.” Basically you can get a Long Gun immediately but not a handgun.

-Bumpstocks banned. The text reads as follows: (1) DEFINITION.—As used in this section, the term “bump fire stock” means a gun conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic firearm to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device.” Still does not affect Full Auto and although some claim it will be used by the courts to screw with regular trigger jobs. (BAD, but I would offer bumpstock as sacrificial anode if the age limit is removed from the bill )

-Risk Protection Order. Again I would like to have a lawyer read this, but I still don’t see a California-type of over-reach, actually the opposite as the Petitioner needs to sign under oath the request and evidence must be present for a judge to issue the RPO. (I have no problem with this initially)

-Supplemental Funding for Mental Health Assistance for Schools. “establishing or expanding comprehensive mental health programs that increase awareness of mental health issues among children and school-age youth; to train educators and other school staff in detecting and responding to mental health issues; and to connect children, youth, and families who may experience behavioral or mental health issues with appropriate services.”   Not bad by any means, but if violent events by students are still going to be hidden and the school population remain at danger for lack of action, this is just a waste of money. (OK I guess)

-Florida Sheriff’s Marshal Program, AKA Voluntary Armed Teachers. It is comprehensive in its requirements and narrowly tailored in its application as the teacher cannot act unless within a defined situation: “Active assailant incident” means a situation in which an armed assailant is posing an immediate deadly threat to persons on the premises or campus of a public school.” The teacher has no powers nor he/she can act as a normal LEO in other situation which is good as they are to be only to go active in case of SHTF . (GOOD)

What I don’t see in the bill: ELIMINATE THE COLLUSION BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SCHOOL BOARDS TO HIDE THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS.  Once again proving that laws are made to soothe the Media beast and not because they make sense or solve anything. Does anybody have any doubts that covering up all the shit that Nick Criz did over the years is one of the most important reasons nobody touched the asshole and made him a Prohibited Person?

What was the bad crap that was rejected?:

-Universal Background Checks.

-Assault Weapons Ban. (apparently wails were heard and students and assorted SJWs had to be taken to the ESR (Emergency Safe Room).

-Stupid Safe Storage. No minors near a gun, including if you were carrying concealed.

–Elimination of the Second Amendment as a Unalienable Right in the State of Florida... yes boys and girls. This amendment was brought to you by Senator Thurston, (D, Broward County) because the Constitution is just a piece of paper.

-The Public School Emergency Response Learning System Program. Another Jobs program, and unnecessary paperwork. I do like the way they plane to stop Active Shooters with Flip Charts, communication cards and children’s books.

Overall it is a bad/not-so-bad (70/30) bill, but it could have been much worse if you factor in that the Florida Senate has been quite shitty in the last couple of years regarding guns. There is the possibility that crap can be removed down the road and we still have the House who are more Pro-Gun and suffer from a case of IDGAF.

Truthfully our best case scenario would be the Legislative session’s  clock runs out before anything gets sent to the Governor’s desk for signature. I’d hate for the Armed Teacher bill not to make it, but I just don’t trust the GOP senate and fear they will want to do some stupid shit when people are not looking.

Just in case, keep the pressure to both the Legislature and the Governor.  Don’t forget that Scott terms-out and he is going after Bill Nelson’s seat who is a devoted hater of Gun Rights. I do feel that Scott would veto any bad bill if he feels he can depend on gun owners to back him up in November

Keep the fight up, people. Call and email your Representative and Senator

I still can’t believe that MSNBC is still beating the drum of the ammunition speed:

Apparently the teacher will be totally screwed up because the booolits from the shooter’s  Evil AR will reach the teacher before the boolits from the teacher reach the shooter. Of course, aiming, accuracy, etc. play no part in MSNBC’s equation. They must be Fire And Forget Missile Bullets. I think I heard about them in some forum.

Let’s go to basic Newtonian physics: v=d/t (velocity equals distance over time) and that means that an AR bullet will travel 3,000 feet in one second and a 9 mm will travel 1,100 feet in one second. No problem there

The problem is when we start applying real life to the equation. The AR bullet will travel 1,000 yards in one second and the 9mm will travel 367 yards (rounded up) in one second. But school shooters by far,  happen to shoot inside schools classrooms, there are no 1,000 yard long classroom nor 367 yard long classroom.

For the sake of our argument, let’s say that our imaginary classroom is 25 yards long.  I chose 25 yards because a pistol shooter should be able to place rounds on a human-sized target up to 25 yards with a little practice. Now let’s do the math again: To obtain the time for the bullets to travel 25 yards, we apply the formula t = d/v (time equals distance over velocity) and we find out that the AR bullet will travel 25 yards in 0.025 seconds.  The 9 mm will travel 25 yards in 0.06 seconds. In English we are taking 2.5 hundredth’s of a second and six hundredth’s of a second. To give you some perspective, that is about one and a half to two flaps of a hummingbird’s wings in normal flight.

So, in the great stage of reality, unless your shooter is doing some long distance engagement, bullet speed does not count for squat. However, aiming an accuracy count for every brownie point. As in the case of the New Life Church, Jean Assam with one well placed 9mm round took out the desire for a potential mass killer to continue with his endeavor.  And she is not the only example out there, but conveniently the Media always fails to mention them.

The sad part is that there are plenty teachers that do want to take the responsibility of training and carrying a firearm, but the unions are welded at the asses with the Democrats and they will rather insult the intelligence and bravery of their members than go against their political masters.

One legislator in Florida is upset because the Florida’s Senate Rules Committee approved the bill that allowed volunteer teachers to be armed. But it is what Sen. Oscar Branynon (D-Miami Gardens) said that explains a lot of what is wrong with our youth today. From the NY Post:

So what kind of father is the Senator?  Are his boys are aggressive little shits  to the teacher with his blessing? And this is one of the guys trying to come u with legislation to screw with my rights?
When and why it became OK to be aggressive to teachers? The whooping I would have gotten from my parents for just being disrespectful would have been against the Geneva convention. Getting downright aggressive? Hospital time, no doubt.

And yet, his fear shows the power of pacification that Concealed Carry has and the proof that  Heinlein was right.  All of  5 foot Miss Johnson is not physically threatening to young thug Pepito Jones, but if she has the capability to introduce him to the principles of terminal ballistics the hard way, he will re assesses his attitude and even if he ain’t polite, he won’t be aggressive.

I have parts for an AK built that I never got around to do and I need to sell to finance/pay my final entry into the AR world. If you want to make me an offer send me an email to Miguel@gunfreezone.troglodite.com Subject AK PARTS so I can remove fast those who may fall in the Spam Filter.

First is the Elk River Tool and Die, 1 mm receiver for 7.62x 39.  Heat treated, painted, has the rails, trigger guard, magazine catch and the front trunion holes are already drilled. Comes configured for side folder. Basically just rivet barrel and stock, add internal parts and you are done…more or less. Click on the pics to enlarge.

FFL required for this item for out-of-town sales. Local sales will require the  Florida DL,  Concealed Weapons Permit and a bill of sale. If I don’t like your face or I get a bad vibe, sale is off and I am outta there.
I would like $250 for it and I’ll throw the Tapco double hook trigger group for free.

And now, Non-FFL items for your viewing pleasure. 

Next we have a never used 7.2 x 39 barrel (for 1 mm receiver) with all the goodies in it: front sight, trunion, the gas things, etc. You just need to remove the rivets and install in the new receiver….Ok headspace is important. Don’t forget it.

If you have checked Gunbroker, you have seen the prices for the totally stripped barrels starting at $ 225 to $250. With this one you have everything already installed. Asking $225 or best offer.

Ultimak M1-B gas tube with rail. I bought it from somebody who used once, did not like it and sold it to me. I never used it.Gunbroker Buy Now prices go from $75 to $90. I will take $65 firm.

Next is a Hungarian wire side-folder stock. Same as with the rest, the trunion is included. I’ll take $45 for it. Warning. I don’t think this stock will fit the receiver I am selling. So, if you want both items, please be aware of that. 

Oh yes: BUYERS PAYS SHIPPING.  We’ll figure out the best way.

The sale here will close Sunday march 4th at 11:59 PM and I will post the unsold stuff in Gunbroker.

Please, help a heathen pay for his way into AR Salvation.

I have been abusing Rick with and as a matter of atonement for my excesses, I wanted to remind locals in SW Broward and NW Dade that he is available for your transfer needs and even gun buys.

The writer of the article gives us this “insightful” comment:

 The ‘Kill the NRA’ billboard likely won’t be around for long, but the sentiment behind it might.

I am to the point that I want them to start the action and try to kill us.  I swear I wanna see both Canada and Mexico complaining about the illegal immigration of Liberals from the US seeking refuge for the shit they started. I can imagine Mexican government telling the gringos that sorry, but they have to take care of the Mexican nationals returning to the mother country first before any foreigner.

I was looking at David Hogg’s Twitter profile picture and he looks like the perfect Aryan prototype envisioned in the Third Reich.
So I had to screw with it.
