In a decision that may be contested in the Supreme Court, a federal appeals court in Atlanta, Georgia, today overturned a Florida law that prohibits physicians from asking patients if they own a gun unless the question is medically relevant.The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and other major medical societies have opposed the so-called gun-gag law, saying it infringes on the First Amendment right of physicians to discuss gun safety, especially when patients have children who may come across a loaded, unsecured firearm.

I’ve been reading the court’s decision a bit and they keep bringing the Florida Board of Medicine which has its directives from the legislature, to be more specific Chapter 458 of the Florida Statutes:

458.301 Purpose.—The Legislature recognizes that the practice of medicine is potentially dangerous to the public if conducted by unsafe and incompetent practitioners. The Legislature finds further that it is difficult for the public to make an informed choice when selecting a physician and that the consequences of a wrong decision could seriously harm the public health and safety. The primary legislative purpose in enacting this chapter is to ensure that every physician practicing in this state meets minimum requirements for safe practice. It is the legislative intent that physicians who fall below minimum competency or who otherwise present a danger to the public shall be prohibited from practicing in this state.

I figure, if doctors and practitioners of the healing arts are so eager tell people what do with firearms in their own private lives, then they should all be required to become NRA instructors in at least Home Firearm Safety,  FIRST Steps Rifle/Shotgun Orientation and Basics of Pistol Shooting.  They cannot very well give advice on something that they do not know., that would be unethical and possibly opening them up for lawsuits that may or may not be covered by their insurance companies.

Before a book is published and released to the public, it’s passed through the hands (and eyes) of many people: an author’s friends and family, an agent and, of course, an editor.

These days, though, a book may get an additional check from an unusual source: a sensitivity reader, a person who, for a nominal fee, will scan the book for racist, sexist or otherwise offensive content. These readers give feedback based on self-ascribed areas of expertise such as “dealing with terminal illness,” “racial dynamics in Muslim communities within families” or “transgender issues.”

Imagine the many centuries where Censorship boards and individual existed and they were all working for the Government. But now, somebody has managed to get books censored via the Private Sector while making a buck!

C’mon, you have to admit it: It is a stroke of genius. I can imagine the resume being transcripts of Twitter posts with the according SJW hashtags. If you are gonna get easily pissed by what somebody wrote, might as well fatten up your bank account.

Genius!

Apparently, it is not only the Democrats or the Media who failed to learn from the Elections, but the Libertarian party seems to have doubled down on the Liberal/Progressive bandwagon:

Really? You are going to lie like that to get some relevancy? Or was it just a mistake that you did not the adjective illegal? How low can they go? The decade is still young.

I figure they want to attract the Bernie Sander fans to see if they have a chance to Federal Elections funding next time. In the meantime, they will continue to resort to stripping to get some cash.

I swear that kids just put crap up in their profiles because it may sound cool but have no frigging idea what it means. Case in point one (((Lani C))) @LRCINdy_MSW. This is her Twitter profile or whatever is called:

And she was hawking a lie for Gun Control, along the same lines of getting Glocks is easier than books.

She should delete “Zionist” and substitute it with “Kapo.” It fits her much better.

It’s Going Down appears to be a group promoting violent acts for tomorrow.  This is (or maybe by now is a was) pages, Forming an Antifa Group: A Manuel.

First the obvious fact that Jake and Elwood would have run over Antifa groups for the sheer joy of eliminating Illinois Nazis posing as anti Nazis. But apparently the Soros funding did not cover editorial oversight or even spelling.

So one must do what one must do:

Anyway. go check if you city/area is going to be targeted and prepare accordingly. If you don’t like what you see, do not be brave and go to a secure location. From what I have seen, they are targeting downtown areas where the Media will go and seek confrontation with the authorities while breaking stuff and setting fires.

Stay safe!

I shared this meme with the wife in Facebook for Valentines:

She saw it, laughed hard and long, looked at me and with her sweet eyes said:

TALLAHASSEE Concealed guns at Miami Dolphins games, local bars and even voting booths could be commonplace under a sweeping measure introduced this week in the Florida Legislature.With the recent, tragic history of the Pulse nightclub massacre last June in Orlando and the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting last month, two conservative Republican lawmakers want to do away with all of Florida’s “gun-free zones” — 15 locations in state law where concealed weapons are currently prohibited.

This senate bill and its House companion is giving fits to the Gun Control Crowd. It is more extensive that Steube’s versions which might be the reason it was introduced: It makes it more palatable and easier to get them approved and voted favorably. And before the chest-thumping starts, remember not to let Perfect be the enemy of Good: The idea is to get good gun bills moving and sent to the Governor’s office for signature and not to show off in your favorite gun forum how tough you are because you “NO COMPROMISE. FUCK YEAH!”
