When you try to butch up, but are still a cheap whore.

I remember reading about this new idea a couple of years ago when it made the News that South Florida branches of Bank of America instituted the No Hats/Caps, No Sunglasses policy. Pretty much everybody laughed at the policy and even though I go very little inside the banks, the few times I went in I was never asked to remove my cap.

Now this bank is upping the ante by adding guns and hoodies to the warning sign. I am sure criminals are going to stop and go “Oh damn, we can’t go in! It is forbidden…shit, we better go.”

And since Georgia GFZ signs do not really make it illegal for a legally permitted citizen to carry, I don’t see why would anybody even pay attention to the darned thing. More than likely, a bunch of overpriced lawyers came up with this stupidity because they needed to demonstrate that the retainer paid to the firm is actually being used, but by now they should know it is useless and more than likely give the bank a bad name among those clients who are actually making voluntary deposits instead of a forcibly withdraw.

Let’s face it, those signs have the same effect on stopping criminals as a “No soliciting” sign has on stopping Jehovah Witnesses from banging on your door on an early Saturday morning.

Reader Jeff A. sent me this last week, so apologies for the memory lapse and hat tip.

I really don’t want to be in the shoes of anybody in the Secret Service’s Trump Detail. I understand that 99.99999% of the idiots mouthing off in social media are just being idiots, but still has to be an amazing amount of pressure on them.

Anyway, I know I am going to have a ball watching the Libs totally losing it this week. By Thursday night, I expect some of them setting themselves on fire or jumping off some tall edifices or maybe going as far as getting a new piercing or tat.

Don’t forget to have your favorite adult beverage at hand and enjoy the moonbattery.

Such a heart-wrenching memorial!

Till you remember Martin Luther King was a Republican who was denied a permit to carry a firearm for protection and was shot by a white racist Democrat from the Midwest who supported George Wallace for president.

I accidentally bumped into the Congressional Record of February 1, 2000. 106th Congress, 2nd Session. If you believed the Media Narrative back then, Gun Control was assured and the NRA was all but defeated. It was the time when cities were suing gun manufactures for “gun violence” just to demonetize them into oblivion. And when companies like Lorcin, Davies and Sundance used the only legal way it was available to somewhat defend themselves (Chapter 11), the Gun Control Attack Dogs in Congress tried to carve them out from bankruptcy protection by trying to introduce the Levin Amendment to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1999 with the full and loud support of the Gun Control Organizations. I screen-captured some interesting parts of the congressional record:

This next one is an excerpt letter from the Violence Policy Center:

Notice the language:

“These lawsuits allege that firearm manufacturers have produced and sold defectively designed firearms,”
Mind you, the guns were cheap, but they were not blowing up in the owners hands, nor going out on their own to shoot innocent people.  It was (and still is) a rubbish accusation.

“and engaged in negligent marketing and distribution practices resulting in countless deaths and injuries in America’s cities.”
Were the gun companies selling guns to gang bangers in violation of Federal Law? Nope, never happened.

“Many other consumer lawsuits are pending against gun manufacturers.”
And here is the whole point: It does not matter that the accusations were bullcrap, once the lawsuit was introduced in a local or state court, the company had to answer it and that meant spending money and more money o lawyers till they had none and had to close shop forever. And that, kiddies is what the Gun Control Movement wanted back then. Death by a Thousand Lawsuits. Senator “Chuck” Grassley left that comment in the congressional record.

I question that the amendment might be about making sure that tort
plaintiffs receive compensation if any of the questionable antigun
lawsuits were to succeed because that is not what is going to happen.
This amendment is merely an effort to drive all segments of American
industry involved with guns out of business, even if thousands of
innocent, hard-working American employees have to pay the price.
Consequently, I urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment.
 

The whole bill never reached the floor, but the Levin Amendment was not forgotten by the Gun Rights community. Gun Manufacturers had decided to create a unified front to face these lawsuits and some 10 months later, Gun Owners flipped the elections from the almost guaranteed Al Gore to G.W. Bush and the pendulum went the other way. The NRA suddenly became a stronger lobby group than the AARP and Bill Clinton later admitted that ignoring Gun Owners was a mistake that cost them both Congress earlier and then the White House.

The Levin Amendment and the scores of lawsuits across the nation against gun manufacturers are the reasons why we ended up with the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. When the Opposition now bitches about gun manufacturers being specially shielded against (frivolous) lawsuits, remind them that it was their side who is responsible for that law.

PS: If you have some free time and feel like wading to a lot of anti gun B.S. take the time to detail the speeches by the Usual Suspects of the Anti Gun Movement. The transcript is quite long, but using the search function in your browser (CTRL F), type LEVIN and that should take you directly to the “festivities.” One thing you’ll notice is that the failed script has not changed a lot in almost 2 decades. And I have no issues with them making the same mistake over and over.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has the
responsibility of regulating virtually every product for household or
recreational use. In fact, the toy guns sold for Christmas and birthday
gifts are subject to regulation by the Consumer Product Safety
Commission. But the real guns, the Saturday night specials and the
firearms that could be the subject of these lawsuits, are not subject
to any Federal safety regulations at all.
Senator Dick Durbin.

See what I mean?

UPDATE: Just saw this post over Moms Demand, the Narrative never stops. I will give them props for recycling as the pic is from 3 years ago.

Over the past couple of months I’ve been seeing more and more friends of mine, who didn’t like Trump and didn’t vote for him, boarding the Trump Train.  I’ve found myself telling people, “I don’t even like the guy! Stop making me defend him!” This is not because he somehow magically won them (or me) over, or because they (or I) have all of a sudden begun to agree with his ideas.  No, it is because the petulant, whiny, violent, ignorant, condescensing, petty, vengeful left’s puerile screeching has reached
