I was just reading Linoge’s post about religious door to door people and I had to chuckle. When we moved to our home, I printed and taped to the front door a small sign that said “Solicitors will be shot, survivors will be shot again” and it worked like a charm till my Non-English Speaking Mother came to live with us and I made the mistake of translating the meaning. She was horrified that I would be so nasty and impolite and took it down. (Don’t ever try to argue with an Spanish mother, they can make Jewish moms feel so guilty they’d convert into Catholicism)

Lately we are seeing a serious increase on Door Knockers: From Jehovah Witnesses to Avon Ladies to Magazine Sellers to Roof repairers and this being South Florida, I am sure one or two were offering door to door Santeria works. So I am thinking on having this sign made:

It is either that or a minefield.

Privacy of Firearm Owners: Provides that licensed practitioner or facility may not record firearm ownership information in patient’s medical record; provides exception; provides that unless information is relevant to patient’s medical care or safety or safety of others, inquiries regarding firearm ownership or possession should not be made; provides exception for EMTS & paramedics; provides that patient may decline to provide information regarding ownership or possession of firearms; clarifies that physician’s authority to choose patients is not altered; prohibits discrimination by licensed practitioners or facilities based solely on patient’s firearm ownership or possession; prohibits harassment of patient regarding firearm ownership during examination; prohibits denial of insurance coverage, increased premiums, or other discrimination by insurance companies issuing policies on basis of insured’s or applicant’s ownership, possession, or storage of firearms or ammunition; clarifies that insurer is not prohibited from considering value of firearms or ammunition in setting personal property premiums; provides for disciplinary action.

And the usual suspects are throwing fits and threatening to challenge the law in court.

Just hours before Scott’s office announced the bill signings, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and three Florida physician groups announced they would challenge the gun gag law if the governor approved the measure pushed by the National Rifle Association.

“Gov. Rick Scott should realize the risks to public health and safety that he would be sanctioning by giving into the gun lobby’s agenda,” the groups said in a joint statement.

Other organizations planning to take part in the legal challenge are the Florida chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians and American College of Physicians.

Mind you, these medical organizations were approached beforehand to try and get some sort of compromise before having to result into going for a law. They ignored any possible conversation and now they are bitching.

If the silly play on the Second Amendment text was not bad enough, the rest of the exchange between Andrew Goddard and Ladd Everitt is really worrisome to say the least.

And this is the people that want to have us found mentally unstable, remove our weapons and send us to the local mental gulag for safekeeping.

And accuracy suffers accordingly.

VPC, CSGV and the Bradies would have collective strokes if an ad like this would run today.
But we can only dream. Specially about the price!

And Traditional Media still wonders why we don’t trust them. I need two aspirins.

I am one lucky bastard.
