DOJ says that anybody selling a gun is to be considered a dealer and required to get a license, do the paperwork or face punishment, my brain just won’t stop associating current events.

Today, the Justice Department announced it has submitted to the Federal Register the “Engaged in the Business” Final Rule, which makes clear the circumstances in which a person is “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms and thus required to obtain a federal firearms license, in order to increase compliance with the federal background check requirement for firearm sales by federal firearms licensees.

This struck me as very threatening..

And now I have to wonder if Bryan Malinowski was an object lesson about what is coming up.

Apropos of nothing, I believe I need to reread Unintended Consequences again.

Gun Control is a zombie: It is dead but refuses to lay down and wants to take as many people as possible with it.

And that is why we can’t stop whacking them.

Video has come out related to the raid that led to the death of Bryan Malinowski. If anything, it has helped me make the decision about a spare surveilance camera I had not used yet.

I have a doorbell camera too, but no other covering the front of the house. I shall give it a lot of thought on where and covertly place a backup camera.

And don’t forget: If your surveillance system is suddenly down, you must go DEFCON 1.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Weapon detection systems are being installed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Hospital leaders said it’s part of a new security plan to keep patients and staff safe.

The new screening devices will be installed starting at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt on April 18, a hospital spokesperson said. They will be expanded to other buildings over the coming months.

The weapon detection systems will be placed in the vestibules on the first and second-floor entrances to the children’s hospital. The current metal detectors used to enter the emergency department will remain in place.

Last September, a man was arrested while visiting his son at Monroe Carrell after police said he had a loaded gun and threatened to shoot someone. Rush said guns have never been allowed and this new technology will stop people from sneaking them into the hospital.

I wonder how effective this system will be. We will know eventually, but if it is anything like their COVID screening procedures, you would probably carry a Panzerfaust and get away with it.

The COVID procedure is as follow: You walk in, approach a manned desk, get a sticker like the one above, paste it in the front of your upper garment and proceed to traipse around the facility. Short of you coughing up blood and showing pustules all over your body, you are certain to be left alone. No temperature checking, no other observations required.
