Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Time to start a false rumor: What color will McThag use to cerakote his CMP 1911?

Angus, we are happy you are getting a piece of history, but we are also jealous so I am making thigns thing up because I am that kind of ***hole 🙂

Sun Sentinel: An editorial thick with stupid irony.

What is the  Interstate Popular Vote Compact? According to Wikipedia “The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.”

Let me see if I get this straight: In order to “respect” the results of the Nation’s popular vote (which legally count for squat), a state must ignore the results of its people’s vote.  The Sun Sentinel editorial thus is saying that it does not matter if Floridians vote overwhelmingly for one presidential candidate in the future, the results must be ignored because the voting results of the West Coast and the Northeast would be more important that ours.

That first election with the compact in place will also guarantee that the following elections will be filled with abstentionism because, if my vote is not going to count even when my candidate wins, why should I give a fuck about voting anyway? And that is how we will end up with Alexandria “She Guevara” Ocasio-Cortes as president and the Venezuelan Socialism as the law of the land.  Bye-bye the Democratic process they claim the   Interstate Popular Vote Compact is supposed to protect.

It is always nice to see a South Florida Media Outlet bowing to its Carpetbagger Masters. May the next round of cutbacks arrive soon.

 

 

Getting old is not easy

So yesterday and by ways I am still not figured out, I managed to land three fingers of my right hand on a live eye of the stove.

It hurt like a Mo…

Sent pretty much 8 hours doing the 10 minutes in – 10 minutes out of cold water till the pain subsided enough to go to sleep.  Right now, as long as I don’t do something stupid like grabbing a hot mug of coffee, the pain is gone…OK dormant.

A boxer (forget who) was asked if when you get old it is tougher to see the incoming fists. The boxer replied that he could see just fine, it was getting out-of-the-way that gets harder with age.

I can attest to that.

Reflexes once were like this little manic creature sipping espresso and munching on Meth snacks: always ready to jump at the least of stimulus. Now? tea, eating cupcakes and sitting on a rocking chair.

Plan accordingly. I sure as hell have done so.

Florida: SB 654 – Transfers of Firearms (Univerasal Background Checks and Confiscation)

General Bill by Book
Transfers of Firearms: Requiring transfers of firearms to be conducted through a licensed dealer; requiring deposit of the firearm with the licensed dealer under certain circumstances; providing for disposition of the firearm if the licensed dealer cannot legally complete the transaction or return the firearm to its owner, etc.

I don’t have to go over the UBC being crap thing again, but it is this section that I just noticed and worries me for the potential it has to screw people over.

If the buyer is denied, the seller has to go again with a background check,. And if it erroneously comes back as denied, he loses the gun because it has to be turned to the Sheriff within the next 24 hours. Appeals are taking 3 months or more as I well know and suffered.

This is a roundabout confiscation scheme, plain and simple.

I almost forgot the text of the bill

Florida: SB 636 – Use or Threatened Use of Force (Attack on Stand Your Ground)

Another attack on Stand Your Ground and Immunity from Prosecution

General Bill by Braynon
Use or Threatened Use of Force: Revising the standard under which a person is justified in using or threatening to use nondeadly or deadly force from a person’s reasonable belief to the objective belief of a reasonably cautious and prudent person in the same circumstances; revising the burden of proof from clear and convincing evidence to a preponderance of the evidence which the party seeking to overcome immunity from criminal prosecution under a specified provision must prove, etc.

You guys have to remember Braynon. He is the one that was porking RINO Anitere Flores who screwed us up by siding with Mom’s Demand.

If you go to the plain text of the bills, you will see a thing that is worrying: It substitutes  “he or she reasonably believes” with the much higher threshold of  “a reasonably cautious and prudent person in the same circumstances would objectively believe” being “objective” the most worrisome part.  Doing away with the reasonable Person standard and asking that somebody seeking to defend his/her life, a very stressful and very active event, must somehow stop and consider objectively and reflective the actions he should take. Basically ti take time when you have none.

And e have seen where this demand was turned down by the Supreme Court before:

Brown v. United States, 256 U.S. 335 (1921)
The law has grown, and even if historical mistakes have contributed to its growth it has tended in the direction of rules consistent with human nature. Many respectable writers agree that if a man reasonably believes that he is in immediate danger of death or grievous bodily harm from his assailant he may stand his ground and that if he kills him he has not succeeded the bounds of lawful self defence. That has been the decision of this Court. Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife.
