I have been reading and watching Anti Gun Politicians for close to 2 decades come up with some amazingly displays of lies and stupidity when talking about guns, But I must say that State Senator Kevin de Leon has gone farthest and fastest than anybody else before him. I don’t know if Sen. De Leon has his abuelita living nearby, but if she ever finds out about the lies and general ignorance portrayed by his grandson, she is bound to grab a chancleta and spank some sense into his body

Here is the complete presser video. Under it you will quotes and comments. If you suffer from migraines, you may want to avoid the post.

00:00 “Tomorrow in the senate safety public  committee I will introduce legislation to ban the sale the manufacture the purchase and trafficking a plastic and self-assembled firearms also known as Ghost Guns in California.”
OK, You are in California and you hate guns and you gonna ban them. No surprise there.

00:23 “…advances in technology specifically 3d printers using digital blueprints can now make plastic fully functional guns that can slip through metal detectors and x-ray machines in airports and elsewhere…”
Nothing said about the cartridges that have to be metal and that are not X-ray invisible…you may need one or two of thjose for the gun to work..just saying.

00:45 “…they are being produced without serial numbers or records of sell. No one knows that they exist until after a crime has been committed. ”
And pray tell us how many of these 3D printed guns have been involved in crimes?  I guess somewhere between zero and nada.

01:00 “…the firearms are called Ghost Guns because they do not have serial numbers and the owners have not undergone background check because nobody even knows that they exist. Also 3d-printed guns may have detachable metal pieces and be slipped pass metal detectors…”
Huh? Metal that goes undetected by metal detectors? (Say that fast 5 times) Sen. De Leon would have a sh**-fit if he finds out about the AK-Building Clubs where they build guns from flats, have no serial numbers and are legal!

01:20 “…new technology that makes manufacturing guns available to the general public also raises questions about whether a homemade guns are made by dangerous individuals. To be legal under SB 808 the measure that will be introducing tomorrow in the Senate Public Safety Committee Ghost Guns will have to be registered with the Department justice three serial number and a gun owner background
check …”
I can see your local meth addict ordering a 3D printer plus the materials and the computer in order to print hisself a gun that may or may not work. And of course, he will register the gun immediately! 

02:22 “…the threat is broader than
3d guns we need to make sure that homemade guns do not fall into the hands dangerous criminals and the mentally unstable. With that, I want to show the process for creating a ghost gun which is quite shockley simple…”
Yay! We are gonna see a 3D printer in action carving a plastic gun!

02:39 “.. if you just focus on this piece of metal….”
Wait? Piece of metal? I thought we were talking about plastic! Wait one , isn’t that an 80% AR not-yet-receiver?”

By golly it is! And it is invisible to X-Ray machines? Really?

03:27 “…again is the engine to the high part semi-automatic assault weapons are you see displayed here today with that the lower receiver an individual can buy this eighty to a hundred dollars online this doesn’t have a serial number it doesn’t require a background check…”
Because it is NOT a receiver you moron! It is a piece of metal that can be seen in ANY X-Ray machine. 

03:47 “…all the person has to do secure this jig, go to someone who has a drill press….you insert this lower receiver into this jig…you go to someone who has a drill press and god knows throughout the city
california special my district industrial areas…”
You mean you get a Black and Decker drill press and ..presto?

04:12 “…you can go easily to any drill press a bit and make the holes necessary want to make the holes necessary becomes this.

“….This is the lower receiver again the engine.  Then the engine becomes this…”
That has to be some drill press… it not only makes holes but anodizes aluminum in one pass…. holy crap! I want one!

4:39 “…we have here a semi-automatic weapon which is illegal in the State of California, nonetheless this has a serial number. This weapon right here can be detected…”
We ll Hell, I can see the damn gun and it is made out of metal , of course it can be detected you nitwit! And if the gun is illegal, wtf are you doing with it? You are in possession of an illegal “assault weapon”!

05:16 “…with the purchase this lower receiver online through the internet, you can go on YouTube, you can create this illegal weapon. this is a ghost this right here.”
Whut?? But I can see the damn thing! How can’t it be undetectable? And again: It is made out of metal which means it will set off metal detectors! Am I the only one not losing his mind at the sheer idiocy? This frigging moron introduced a bill to stop plastic guns, invisible to X-Rays and it is showing a metal gun?

(I am jumping the whole  “to disperse with 30 bullets within half a sec” as it is already well covered)

06:12 “….this weapon which is an automatic sniper weapon that is used by our troops in the military in Afghanistan again this is a weapon is a Ghost Gun got no serial number, you cannot trace.  It its undetectable. 
What da fur? OK honey Bunny, it is time for you to put down the bad toy and go take your medication. And will somebody cut his Medical marijuana card please? I think he is overdosing!

There is about 15 more minutes of maudlin BS on this video, but I can only take it till here.  After that, serious headaches start to develop and the need to toss him a Webster Dictionary straight to his face becomes a need.

Hanlno’s razor establishes that you should never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Senator de Leon establishes that actually both malice and stupidity can coexist in the same brain. 

Insane? No so much if you consider past behavior from left-leaning groups and unions.  The following pic is an example of why laws and ordinances like that are passed:

That is from a Longshoremen protest in Portland back in 2011.  If I recall, anarchist marches and other similar idiots tend to pull that kind of stunts and then using the “holders” to create havoc and destruction of private property. Anyway, I find it kinda stupid, specially when it is attached to a bunch of scaredy cats that puke & pass out at the sight of a Glock logo.

But why not ban guns? Well, maybe because there have been no incidents when gun owners march? As in “They behave according to the law, are polite and friendly”? That kind of thing goes a long way, you know?

And the comments from the Luddites are just precious:

Karen Derus Durling Right-wing stinkin’ thinkin’ at its finest!

Rory Lane Shows how backwards thinking the pro – gun folks are

Steve Nolan If only they defended the 1st the way they defend their warped idea of the 2nd

Peter Read The staffs of hand-sized American flags were problematic. AR-15s were not. As a veteran I don’t know what to make of that.

EM Clark Get rid of Fox News. I am a Republican, but as long as people like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and Fox News are allowed to proliferate, this will happen. Big money maker and Rupert and Limbaugh and those guys are not practitioners. How come Palins two eldest kids can get away with having an illegitimate brat and nearly illegitimate brat outside of wedlock but you can’t. They are just making money on this. Also Doomsday Preppers. You would think Ahmedinajab was over here. If it is walking back, let it walk back safely.

Charlotte Rowe Not insane. Very deliberately planned to favor the gunfucks.

Jack Parker Does Terry McAuliffe have anything to say about this? I thought the last election signaled a major shift in VA politics.

Apparently .22 lr is still hard to find.

Yes, I do Country too.

Headache & Beverage Warning.

So much dumb is painful…and they get to write laws.

‘If I had a Son’: Race, Guns, and the Railroading of George Zimmerman by Jack Cashill

I heard Massad Ayoob say once: “You do not win a gun fight, you survive it.”  And he should add “not necessarily unscathed.”

If you carry concealed or even if you only have a gun for home defense, you have to read this book. It is an amazing description of what happens when The Carriers of the Narrative focus its attention and considerable power against one man.

This books goes to great lengths detailing  the multi-pronged lynching of George Zimmerman and the total disregard for the rule of law from even by those who swore to uphold it.  Whether you think Zimmerman did or did not the right thing on the February night, the way the case was handled in the media, politicians and the legal system was a disgrace of several orders of magnitude.  It was a process where the Fourth Power had no problems becoming the First Accomplice to the political designs of racial groups and the Judicial branch of a state had no problem becoming the lap-dog of said groups in order to avoid being branded as insensitive and assure re-elections.

I don’t most of us know all the details, inside and out of his case. I did try to follow as close as possible and I found a wealth of information that simply was not available to regular people and that would have made a different story if those who were entrusted with telling us had done their jobs instead of trying to curry favors with some selected political trends.

I am very distrustful of the press. If you have read this blob for more than a month, you pretty much have figured it out.  If the National Guard Letters were the downfall of Dan Rather, the Zimmerman Case is the beginning of the avalanche for the Old Electronic and Dead Tree Media.  As much as they tried to control the message, it was the New Media and the New Electronic Frontier who kept frustrating the job of having everybody singing along the same set of lyrics.  My guess is that many people who did not have trust issued with the Old News generation, were shocked into realize they were lied bluntly by design.

If you think I am exaggerating, ask yourself this question: There is no doubt that George Zimmerman is the most hated man in the USA for killing Trayvon Martin. Yet Adam Lanza killed his mother, stole a rifle, broke into an elementary school and killed twenty small children without compunction and he is not even remotely close in the hate level in the American consciousness.

If that is not telling, I don’t know what else can be.

Hat Tip for this book goes to Andrew Branca who did a much better job keeping me informed of the Zimmerman trial with 140 characters via Twitter than all the major media outlets and cable news channels combined.
