I just got an email from the NRA & Marion Hammer regarding the testimony of Moms Demand Action’s Shannon Guse who testified in front of the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee that HB-403 would allow guns to be introduced in prison, courthouses, colleges and somehow sabotage the School Guardian program. The last one is interesting because they hate that program.
From the email:
Ms. Shannon Guse, speaking on behalf of Moms Demand Action, made patently false statements in her testimony about HB-403. But she didn’t get away with it. Democrat Ranking Committee Member, Rep. Michael Grieco, called her out in front of the Committee for her inaccurate testimony.
Rep. Michael Grieco told Shannon Guse, “I have concerns when there are statements made that are just blatantly inaccurate.” He also said statements about guns going into jails and prisons are completely inaccurate… that’s not what’s happening ma’am. I have worked with you folks for several years now, I’m with you, but when you come in here, you’ve got to be accurate.”
Rep. Grieco is a Democrat from Sunny Isles, one of those boutique coastal towns in Miami-Dade county where I think if you are registered Republican, you are not allowed to live there and they still have a chapel with a statue of Hillary surrounded by lit candles. Just kidding…maybe. Anyway, when you have a Liberal politician telling you went way over the line, it means you fucked up by the numbers.
Here is the link to the video of the proceedings. She starts at minute 56. But that is not all. I almost missed something she said in her droning introduction the Subcommittee but caught my attention, rewinded and I was a bit shocked she said what she did: She said “does Church” in many places with many people including with young adults in bars. The jokes about Florida Cougars write themselves.
Marion Hammer was present and her well explained position was that the law as it stands is the government kidnapping owners of private property their right to determine who they allow to come in and how to prepare the security of their private property. I admit I did not see that one coming and makes all the sense in the world. According to statements made by Rep. Donalds, Law Enforcement supports this bill ( It makes economic sense to liberate officers from posting in churches and patrol the streets if a church has its own armed security)
The bill was finally voted 12-1-1 favorable (12 in favor, one against, one did not show up for work)
And once again repeating myself;
If your cause is righteous, why lie?
I normally don’t comment on folks’ appearance, as it’s a cheap shot, but here I go anyhow: she puts about as much effort into keeping her hair dye current as she does into making logical points. If her hair grows at the usual 1/2″ per month, she’s let that go for almost a year.
…it’s a feature, not a bug….
Miguel, you often say, and you are not wrong, “If your cause is righteous, why lie?”
You are not wrong. However, I would venture to guess that in many, if not most, cases, the perpetrators know that they are lying.
But I think that they imagine that, in the cause of “the greater good,” (whatever that is), they assuage their guilty consciences by telling themselves that the “righteous cause” justifies any and all types of deceit.
Thus, in their own eyes, they have the purity of a saint.
At least it seems that way…
