Gun Free Zone

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three men linked to a violent white supremacist group known as The Base were charged with conspiring to kill members of a militant anti-fascist group, police in Georgia announced Friday, a day after three other members were arrested on federal charges in Maryland and Delaware.

So Nazi Assholes kill some Antifa Communists Assholes and then they go to prison for life.

The downside would be what?

Nothing much. The 49 bills (my count), good and bad are being slowly sent to their respective committees and subcommittees.

If there is any doubt that Galvano and a few others in the Senate were bought by Bloomberg, Bill 7028 voted as committee bill, should erase any doubt. We need to pounce on the Senate and twice as hard on the House.

Bad News: Galvano and many others will term out this year. That means they are not afraid of not being re-elected and will vote with whomever peddled the best influence.

Good News (Sort of): Between the House and the Senate, they have to go through 3,397 bills before March 13. Basically they have 40 business days to deal with all that stuff. My only wish is that they choke on work and decided to go after the bills that represent future benefits for them.

As of now, I do not see a clear and strong support for Gun Rights like Steube was and I do hope I am very wrong.  I also do not see (may have missed them) all those who last year were flogging the NRA and promising on their testicles they could do a much better job than Marion Hammer.  Gentlemen, it is time to demonstrate your fervor for the cause. You don’t want to be upstaged by an 81 year old grandmother, do you?

I will spend the weekend working on the committees lists to post by Monday.  The emails remain the same, but there has been personnel movement.

Fellow bloggers: send me your links to your Florida Gun Rights posts so I can publish them here. Anybody else has information they want to share, do the same. Miguel AT gunfreezone DOT net.

It’s an all-too-familiar story: A curious child finds a loaded gun, reaches for it and ends up shooting someone nearby — or themselves.
It happened again on Wednesday, when a 7-year-old boy found a loaded gun in the SUV where his father had left him alone and shot himself in the leg with it, Fort Lauderdale police said. He was the third child to find a loaded gun and fire it, hitting someone, in the past month.

No charges for dad after boy, 7, finds loaded gun in car and shoots himself in leg, cops say

Once again, if we do not take care of this problem on our own, some enterprising Liberal will use it to shove more gun control down our throats.  Besides, we are always taunting how the any Opposition operative uses the title of “Gun Safety advocate” but does nothing for real gun safety, and yet we kinda shrug our shoulders at news like this.

“The father went into the store and left the child inside of the vehicle,” she said. “He was only inside the store for a few minutes [and] when he returned to the vehicle he realized the son had been shot in the leg.”

I check the address given in the article and comes back to a Winn-Dixie supermarket. This is important because it is not a Gun Free Zone and that makes me think dad does not have a Concealed Weapons License, otherwise why leave a loaded gun in the car with a kid inside? And next, of course, I am going to rant about not having a gun box with a lock where the gun could have been placed while he went to get the BBQ kale chips and the box of cabernet for the missus.

Please, stop the stupid. Secure your weapons.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A man fired several shots at his own vehicle Thursday morning after police said a group of “kids” tried to steal his car from a west Charlotte gas station.

…

The victim, who is in his 20s and has a concealed carry license, told FOX 46 that he “unloaded his entire magazine at his own car, aiming at the tires,” after he saw two suspects jump into his car at pump #1 at the gas station. The suspects reportedly showed a weapon as they drove off on at least three flat tires.

I bet you are asking the same question: “Did the dumb sonofabitch leave the car running? I bet he did!”

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.

Hat Tip Paul K.

But without script or the good acting.  And, of course, it is a Woke show.

This is not a Hospital Unit but a cluster fuck of people with gambling issues, con men, sex fiends and drug dealers… and that is just the American side. Are the Taliban the bad guys? Nope, Blackwater-type Contractors are the black hats here.   And of course, there is no new TV show unless we have our sad immigrant story who is about to be kicked out of the army because her DACA status expired. if 2019 was the year of dropping the Jews and raising the Muslim as the substitute, 2020 seems to be the year of the Illegal Hispanic Alien and screw those of us who did it the legal way. Hell, there is even a full remake of Party of Five based on the fact the parents were illegals and got deported leaving the poor children (born in the US, I presume) to fend off for themselves while waving an angry fist at Orange Man Bad.

I am going to admit I was not expecting much from the series once they started to push it as the 21st century MASH (always a bad sign when the show requires buttressing from an old favorite) and the producer of Yellowstone (Amazing show and again proof of buttressing having to mention it.) And also because I was lucky to catch a six-part series called Inside Combat Rescue from NatGeo who showed a bit of the harsh reality rescuers and hospital personnel face.

This year will suck for new TV shows. I am just waiting for Narcos Mexico Season 2 to come on (Feb 13 IRRC) to renew my Netflix and binge accordingly.

This is an announcement from Virginia’s Governor’s Office.

Governor Northam Declares State of Emergency in Advance of Capitol Square Demonstration

Governor’s decision based on credible threats of violent extremism

RICHMOND—Governor Ralph Northam today declared a state of emergency in advance of expected demonstrations on Capitol Square on Monday, January 20, 2020. Law enforcement intelligence analysts have identified credible threats of violence surrounding the event, along with white nationalist rhetoric and plans by out-of-state militia groups to attend.

The Governor’s declaration prohibits all weapons, including firearms, from Capitol grounds, and will provide joint law enforcement and public safety agencies the resources they need to keep demonstrators, policymakers, and all Virginians safe.

This emergency declaration is temporary, and extends from Friday, January 17 at 5:00 PM until Tuesday, January 21 at 5:00 PM.

Internet Chest Thumpers aside, what I’ve seen of the gun sanctuary townhalls and marches has been overwhelmingly peaceful and polite.

If it hadn’t, we’d be flooded with stories about the crazy gun nuts scaring local politicians in between impeachment updates on CNN.

Yes, the Governor’s action is probably justified on some scale based on the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville back in 2017, and is bracing for the worst.

But there is another factor at play because history repeats itself.

In 1996, Australia was mulling a gun ban.  There was a political rally held by Australian sportsmen and hunters.  The Prime Minister at the time was John Howard, who addressed the rally of law-abiding licensed, Australian gun owners visibly wearing body armor under his clothes.

This upset the crowd.  The PM was implying that these law-abiding gun owners would try and shoot him at the rally, which was offensive as hell.

The media reported that the rally was “hostile” and portrayed Howard as fully justified in needing to wear armor.  This turned the public opinion further against the Australian gun-owning community and the Australian parliament passed its gun ban and buyback with overwhelming support.

I am absolutely convinced that Northam is engaged in the same sort of act.  He is declaring this emergency the way he has to set the narrative that ALL GUN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ARE JUST AS DANGEROUS AS THE HANDFULL OF TIKI-TORCH ASSHOLES.

That is the story the press will run with. You know this to be absolutely true.

CNN, MSNBC, etc. will not separate the guy with the SS runes tattooed on his neck from law-abiding NRA members and they will do their best to make sure every person there is assumed to be the worst that America has to offer.

I fully support the right of the people to peaceably assemble.  I think showing up at the capital is important, do demonstrate in real-time that gun control is not going to be welcomed across most of Virginia.

The worst thing that can happen to decent, law-abiding, gun owners or Conservatives, etc. is to be silenced and intimidated out of the public square with the threat of character assassination.

So here is my advice.

Leave your Gadsden flags, MOLON LABE, Spartan helmet, and all other shit like that at home.  Make your signs polite, presentable, and nonthreatening.

Wear a Polo shirt and a pair of khakis.  Look like you are going to work on a casual Friday.

I have documented time and time again on this blog about how the excesses of a group scare the normals and turn public opinion against a moment instead of towards it.

Remember that the public opinion towards gay rights went up with Will and Grace and down with Pride parades of pre-pubescent drag queens and men dancing on the street in nothing but roller skates and leather cock-socks.

DON’T SCARE THE NORMALS.

Wearing a III% shirt with a banner saying “come and take it” is the gun-rights version of a satanic drag queen showing his asshole to children.

You can read the rules in the EO for yourselves.

Some important things to note:

[N]o weapons, including firearms, may be carried or possessed on any land, real property, or improvements owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia within the area bounded by Broad Street, Ninth Street, Bank Street and Governor Street in the City of Richmond, Virginia, as well as any Commonwealth-owned parking lots for Virginia’s Department of Transportation, the Madison Building, the Monroe Building, the Patrick Henry Building, Washington Building, the Jefferson Building, and the Oliver Hill Building. 

Leave your shit at home.  You are showing your dislike for these gun control bills by your presence in numbers, not with guns.

“Weapon” means any weapon as defined in paragraphs (ii) through (v) of
subsection A of § 18.2-308 of the Code and any stun weapon, as defined under § 18.2-308.1 of the Code, with the exception of a pocket knife
having a folding metal blade of less than three inches. “Weapons” also
includes, but is not limited to, sticks, torches, poles, bats, shields, helmets, caustic substances (i.e., pepper spray), hazardous materials, scissors, razor blades, needles, toy guns, toy weapons, fireworks, glass bottles, laser pointers, aerosol containers, baseballs, softballs, UAVs/Drones, or any item that can inflict bodily harm that is visible, other than firearms.

A knife is an important part of EDC.  I have one on me all the time.  This is not the place for your tactical BFF (big fucking folder).  Your little Swiss Army Knife will do just fine.

If it looks like a weapon, it will be treated as such.

Conduct yourself with the best behavior.  Be unimpeachable in your conduct.  The Left and the media are looking for a reason to destroy you, do not give them anything.
