Gun Free Zone

I have nothing to add.

A group of Floridians, probably funded by Bloomberg’s purse, want to introduce a petition that “Prohibits possession of defined assault weapons” in the 2020 elections. As we all know, the term “assault weapon” is malleable and adaptable to the moment they want to use it. Here is the definition according to the petition:

1) Definitions a) Assault Weapons – For purposes of this subsection, any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun capable of holding more than ten (10) rounds of ammunition at once, either in a fixed or detachable magazine, or any other ammunition-feeding device. This subsection does not apply to handguns. b) Semiautomatic – For purposes of this subsection, any weapon which fires a single projectile or a number of ball shots through a rifled or smooth bore for each single function of the trigger without further manual action required. c) Ammunition-feeding device – For purposes of this subsection, any magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device for a firearm.

Top of my head, a bunch old and new self-loading .22LR rifle out there will suddenly become assault weapon. From the Marlin 60 to the Ruger 10-22 to even the despised Remington Nylon will be officially “weapons of Mass Destruction” as in the hyperbolic parlance of the Gun Control fascists.

Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody has petitioned the FLSC to block the measure explaining that the proposed ballot language is “clearly and conclusively defective,”  She goes on.

Specifically, the ballot title and summary do not inform Florida’s electorate that, by defining “assault weapons” as “any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun capable of holding more than ten (10) rounds of ammunition . . . in a fixed or detachable magazine,” the amendment would ban the possession of virtually every semi-automatic long-gun. To be included on the ballot, the sprawling practical effect of the amendment must be revealed in the ballot language. Because that effect is not revealed, the ballot language is deficient.

Here is the title and summary:

The ballot title for the proposed amendment is:
“Prohibits possession of defined assault weapons.” The ballot summary for the proposed amendment states:
Prohibits possession of assault weapons, defined as semiautomatic rifles and shotguns capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition at once, either in fixed or detachable magazine, or any other ammunition feeding device. Possession of handguns is not prohibited. Exempts military and law enforcement personnel in their official duties. Exempts and requires registration of assault weapons lawfully possessed prior to this provision’s effective date. Creates criminal penalties for violations of this amendment

She goes on to indicate that the title and summary do not inform the demand for a firearm registration (currently illegal under the law, and in my opinion  means it will eventually have to be removed and Floridians could be forced into a full firearm registration) and this last part was amazing for me to read:

Finally, the ballot language and summary do not reveal that the amendment, if passed, would not merely “[c]reate0 criminal penalties for violations” of the assault weapons ban but would also grant the Legislature plenary authority to increase (but never to decrease) the severity of those penalties.

So if the initial penalty of “X” years and $”X” in penalties are not deemed effective, the legislature can just go ached and crank it up to 11 if necessary.  Maybe even pay attention to those in the Gun Control mob who demand the death penalty for Gun Owners and NRA members

As usual don’t tale my word, but go read straight from the source.

You bastards!

Busses in Mother Goose Land are very different than busses in real life.

The “Wheels on the Bus” bus does not have vagrants that go “stink stink stink” or junkies that go “mumble mumble mumble.”

Verisimilitude is not appreciated in nursery rhymes.

We are going to be seeing the media attack Trump for the rest of this week over his criticism of Baltimore.  Way out of proportion for the comments Trump made about the city.

There is a reason for this, it is a preview of what I think is going to happen in the months to come for the 2020 election.

Kamala Harris is gaining in the polls.  She is also picking up major Democrat donors.  Biden is just too much of a old white man for the Democrat primary voters and Sanders is not just and old white man, but is more and more a distasteful codger as well.

Harris is from Oakland, California.  Was the district attorney from San Francisco, turned California Senator.

Then there is “The Squad.”

AOC represents New York’s 14th district.  Which has a below-median income rate for New York and the US.  The neighboring 13th and 15th districts are the poorest in the state, and the 13th is the poorest in the country.

Rashida Tlaib represents the poorest district in Michigan, which is also the third poorest in the country.  Michigan’s 13th district incorporates some of the worst parts of Detroit and Wayne County.

Just for good measure, Frederica “Pimp Hat” Wilson’s district is the 10th poorest district in the US.  In fact, if you go through the link, you’ll see that many of the biggest Congressional critics of Trump come from the nation’s poorest congressional districts.

Readers of this blog know that we have chronicled the fall of San Francisco into needle strewn, open-air sewer, where is it not safe to park a car.

Evidence of the destruction of Detroit abounds on the internet.

As 2020 kicks into high-gear, the fact that the major challengers to Trump, either his opposing candidate or popular Congressional critics come from places where the Democrats have destroyed the American dream will become more and more relevant.

It is a reasonable question to ask, how can we trust a candidate or Member of Congress to fix the problems they complain about at the national level if the states and districts they represent are slums and shitholes.

The media needs to nip that in the bud before a Trump/Harris debate where Trump brings up California’s homeless problem, or streets covered with needles and human shit, or a Typus outbreak.

I used to work t a hotel and the fastest way that somebody could lose a job in the kitchen was to “nibble” something out of an order. And still, it happened.

All of these events involved groups of three to eight criminals attacking a single person or a couple.  These group attacks seem to be increasing in frequency.  What can we do about them?  Here are a few suggestions…
