Gun Free Zone

Left side is the Missus’: Ham, salami, onions and a bit of mushrooms.
Right side is mine: Ham, more ham, lots of mushrooms and anchovies.

Lots of mozzarella bottom and top with shavings of pecorino, romano and parmesan as finishing touch. Oh yes, home-made dough for the crust.

We close this legislative year with two “pro-gun” bill. First is  SB7030 which include the volunteer armed teachers in the Guardian program.

Second is HB 7059 – OGSR/Concealed Carry License/DACS:  Records of those applying for a Concealed Weapons License via the Tax Collector’s office will remain confidential.

We did not get B 1238: Safety of Religious Institutions (Clarification on Church Carry). So be careful with your religious institution.

What did not pass:

1.  Including theaters and performing art centers as Gun Free Zones.
2.  Assault Weapons and Large Capacity Magazines Ban. (2 bills)
3.  Universal background Checks. (2 bills)
4.  Repealing State Preemption. (2 bills)
5. Revising the standard under which a person is justified in using or threatening to use nondeadly or deadly force.
6. Prohibiting a concealed weapon or firearm licensee from openly carrying a handgun or carrying a concealed weapon or firearm into any child care facility,.
7.  Reinforcing the Red Flag law.
8.  Shooting your firearms in your property prohibited unless it is larger than 5 acres.
9.  3D firearms ban.
10.  Prohibition of minors posting firearm is social media.
11.  Reducing the number of years CWL are valid and “proficiency” test.
12.  Making anybody convicted of misdemeanor hate crime a prohibited person.

The bills pretty much died in birth. It seems there was no political stomach for it after all the political capital spent last year and the bitchslap to the school board, the BSO and gun control in general that represented the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission Report.

I am telling you what was not helpful: The state’s Gun Rights associations. I saw Marion Hammer once testifying in one committee and that was it. I saw nothing else from Unified Sportsmen of Florida and zero from Florida Carry in the Legislature.

It was an embarrassment. If we lose rights in Florida, we have nobody but ourselves to blame.

I am taking the weekend off from all Gun Rights stuff. Funny stuff will probably be posted for filler.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) – In response to Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ tweeted suggestion that Disney should “[use] its profits from Avengers to pay all of its workers a middle class wage,” Disney CEO Bob Iger responded that the real solution was for more socialists like Bernie Sanders to make 22 profitable, high-budget movies in a genre that had heretofore only experienced mild and sporadic success.

Disney Strikes Back! Tells Bernie Sanders No, HE Should Make 22 Blockbuster Movies in a Previously Unprofitable Genre

IMAO.us has been carrying us in their blogroll for years now. They are joining the Political Parody in Absurdity movement and I am more than happy to give them our support.

And yes, Bernie said that crap. That was not a parody quote.

I just saw a notification of a friend that he is leaving the NRA while linking to this:

If you leave the NRA for an article co-investigated by The New Yorker and the Trace, consider the Second Amendment gone within 5 years.
The idea is to burn Nero, not Rome and you just handed a gallon of gas to the enemy.

We deserve what we have coming.

I’ll just start to post pictures of scantly-dressed women holding guns. I’ll make the same progress anyway and it is less troublesome.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Jose Sotomayor said he could not believe his eyes when he walked out of his home in Miami Gardens Thursday afternoon to find a man savagely beating a 3-year-old girl. He said she was trapped inside of his 50-gallon recycling bin.

Sotomayor said he was in his bedroom at his home in the 2700 block of Northwest 201st Terrace when he heard noises. He said he walked out to investigate and found 18-year-old Tristin Bernard was hitting the girl with a brick while she was inside the bin.

Paramedics rushed the girl to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition. Police said she suffered severe head trauma.

A neighbor recognized the girl and said she lived nearby. Police officers later arrested Bernard who neighbors said was the girl’s relative.

That is superhuman restraint, ladies and gentlemen.  The temptation to get this asshole to some far away canal in the middle of the Glades and put a bullet in the back of his worthless head would be too much for the average person or at least a deep class on human osteology and its strength against hard cylindrical objects.

Cops have to live with this stuff every day and behave like stuff like that does not affect them. It ain’t so.

While the Socialists and Communists celebrate May 1st, we are going to celebrate a goal nobody would have bet on 30+ years ago. I figure before mid-May we should cut that finish line.

Ladies are 27% of the CWL population and they need to pump those rookie numbers up to at least 30% if not the full 33.3% by the end of the year.
