Gun Free Zone

Douche Nukem released his anti-gun plan today.

There is lots in it that is bad, but the one that is total, absolute, ridiculous shit is this one:

Prohibit individuals from hoarding ammunition in quantities exceeding 200 rounds per caliber or gauge.

Two hundred rounds.

A single USPSA stage has a max of 32 rounds.  Six stages in a shoot.  That’s 192 rounds for a match.

A full course of Sporting Clays is 100 rounds.

A two hundred round limit means I can have one match worth of FMJ  and a single mag of JHP for self-defense in the same same caliber.

This is the dumbest, most unenforceable, out-to-hurt-target-shooters, bullshit imaginable.

The only consolation here is that he’s polling at 0%, even in his own state.

This guy is an unbelievable jaggof.

Still developing but 22-year-old Brian Isaack Clyde started shooting outside the federal courthouse and was taken down permanently by armed Federal Officers.

Damn, how come we have his name this fast?

It makes you wonder.

My gun from Wilson Combat was delivered to West Chester, Ohio.

I am in Huntsville and Wilson Combat is in Arkansas.  How it ended up in Ohio is something the woman I’ve talked to at UPS cannot explain.

Here is my supposition:

I told the people at UPS on Friday I would be reporting this to both the Huntsville Police and ATF, and that they should remind the UPS employees at the facility that stealing a gun is a 10-year minimum sentence.

I called UPS and let corporate know that they lost my gun, that went up a few layers of management.

So I have the feeling that some UPS employee tried to pocket my gun and at a morning meeting on Saturday, realized he done fucked up and didn’t want to get caught with the evidence, and so then tried to make it disappear by sending back into the system.

Now the question is, can UPS recover my package from Ohio and get it back to me?

It goes to McThag:

Wanna thump your chest from then out? You’d better have a “I Voted” sticker.

Word.

History is enlightening. As much as we want to portray ourselves better than those who came before us,  the sad truth is by far, very little has changed in the human heart, be it goodness or depravity.  History also teaches us that there are consequences for stupid actions and you as elected official and chief law enforcement of a state, should not abuse your power.

In 1892 the State of South Carolina instituted the Dispensary system for liquor under pressure of Governor Benjamin Tillman. It was simply a monopoly on the sale of booze by the state and sold as a compromise between those who wanted absolute Prohibition (Ban all the alcohols! Does it sound familiar) and the People who just wanted to have his hooch at home, bought where it was the cheapest and  unimpeded by government.

As a good government monopoly, it was not fond of the idea that the good citizens of the State would ignore the law and it created a liquor constabulary which was in charge of enforcing the law and what eventually led to a wee bit of problem: Make sure people had only the authorized booze at home and do what needs to be done in those cases.   Soon enough they were no longer constables but renamed Spies and on the month of April 1894, the people of Darlington had enough of that crap, bad blood finally came to the surface, shots were fired, citizens died  and they chased the Spies at gunpoint out of their town and into the woods.

The bottom part of the picture is telling: Governor Tillman called the State Militia (This is before the Dick Act so not yet National Guard as we know today) and the State Militia refused. Not only refused, but they disbanded and threatened to leave the doors of their armories open so people come and take the guns.

Eventually calm returned, the dispensary system remained but it was not effective and it also became (what a surprise) a den of corruption.  In 1907 the system closed at state level but counties were given the choice to keep it.  In 1915 a state referendum voted for Prohibition and we know the rest of that story.

I m guessing history of the 19th Century can give us a light idea how to solve those little problems we still face in our advanced 21st Century

Here is a PDF of the newspaper page of that screen capture. It has more details of the event if you wish to read it.

Homelessness is an addiction crisis disguised as a housing crisis. In Seattle, prosecutors and law enforcement recently estimated that the majority of the region’s homeless population is hooked on opioids, including heroin and fentanyl. If this figure holds constant throughout the West Coast, then at least 11,000 homeless opioid addicts live in Washington, 7,000 live in Oregon, and 65,000 live in California (concentrated mostly in San Francisco and Los Angeles). For the unsheltered population inhabiting tents, cars, and RVs, the opioid-addiction percentages are even higher—the City of Seattle’s homeless-outreach team estimates that 80 percent of the unsheltered population has a substance-abuse disorder. Officers must clean up used needles in almost all the homeless encampments.

An Addiction Crisis Disguised as a Housing Crisis

Ignoring or rebranding the problem never helps and this is one that is now flooding and destroying cities.

The addicted homeless is nothing new. You can safely go back to the 80s when the problem began to get bad and see the reaction from the Liberal side and which has been the script ever since: The homeless are by far poor families thrown out in the streets by the economic policies of the Republicans and Capitalism  with a smattering of Vietnam Vets dealing with problems. Junkies? Never mentioned. We even had a full fledged “Hollywood Cares!” virtual signaling in the form of HBO’s Comic Relief, fund-raiser shows with comedians donating time and jokes to provide a family of NY Okies a place to live so they wouldn’t have to keep living in their Model T in rest area of the New Jersey Turnpike.

And then there was the strange issue of what I call the Disappearing Homeless: The moment a Democrat was elected President, the homeless problems in America seemed to disappear from the Media. You could not find but a very few local articles in the printed press and probably because the state or local administrations were not Blue. But the moment a Republican won the White House? Dear God! Homeless all over the place! How is it that this people do not care? And I am not kidding about the timing, George W. Bush was barely sworn in as President and within hours there was at least article berating him about the homeless.

We know the great maxim from Scarface: “Don’t get high on your own supply.” Unfortunately the Liberal Intelligentsia does not comprehend this and since they branded the Addict Problem as a Homeless Problem, the solution then is to provide them with a place to shoot up sleep. If they have a “home” they are no longer homeless and the problem will disappear, right?

Welcome to abandoned RVs and Tent Cities.

Let me reiterate the “Don’t get high on your own supply” part of Liberal Intelligentsia: that last photo comes from a news item from radio station  KUOW of Seattle where the recommendation from Homeless Task Force about Tent Cities like this is to create more Tent Cities.

The packaging of the addicts into tarps, nylon and abandoned vehicles has not solved the problem of rampant drug abuse. They are not addicts because they do not have a home, they do not have a home or families or any kind of worthwhile belongings because they are untreated addicts.

This is literally government pouring rainbow sprinkles over a turd so it can pass the “WE CARE AND DID SOMETHING” test so they can feel good about themselves and get more taxpayer’s money.

Hat Tip Steven T.

And no, apparently it is not a troll account.
