Florida’s AG Pam Bondi suffers a bout of Foot-In-Mouth disease.
Florida AG Says Carrying a Gun is Always Presumably a Crime | All Nine Yards.
“Given the small percentage of the population that is licensed to carry a concealed firearm, the overwhelming majority of firearms, or 95%, are not licensed to be concealed. Thus, an officer’s suspicion that a firearm is not licensed would be reasonable because, in any given case, there would be, statistically speaking, a 95% likelihood of illegality.”
Wait, what? Oh Jesus Lord, what a dumb statement! Are we to assume that since about 50% of Florida’s population have unregistered, unlicensed vaginas, they should be suspects of the crime of prostitution?
The Stupid, It hurts!
Damn…. I was supposed to blog about something deep and important
But I’ve been busy all day plus being a carnivore. Had the smoker going for 12 hours and it is still going but a pork shoulder came out spilling juiciness and happiness for the family.
The slop alone was simple masterpiece: commercial BBQ sauce with about 2 spoonfuls of rub and about a cup of orange juice. OJ goes amazingly with pork and you may want to give it a try.
Now if you excuse me, the couch awaits!
On Gun Culture 2.0
This post from Robb at Sharp as a Marble got me thinking. Yes, there is a new generation of people coming into the culture and they are amazingly free of the crap we went through.
We run the risk of sounding crotchety with the new guys & gals. We dedicated ourselves to fight the old anti-freedom dragons, they are on their way out and that is good but we must realize that the new generation does not know about it and some won’t even care. Let’s not make the mistake of resenting them because if it but enjoy it because it is precisely what we were looking for: normalcy.
What we need to do is support them into being safe shooters, know the risks and responsibilities that come with owning and carrying firearms and, if we are lucky we will find some that will understand history and will take over the legal & legislative ramparts keeping watch on the barbarians while we retire to our “rocking chairs,” provide snarky advice from the porch and repeat ad nauseam “We used to do that shit better. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with kids nowadays.”
And we will have to deal with them calling us Fudds or its equivalent in the future. It is a fair trade in my opinion.
CSGV: Learn Law, Learn English and Be Less Violent.
Just fresh off the Facebook:
So, if you print a gun with your printer (since they are not being specific about being a 3D printing) you are suddenly breaking the law?
So here is me breaking the law according to the Cult to Stop Gun Rights Violence:
Next, on the question if it is legal to build your own gun:
(A6) Does the GCA prohibit anyone from making a handgun, shotgun or rifle?
With certain exceptions a firearm may be made by a non-licensee provided it is not for sale and the maker is not prohibited from possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semi-automatic rifle or non-sporting shotgun from imported parts. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and approval by ATF. An application to make a machine gun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for a Federal or State agency.
[18 U.S.C. 922(o) and (r), 26 U.S.C. 5822, 27 CFR 478.39, 479.62 and 479.105]
So CSGV can shut its pie hole on that aspect.
And why is Daddy Goddard so violent? Shameful that he is wishing that somebody meets a Violent Gun Death; I thought he was against Gun Violence.
GFZ: The Contest!
You may already have seen the infamous photo of yours ugly truly with the poster:
No, you are not getting the poster, I am keeping it plus I already ordered a frame for it. But you can get an “genui-nine” version of the poster in decal mode for your car, bike or wherever your significant other allows you to.
Five stickers for five winners. The rules are convoluted; why? because I say so.
1) You must not have attended the GRPC 2012. If you did and did not get one, it is your fault.
2) You need to submit a picture of yourself carrying either (concealed or open) in front or very nearby a posted Gun Free Zone. Under NO circumstance you are to break the law. The sticker alone will not pay for your bail and neither will I.
3) With the picture, send me a note of your equipment and some short lines about why you carry and/or your opinion on Gun Free Zones.
4) Don’t blur your face. If you do not want your face to appear, be creative with either a prop or cropping the picture. I can do the cropping if you want to.
5) At least one sticker will go to a Dragon Lady. Preference goes to readers of the blog and then to Significant Others/Mothers/Sisters/Girlfriends, etc.
6) I will select the winners on my criteria alone which is….for me to know and you to find out. OK, the ones I like the most.
7) Contest will run until October 31st at midnight. That means Halloween Costume Carry is valid…. God have mercy on me.
8) One photo per person please. Send your submissions to miguel AT gunfreezone DOT net. I will publish the winners on November 1st here in the blog. Winners will be asked to provide me with a mailing address so I can mail the stickers.
That’ll be all. Keep Calm & Carry.
CSGV and an interesting choice of word.
The “making a gun at home” outrage is now making the rounds amongst the Gun Control crowd. They are about 5 years or so too late since it was commonplace among AK enthusiasts to buy a parts kit, an AK flat (a piece of flat metal cut and drilled which later could be bent and heat treated thus becoming an AK receiver) and assemble your own rifle. It still had to follow the provision is ATF 992R and even parties were thrown where people got together and rented the necessary tools to bend the receivers (the owner of the receiver was the one that had to do the bending otherwise it would be illegal) and assemble the rifles. ATF put a skosh on that when it prohibited the importation of kits with barrels in 2005. Available barrels from overseas went from $65 to over $200 almost overnight and that is if you can find one. Tell me again about government regulations helping middle class & the poor.
The Gun Control crowd loves to characterize Gun Owners as a bunch of uneducated rednecks so it must have shocked the hell out of them when one of them rednecks actually created a functional AR-Type firearm from a 3D printer. I love when they keep underestimating us.
The Cult to Stop Gun Rights Violence is happy that a similar effort was stopped when the company that leased the 3D printer reclaimed it. But that is not even the interesting part of CSGV’s post but the choice of one particular word:
According to Merriam-Webster:
Reclaim: to demand or obtain the return of. To recall from wrong or improper conduct.
Confiscate: appropriated by the government.
And one more definition:
Freudian Slip: an inadvertent mistake in speech or writing that is thought to reveal a person’s unconscious motives, wishes, or attitudes.
Need I say more?
