Gun Free Zone

All politics are local. And the consequences will eventually affect the country.

The election fraud and mishandling we are seeing the Democrats use with so much profit are always at local level. There is no Federal mandate that allows for the shenanigans. Can they be countered/ Sure, but it will take time and willing patience. Look at Florida: From the shitshow of the 2000 election and the hanging chad which made the state the electoral joke of the country, now it is the gold standard for elections. You have to be an absolute deranged Liberal to claim cheating was done in the Sunshine State and not even the best of the best Tin-Foil Hatters on the Left would buy it. I do believe no important Democrat is even daring to hint Republicans fudged with voting other than the occasional race-bater claiming Black voter suppression which is laughable.

That leads us to Arizona where we still don’t know what the hell is going on. If Noah had taken this long to count animals into the Ark, they all would have drowned, or God would have had to postpone the Flood. It boggles the mind that the Democrat candidate running for governor is the same person in charge of the elections.

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.

No matter who is the winner, the local GOP has to come with a battery of lawyers and sue the living shit out of the state and reform the election process in the state. And that needs to be repeated in every state where the election process seems a bit iffy (Pennsylvania elects a salad bar and a dead guy? really?).

Next in the agenda is the 2024 presidential elections. If I had a choice, this is what I would like to see.

1) DeSantis does not participate and finishes a strong governor. He needs to make sure Florida politically becomes what California is for the Democrats if nothing else to balance the scales. And that will give him a resume that cannot be challenged by the usual idiots from the Media and the Democrats. Plus, he can deal with reporters better than Trump ever did.

2) Biden goes for the re-election… actually he is allowed to go for re-election. That is iffy at the moment and even more so as he still has 2 years left to fuck up even bigger. But the more he fucks up, the better politically.

3) Trump runs again. Why? He will either crash spectacularly because of his mouth and attitude or actually win and we get rid of the Child Sniffer in the White House. His attack against DeSantis was stupid and the fact that the Governor took the high road and did not reply was the best thing that can happen and hurt 45 more than anybody else. As I said it before, Trump has no chance without Florida and attacking DeSantis was a political stunt that may have worked 6 years agon against a field of RINOs candidates, not a proven conservative governor who stood pretty much alone against the Federal government and won. The other good thing about Trump running is that he will become the shit lightning rod for the Left and Lackeys leaving DeSantis pretty much alone till his time comes to go for the White House.

I have some other thoughts, but this is getting too long, and your cup of java needs a refill anyway.  Feel free to comment yay or nay.

I try to go to the gym and thank God for remote starters. That is frost, damn it!

Seriously? You guys call this fall? 21 frigging degrees? Are we trying to imitate Montana or Wyoming?

At this rate we may have to consider moving to Boca Raton after we retire.

Fellow American Jews, it’s time to get your game faces on.

Something happened this weekend.  There was a change in the wind of antisemitism. It’s stronger and more pervasive than I’ve ever seen in the US, and it’s coming from major figures in the popular culture.

The economy is dog shit.

The election was a cluster-fuck.

Our currency is worth less by the day.

There is a palpable air of pessimism about the state of our nation.

And when things get bad, people like to blame the Jews.

In recent America, overt antisemitism was unpopular.  Now it’s being normalized.

The way Kanye West’s antisemitic rants were taken by the pop culture was very differently than Mel Gibson’s over a decade ago.

Then Dave Chapelle backed them up on SNL.

Even if you’re one of the many people, Jews included, who have the opinion “that’s just the sort of shit that gets said in comedy clubs all the time, don’t have such thin skin.”  Chapelle gave license for other more hard-core antisemites to come out of the woodwork..

The amount of chatter on the internet about how the Jews control everything, are destroying our nation, and punish anyone who says anything about it is as loud as I’ve ever seen it.

I recognize this chapter from the history books.

What is coming down the pipe is very bad.

Be prepared.

If you don’t have a gun, guns, lots of guns and a shitload of ammo, rectify your situation.

Get lessons.  Learn to shoot.  Practice.

You will need it.

This is the alleged quote President Andrew Jackson (D) when the Supreme Court decided Worcester v. Georgia

Worcester v. Georgia was about a law in Georgia which required state permission for a non native (Indian) to be on native lands. Worcester was a minister that lived with the Indians, was translating the bible into Cherokee, and in general trying to do good things. This was prior to the Trail of Tears.

The court found that it was unconstitutional and ordered Worcester freed. The state of Georgia refused. The federal government did nothing and the Supreme Court did not request federal law enforcement to do anything.

Due to a multitude of changes this was never pushed to an extreme and in 1832 Jackson said that the Supreme Court was the final say in what is Constitutional. Prior to that declaration, Jackson believed that the President and the Supreme Court were equal in that judgement.

So the question comes up, over and over again, what if the Supreme court decides that some part of gun control is unconstitutional and the states continue to enforce those laws?

Consider the following, somebody decides to make a select fire AR-15. I.e. they drill the fourth hole and put in all the right parts. They never take the gun out of state, they never cross state lines, they don’t do anything criminal with that firearm other than possessing it.

A state, like Connecticut, New Jersey, New York or California, arrests and charges this person under their assault weapons ban.

Instead of attacking just the assault weapons ban our defendant decides to attack the NFA and the AWB at the same time. Because the feds are lined up to prosecute him for the machine gun if the state doesn’t put him away. There is precedent for people being heard in court over the possibility of being charged. In first amendment cases this is called “a chilling effect”.

If you don’t know if a particular statement is protected speech you are unlikely to speak in fear of being prosecuted. So even if the law doesn’t explicitly deam your speech “illegal” the fact that it could be stretched to do so is enough for it to be considered an infringement of your rights.

This is the issue with “hate speech” regulations. Hate speech is always in the eyes of the victim. As such there is no way to know prior to making the statement how that person will interpret that word.

That exists right here, right now. If I put that word “here” to say that this word is currently considered hate speech, that one word could be used to label this entire site as “full of hate speech.” There was a professor that was on a overnight class trip. His students asked him a question and he responded using that word to say “don’t use ‘word'” Him saying don’t use it got him fired and canceled.

Regardless, in our example if it happens in California then the 9th circus hears the case and immediately decides that all is constitutional. The cases on the east coast go to different circuit courts which have already shown a tendency to believe that the state is right in balancing needs.

So it ends up in the Supreme Court where Justice Thomas gets to write another slapdown of the gun controllers.

The regent for Joe Biden, President for life, makes the statement “Hell Yes, we are taking those guns!” The gun infringing states then refuse to acknowledge the Supreme Court opinion.

Thus the court can not get the federal government to intervene nor is the federal government going to send in the troops to enforce anything.

And here is where it gets dicey. We the People of these United States have given the government temporary power in limited form. We are not subjects. We are citizens.

First I expect there to be a huge amount of civil disobedience. Currently Connecticut is experiencing the larges act of civil disobedience known in the US. The number of “assault weapons” that were registered under the requirements of their AWB.

So there will be civil disobedience. Second, there are still a large number of Law Enforcement Officers that do believe in the constitution. They will refuse to enforce.

Finally, there will be deaths.

In the novel Friday by Robert A. Heinlein the constable got an “illegal” order and decided it was the right thing to do to go investigate and arrest. He “rushed” Friday and ended up dead.

There are going to be “go getter” types that want to do the gun grab. For some of them there will be death instead. For some gun owners there will be death. And it will get bloody.

We’ve been covering how some judges are adhering to the Bruen decision and others are not.  The ones that are not are distinct in that they all seem to be stretching to find something that isn’t there or to find a way to invert the rules.

Before Bruen, the Second Amendment looked like an abandoned cabin in the woods. A knot of vines, weeds, and roots, left unkempt for decades, crawling up the cabin’s sides as if pulling it under the earth. Firearm regulations are that overgrowth. Starting with the Federal Firearms Act in 1938, laws were passed with little—if any—consideration given to their constitutionality. That is, until the Supreme Court intervened in Bruen.

What a wonderful turn of phrase.

He is right. For the longest time the second was treated as the red haired stepchild. There is no other right that has had so many restrictions put on it. There is no other right which has been so “balanced” by government wants. The second was treated as a might have run.

As people that are not involved in the criminal court system we look to avoid being embroiled in the law. I.e. we want to be law abiding people. We also want to be able to defend ourselves and our family. That means we want laws that allow us to keep and bear arms freely.

Laws that create a legal minefield of where we can carry and where we can not are designed to make it so hard to carry legally that we just don’t. You are going to stop at the Post Office after work? Is it worth it to carry today then?

I’ve had a courthouse guard hassle me because I had a holster on my hip. No gun. Just the holster.

I want this to stop. I think that you want it to stop as well.

But the Bruen opinion bites much deeper than “just leave us alone.” It is going to roll back many of the gun control laws.

In United States of America v. Litsson Antonio Perez-Gallan another part of the Gun control laws took a hit. And this one will start the fall of red flag laws. U.S. District Judge David Counts ordered that Perez-Gallan’s petition to dismiss be granted.

Perez-Gallan was being charged with being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. He was called “prohibited” because there was a restraining order against him.

That’s it. Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) it is a crime to possess a firearm while subject to a court order.

The gist of Judge Count’s order is that 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) is unconstitutional.

This would mean that all Red Flag laws are also unconstitutional.

As the judge stated, until 1994 there was no law prohibiting a person under court order from possessing a firearm. This is not within the history or tradition of the second amendment in 1791.

All cases attacking 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) have been denied because of standing. They happened prior to the Heller opinion in 2008. Thus the courts ruled that the “right to bear arms” was a collective right.

It is likely that over the next dozen years or so we are going to see the gutting of the GCA and the NFA. Regardless of the games that the gun rights infringers continue to play.

Man Fatally Shoots Neighbor’s Dog in Fairfax County: Police

A man shot and killed his neighbor’s dog during an argument at a condominium complex in Centreville, Virginia, Friday morning, police say.

The two neighbors were at an outside stairwell with their respective dogs at the complex in the 13300 block of Connor Drive, Fairfax County police said. At one point, the suspect took out a gun and shot the other man’s dog, police said.

Then, the injured dog’s owner picked up his 2-year-old lab-beagle mix and laid it on the grass at an outside common area near a playground. According to police, the suspect followed the man and shot the dog several more times.

“There is a history here with the neighbors. The gentleman that did the shooting has a Pitbull that’s possibly in the apartment as well,” police said during a dispatch call.

A violent garbage human who owns a violent garbage dog also snaps and kills an innocent beagle puppy.

You know how I feel about pitbulls.  Well, thid pitbull owner deserves just as much of a yeeting, and for the same reason.

Always carry.
