Gun Free Zone

And that will be my only comment about it.

Prepare accordingly.

Florida Representatives must be upset with both HB 1409 and SB 1844 pushing forward that they decided to file some very weird and venomous amendments on the House side. Links to the amendments included below.

Amendment 182293  by Smith, C. Victims of gun violence can sue Gun Lobbyists. (F*** the First and the Second Amendments)

Amendment 447645  by Eskamani: Firearms Preemption only applies in rural counties.

Amendment 121497 by Robinson, F: Firearms Preemption only applies “in cities with fewer than 100 residents,”

Amendment 809263 by Daley: Anybody shot in the state of Florida may bring an action against the state because it failed to protect him/her.

Amendment  124287 by Hardy (This one I have to quote for the stupid): “The amendments made by this act shall not apply until 365 consecutive days have passed without an incident in the state in which three or more persons were killed or injured by the use of a firearm.”

I pretty much doubt that they will be passed and probably they will be laughed out of the floor. At best it will be an attempt to run out the clock and let the bill die. We’ll see.

Guilty on all charges.

This is going to go to appeal.  Even the judge agreed that Maxine Waters was a bad influence.

Police will quit en masse, there is no reason to be a cop anymore.

Self defense is done.  “It’s better to be judged by twelve than carried by six” means nothing.  You will not get a fair trial, the mob will have you convicted and executed.

Mob rule is now how our judicial system operates.

We are a civilization in rapid decline to banana republic status.

SB 1884 – Preemption of Firearms and Ammunition Regulation

Preemption of Firearms and Ammunition Regulation: Providing that written or unwritten policies are subject to provisions allowing for recovery of damages if such policies violate specified provisions; providing that a plaintiff challenging a local government regulation concerning firearms is considered a prevailing plaintiff for certain purposes in specified circumstances, etc.

Read the text.

I saw this one streamed live. The only non-legislator to speak was a representative of the National Organization for Women expressing her displeasure for the bill and pre-emption in general.  That she looked and talked like a pissed off mother-in-law who just woke up, did not help making her palatable.

I do not have the vote count yet, but I would not be surprised if it went along party lines. (I’ll update) And once again, I guess it goes to the floor.

I am having this unsettling feeling of optimism growing in the pit of my stomach that we may get two pro gun bills this year.

Votes: YEAS 11 NAYS 5. Along party lines, one Democrat did not vote.

First it was Maxine Waters:

Then the Mayor of Minneapolis:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey:

“Regardless of the decision made by the jury, there is one true reality, which is that George Floyd was killed at the hands of police."

Now President Joe Biden:

Democrats are generating a mountain of fodder for an appeal if Chauvin is convicted.

I’d go so far as to say that it could be reasonably argued that Chauvin could not be retried because the President weighed in and poisoned the entire country as a jury pool.

Arguably it will be impossible to impanel an impartial jury for a second trial when the most popular President ever declared the defendant guilty from the podium of the Whitehouse.

These Democrats are going their absolute best to destroy the judicial and make it a partisan persecution system and it might backfire on them.

If I had lumber futures I might want to incite riots too.
