Notes from the Resistance
The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup.

But with just over two months before the first round of voting, opinion surveys widely show Brazilians think they’d be better off without Bolsonaro. Frustration over the spiraling cost of living has propelled Lula to lead the race by more than 10 percentage points. [More]
And what will be one of the first things Lula does when he’s back in power…?
You can find out who the GOP turncoats are via the House Clerk’s recorded votes tally to see if your representative made the Dishonor Roll, either because he’s negligently ignorant, because he’s a proven embedded enemy (like the 15 Republican co-sponsors who have betrayed us before), or because he’s a pandering coward dumb enough to believe this will earn him media props and kudos from “our friends across the aisle” for being reasonable.

With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018. [More]
Purchasing two handguns, actually, if anyone in authority is interested in, you know, investigating. And for each instance:
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.
Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.
I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.

“This epidemic is costing our nation $557 billion annually,” says Sarah Burd-Sharps, research director at the gun control advocacy group. “Looking at the economic consequence offers a wider lens for understanding just how extensive — and expensive — this crisis is.” [More]
Oh, heck, it costs a lot more than that if you add how the overwhelming majority of perps have been subsidized parasites to predators from cradle to grave.
Funny though– they never seem to want to factor in benefits accrued through lives saved by defensive gun uses…
