The Irony is Lost

The state has been relying on “expert witnesses” who are attempting to prove that early firearms do not have the capacity of modern firearms. Why you need “expert” witnesses to prove this is hard to understand. But the notion that our constitution only protects things in existence 200 years ago is odd when the argument is taking place in a courtroom filled with computers and flat screen TV’s, fed by the internet, and protected by metal detectors.

Add a Catch-22 on “ripeness” and you get a feel for what they’re up against.

Meanwhile, the Republicans continue to hold fast on denyng a quorum, so “Attaboys” to them.

I’d pay him more heed if his idea of a Republican to support wasn’t Mitt Romney, and if he hadn’t supported Carolyn B. Maloney, Charlie Rangel, and Jerrold Nadler, if he hadn’t put on a fundraiser in 2006 with Michael Bloomberg for Senator Joe Lieberman, and if he wasn’t a “longtime”, “loyal”, and “high-level Clinton donor.”

Sounds to me like when the tumbrels come, he’ll have earned his place.

Nothing In Garbage Out

OpenAI has been slapped with its first-ever defamation lawsuit after a ChatGPT “hallucination” generated a bogus embezzlement complaint against a Georgia radio host, according to a lawsuit. Mark Walters was shocked to learn ChatGPT created a false case that accused him of “defrauding and embezzling” funds from the Second Amendment Foundation… [More]

It sounded like it was hallucinating — or its programmers were — when I talked to it

‘White Women’ Prove Claim That ‘No One Wants to Take Your Guns’ is a Lie

And that’s what these stupid, sheltered white women have been swindled into believing they want – an executive order that “includes a total ban on all guns and a comprehensive, mandatory buyback program.” You don’t have to read any more of the proposal after that—you got the crux of it. [More]

Thanks to impatient radicals coming right out and saying it, no one can any longer deny that “common sense gun safety” is code for “Ban and confiscate all guns.” Well, they can, but they’ll demonstrably be lying.

Time for a Change

Yesterday, the state presented an “expert” witness who hilariously claimed that it takes 5 seconds or more to change a magazine. This false and absurd statement was made in an effort to convince the court that low capacity magazines will protect people in mass shootings by giving them time to run away. [More]

A moron presenting himself as an expert testifying that an abomination bent on slaughter would nonetheless obey magazine restrictions did not result in his being laughed out of the courtroom? Who is this guy?
