Thomas Paine’s was the name I tripped up on as a quote source.
I knew that. I get going in a bunch of different directions and the old brain’s file retrieval system gets jammed sometimes.
I note the announcement does not include the SHORT Act being included in the House version. I’ve heard some stuff about that I may be sharing in a few days if I can confirm.
What will the Senate do? Gut feel: A critical mass of Dems love our money more than they our hate guns. And let’s not let this potential “win” on guns blind us to the existential dangers of out of control government spending to advance powers nowhere delegated.
Looks like I may have been wrong for being so negative about HPA’s chances.
Hey… does this mean I can dig up the Chore Boy…?

Silencers are “used to conceal the fact that you are firing a weapon,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.). “There will be more crimes committed, more people killed” if the current bill passes. [More]
They don’t and there won’t be.
Sensible Birthright Citizenship [More]
I’ll go along with #1.
And further think admitting anyone “legally” and naturalizing them should only be done if it helps “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
I understand children aren’t responsible for the decisions of their parents.
Neither are we.

“Actual knowledge” shall become the “default” requirement for regulations, and “strict liability” will be the exception to the rule and must have a justification for such included as part of the rule-making. [More]
So… no more SWAT raids over century-old fences…?

A New Hampshire man who was heralded as the first black sheriff in the state’s history was sentenced on Monday to 3 1/2 years in prison for squandering $19,000 of taxpayers’ money on expensive getaways with multiple love interests — and then lying to investigators about what he’d done. [More]
I guess he had to work twice as hard at being a corrupt piece of s…

This George Floyd documentary gives people a look at the ‘lies’ [Watch]
Evil people in power ordered a controlled burn that is still endangering their scapegoats, that is, those of us they smear as white supremacists deserving of whatever “restorative justice” those who act on the lies choose to mete out.

And the DA, a Democrat who boasts of her support by Demanding Moms, will decide if she wants to file charges.

Rollins noted that the “fence that was put up in 1910 by Charles’s great-great grandad that no one ever thought there was a problem”… “That’s [all?] they hear of it until agents in SWAT gear show up at their front door and say that they are being criminally charged for theft of government property that they need to find guardians for their young children because they are likely going to jail”… [More]
Anybody see any “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings” in all this…?

Disgusting, alright. Evil mother_r couldn’t even spell her name right…
I’m trying to think if there is anyone in politics more contemptible.

Do You Have to Serialized Your Unserialized Firearm in Washington State? [Watch]
He says “Yes.” I say it’s a choice, albeit one with risks that can be mitigated with prudent behaviors.
I get tired of this guy’s defeatist titles. I know as an officer of the court he can’t be out there preaching another great American tradition, but he doesn’t have to go full-on “Resistance is futile – You will be assimilated” Borg.
We all get they say we have to and will punish us if they catch us and have the upper hand.
Ultimately, there’s always another answer to “”Throw down your arms, ye villains, ye Rebels, Disperse!” and that prospect terrifies those making the demand, who understand their would-be victims aren’t the only ones with personal risks. That explains why government predators pick isolated easy targets and haven’t done confiscations on a mass scale, and that means, battered and vilified as it may be, the Second Amendment is still working.

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is calling for an IRS investigation into a startling allegation made by former NRA President and Second Amendment champion Marion Hammer in a federal lawsuit in which she says an attorney representing the Brady gun control group allegedly offered her $5 million to “retire and cease advancing the interests of the NRA and defending the Second Amendment”… “This is not the kind of offer a tax exempt organization should be making under any circumstances” … [More]
Hopefully there’s documentation. What a hoot it would be to see them have their 501(c)(4) classification revoked, and one of their mouthpieces get disbarred over ethics.
Three years ago, Detective Daniel Leyden shot and killed his girlfriend, Deputy Abigail Bieber, before turning the gun and killing himself. It was the third murder-suicide involving Hillsborough County deputies within five years. [More]
And the LEO/”civilian” divide isn’t just localized.
Just think of all the situations and places where they can have a gun and you can’t. Then ask yourself what the state is unleashing on the rest of us.
