If Only We Didn’t Have Rights…

Recent operations by the FBI and prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice has led to federal convictions for Florida residents accused of buying high-powered guns to arm the gangs in Haiti… “These international gangs and these criminal organizations have very sophisticated means and networks to be able to facilitate smuggling, whether it’s through shipments, out of the ports, airlines, different things like that…” [More]

Why would they need to?

I notice how it is “international gangs” are in this country in the first place is left unexplored.

Better to let NBC News of rigged flaming truck notoriety blame DeSantis…

Who Will Judge the Judge?

This puts journalists in an interesting position. If I reach out to the neighbor for her side of the story, a judge can jail Jeremy. In essence, a judge in Florida is restricting the right of the press to get to the heart of a story through threats of removing the liberty of the subject of the story… One of the worst things the judge has done to Jeremy and his girlfriend is to restrict Jeremy’s movements on his own property without hearing the facts of the case…Worse, his Second Amendment rights have been removed with no evidentiary hearing to decide if he is actually a threat. Meanwhile, he says he’s been threatened by the neighbor and her associates with all manner of bodily harm. He is also prohibited from hiring security due to the injunction, as he cannot be around anyone with guns. [More]

That would be Judge Craig C. DeThomasis, a DeSantis appointee.

At least we know where to turn up the heat.

Real Culprit Identified!

White gunman who shot three Black victims legally acquired weapons after Ron DeSantis recently allowed permitless carry [More]

Yeah, I remember how thrilled we all were when Ohio passed a similar law saying “Constitutional carry” meant we could also murder groups we hate after being involuntarily committed and released!

Not Your Father’s Political Campaign

Nolte: Ron DeSantis’s First Act as a Presidential Candidate Was to Ignore Establishment Media [More]

I know everybody is laughing at the technical glitches. That’s to distract focus from how revolutionary bypassing the DSM and making them come to you on your terms is, and how that terrifies those who are starting to realize the implications.

Let Him Eat Cake

Ron DeSantis staff eating cake while Floridians are in crisis. [More]

Sometimes ignoring an aggressive dog and letting it know you don’t think it’s important enough to notice can make it rethink if it really wants to attack you. Of course, if you’re going to try this, I recommend also being able to kick its @$$ if that doesn’t work.

I just wanted to equate these subversive losers with dogs.

And I guess that means an apology will be expected: to dogs.

An Age-Old Question

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday backed an effort to lower the statewide age requirement to purchase a rifle, calling a current law that bars 18-year-olds from buying firearms “unconstitutional.” [More]

That’s because it is.

I wonder how many Democrats howling in indignant rage over this support lowering the voting age to 16…

The Enemy Within

Caught On Tape! Florida’s 2A Committee Chair Against Constitutional Carry w/GOA’s Luis Valdez [Watch]

And on top of that, he’s got an insufferable “Only Ones” mentality.

With the latest DeSantis disconnect it seems like Florida Republicans are going out of their way to alienate gun owners.

And not just Florida Republicans…

UPDATE

Firearms News has the whole story direct from GOA.

There’s a Difference Between ‘Antisemitic’ and ‘Antisubversive’

In rally for Lee Zeldin tonight, FL Gov. DeSantis invoked Jewish billionaire George Soros, who’s been the target of antisemitic tropes [More]

It’s nice to see that little bit of public whining so succinctly backfire in that smug @$$hole’s face.

Looking for That Dime’s Worth of Difference

Someone inside the event didn’t like the sign Mr. Rose was holding and had the City of Alachua Police approach Mr. Rose to tell him to leave because it was a private event. [More]

I guess if you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t feel free to ignore the First.

So some tight-@$$ed Vichycon at a DeSantis event, rather than doing the right thing and living up to that fidelity to the Second Amendment he makes such great political hay over, decided instead to channel their inner “progressive” snitch and sic the jackboots on a patriot?

And we’re supposed to just forget about this?

He’s Made His Bed

DeSantis creates illegal gun-free zone during Alachua fundraiser [More]

Someone should have gone armed and forced the issue, perhaps by calling the sheriff and issuing an on-the-spot complaint against private security violating Florida law.

Mark Walters and I talked about this, and we both agreed DeSantis had it in his power to make everything right. He had time to do just that and instead opted to hope nobody noticed and/or the ones that didn’t wouldn’t be showstoppers.

That he did not rectify things should be considered a huge strike against him. It’s curious that none of his starry-eyed supporters wanted to reply:

Or Said Another Way…

Joy Reid says DeSantis warning to looters in Ian’s aftermath is like racist threat from ‘segregationist’ [More]

So who is she saying they are most likely to be?

Funny thing about some of the biggest “equity” bellyachers…

Let me guess: She just had to work ten times harder than everyone with privilege.

Nullifying the Nullifier

“We are suspending Soros-backed 13th circuit state attorney Andrew Warren for neglecting his duties as he pledges not to uphold the laws of the state,” DeSantis’ office said in a statement… “The constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the governor, not in state attorneys,” DeSantis said. “We are not going to allow this pathogen of ignoring the law get a foothold in the state of Florida.” [More]

Unlike California…

Meanwhile, the gal who wants your guns cries “Dictator!”

Who Will Arm the Guards?

Governor Ron DeSantis Unveils the Florida State Guard [More]

You know, what effete (and secretly jealous) anti-gun males armed only with Alinsky Rule 5 snark think they’re being clever ridiculing as “the vigilante militia“…

I’ll need to see the plan though, because as regular readers of my Firearms News columns know:

Speaking of free states, while the power to raise armies is the purview of the Congress, state defense forces were established by some (17 plus Puerto Rico), but not all states, to be deployed within a state. The State Guard Association of the United States exists “to advocate for the advancement and support of regulated state military forces established by state governments,” [but] don’t look for teeth to match the mission statement. The last two defense force units, the Ohio Military Reserve and the Tennessee State Guard, were the last units trained for deployment with issued weapons, but no more. The Tennessee Guard’s role is now to provide unarmed support to the National Guard during deployment, with organized firearms-related activities are limited to marksmanship competitions. What was once the Ohio Military Reserve, formally a military police unit, was reorganized to provide emergency management support and of late has been assisting food banks during the COVID-19 scare by packing, transporting and distributing food and serving meals. State guard units are examples of the organized militia.

I’d like to see the Florida plan fleshed out. Who will be armed and when, and what will the rules be?
