That’s One Less Obstacle for the Totalitarians to Overrun

It’s about official as it can get. Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp has made a deal with the Democrats and you are on the chopping block. Personally made firearms will be banned under Knopp’s sell out and while there is some talk of getting something on the record that it will not apply to AR style uppers, we have no reason to think they are actually going to change the language of the bill to clarify that.

Yeah, throw the circling jackals a scrap of flesh. That’ll make ’em go away!

One thought on “That’s One Less Obstacle for the Totalitarians to Overrun”

I’ve posted this online before, but it is still relevant.

A family friend is a bit to the left of center and is rabidly anti-Trump. Yet he also owns a pretty good selection of guns

We try to avoid political discussions because they can get quite irrational and heated. But one day he said something that stopped me in my tracks. I had just pointed out that his hero Joe Biden would happily ban every gun he owned.

He replied, “Marijuana has been illegal since long before I was born, but I’ve been smoking it my entire adult life. What makes you think I give a f**k what gun laws Joe Biden passes?”

IOW, the moonshiners and pot growers from his neck of the woods will happily go about their lives as they see fit, ignoring new gun laws just as happily as they ignore laws on pot and illegal whiskey.

Americans are a perverse tribe. They do things they want to do even if they’ve been told not to. Sometimes they do things they kinda didn’t want to do BECAUSE they’ve been told not to. Consumption of alcohol actually increased during Prohibition. Before the 1994 AWB, Colt was having trouble selling the AR15. Look how Trump’s poll numbers popped after each impeachment and each indictment.

People who pass laws for a living think there is some magical quality of putting words on paper and calling them laws.

But Americans, by and large, comply with laws they agree with, and where possible, ignore those they don’t.

Get a 3D printer. Learn how to use it. Print an AR15 lower that will withstand a mag or two. You will probably find your first cheap printer won’t print plastics that are strong enough. Upgrade your gear and skills until you can. Like Orr said in “Catch 22”, “Its good practice.”

Orr was practicing ditching a B-25, getting out, and paddling a life raft. He eventually used that skill to paddle from the Med to Sweden. You’re never going to need the skills that Orr developed.

But one day soon you might wish you had learned how to print a functional AR15 lower.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
