| China Joe Uses Parkland Shooting Anniversary to Launch His Anticipated Attack on the Second Amendment |
| 2021-02-15 |
| [Red State] Joe Biden used the fourth anniversary of the shootings at Parkland High School in Florida to unveil the beginning of his anticipated anti-gun crusade. Nothing in Biden’s agenda is new; that doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous. Biden controls the Congress. He controls the Executive Branch, particularly the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE), who will carry out rulemaking to make gun ownership as onerous and expensive as possible and then enforce those rules. As an aside, in case you’re coming out of a 30-year coma, we don’t do "laws" anymore. Congress acts like a bunch of monkeys with overactive libidos and no outlet while bureaucrats make "rules" that fine you, deprive you of property and rights, and, if you get out of line, allow the government to imprison or kill you. To show you how dangerous the ability of BATFE to write rules is, you need to read how thousands of law-abiding gun owners were nearly made into felons by the stroke of a pen in the saga of the short-barreled rifle. Not only is all official power in the hands of the Democrats. The media are some of the most noxious anti-gunners in the country. The major Second Amendment defense organization, the National Rifle Association, is targeted for prosecution by New York State (didn’t anyone there think being incorporated in one of the most crazily anti-gun states in the union AND then engaging in egregious fraud and self-dealing might not be a great idea? I guess not) and I’m doubtful that it is going to be doing much more than trying to keep former officials out of prison. The John Roberts Supreme Court has been singularly reluctant to accept Second Amendment cases. It is going to be a tough four years, at least. We can’t depend on the GOP or much of anyone. We need to organize. We need to engage in civil disobedience. We need to engage in lawfare directed at elected individuals to make it clear that getting involved in gun control is very expensive and time-consuming. And we need to start voting anti-Second Amendment fanatics (easy litmus test, if they say "commonsense," they are a school-trained anti-gun nutter) out of office.

| #11 David Hogg quit his anti-gun crusade days before the anniversary of the Parkland shooting? That is very odd. |

| #9 Bankruptcy makes them fiscally untouchable briefly in NY. Reincorporating in Texas means NY State cannot go after them nearly as easily. |

| #8 "Remember last week's arrest of a group of Iranians" I remember back in the 1970s an injured guy was brought to an ER from a bar. He looked like he had been on the wrong end of a fist fight. He claimed he'd been beaten up by "seven Iranians". Police went back to interview witnesses. There weren't even 7 people in the bar where all this happened. Witness interviews all agreed that the man had simply fallen off his barstool, striking his face on the bar and then on the floor. When he came to, he felt so bad that he had to conclude that at least 7 bad Iranians were to blame for his injuries. |

| #5 January 15, 2020: NRA declares bankruptcy, plans to incorporate in Texas The announcement came months after New York’s attorney general sued the organization over claims that top executives illegally diverted tens of millions of dollars for lavish personal trips, no-show contracts for associates and other questionable expenditures. The NRA was chartered in New York State in 1871. That hasn’t been a serious problem until now. I wonder how much of the egregious spending NY Attorney General Letitia James objects to is normal for lobbyists in lobbying mode, how much is typical large charitable organization self-dealing, and how much is actually egregious for the industry. A side by side comparison with, say, the American Red Cross would do the trick, I think. |

| #2 Only the soft headed think something that happened 3 years ago is a reason for "urgent action" today. |

| #1 Any crisis or anniversary of a sad event must be exploited for street naming, march, rally, national holiday, or political gain. Manipulation of the media is an essential element of political cover action, and the obscuration of actual facts. In time, Hunter Biden's misdeeds, Dominion algorithms, video taped box stuffing, and overseas voter tabulations will be memory holed. Perhaps we can then move on. |
