This is just another tax on firearms owners and an infringement upon God-given rights. Insurance won’t ever pay out for felonies committed or intentional acts, and they know it.

Ah yes, because the people who are too poor to afford the insurance surely have the time and money to ask the courts for an exemption https://t.co/egWcI8nTJu pic.twitter.com/w6RfAQ5xbA

I took a few minutes to look at his decision. Based on what I read, it sounds like he wasn’t able to spend enough time as a high school freshman writing papers for his civics class and wanted to make up by doing things completely unrelated to the task at hand, which was to follow the law.

Americans have been making their own firearms since the founding of the country. The SCOTUS needs to get this one right, or else they relegate themselves to the trash heap of history. The communists already disregard what they don’t like out of the SCOTUS. When they lose the rest of the base, it’s a short hop and a skip to everyone just completely ignoring them. They have no reason to go to work with that kind of reputation. They should just stay home.

David Codrea.

“Thomas Engle is the owner of Hunter’s Warehouse in Bellefonte, and he says he supports the change, saying it puts everyone ‘on equal footing,’” the report explains. “At gun shows, he says people could buy and sell without licenses and insurances. He says background checks do not equal registration.”

“Well, a lot of people say it’s an infringement of their rights and stuff, but the problem is, the public wants to feel safe,” Engle elaborated in the accompanying video.

You know, I don’t think this guy has the gift of gab at all. Even if he felt that way, it’s smartest not to say it out loud around gun owners who know better.

On another topic, I would avoid someone like that. Avoid being around them, avoid buying from them, and in fact not even befriend them. He seems rather impulsive, imprecise and dangerous if you ask me.

Finally, the degree to which Form 4473 doesn’t equal registration is debatable. Up until now, with person-to-person sales, this may actually have been true. But with the most recent rule changes, I would disagree with his assertion.

It reminds me of where they really want to go with all of this, quoting from the Kos kids (who are no doubt as much fans of the ATF as the FFL David cited above).

The only way we can truly be safe and prevent further gun violence is to ban civilian ownership of all guns. That means everything. No pistols, no revolvers, no semiautomatic or automatic rifles. No bolt action. No breaking actions or falling blocks. Nothing. This is the only thing that we can possibly do to keep our children safe from both mass murder and common street violence.

Unfortunately, right now we can’t. The political will is there, but the institutions are not. Honestly, this is a good thing. If we passed a law tomorrow banning all firearms, we would have massive noncompliance. What we need to do is establish the regulatory and informational institutions first. This is how we do it.  The very first thing we need is national registry. We need to know where the guns are, and who has them.

Ban civilian gun ownership. Go ahead. Welcome to ThunderDome, kid.

But of course. It’s entirely legal, but it deprives the controllers of information they want. You can’t be god with the corollary omniscience if you don’t know everything. They want to be god. Therefore, they must know everything.

But you can’t argue the law or logic with communists.

The Atlantic.

A man comes to Northwell Health’s hospital on Staten Island with a sprained ankle. Any allergies? the doctor asks. How many alcoholic drinks do you have each week? Do you have access to firearms inside or outside the home? When the patient answers yes to that last question, someone from his care team explains that locking up the firearm can make his home safer. She offers him a gun lock and a pamphlet with information on secure storage and firearm-safety classes. And all of this happens during the visit about his ankle.

Northwell Health is part of a growing movement of health-care providers that want to talk with patients about guns like they would diet, exercise, or sex—treating firearm injury as a public-health issue. In the past few years, the White House has declared firearm injury an epidemic, and the CDC and National Institutes of Health have begun offering grants for prevention research. Meanwhile, dozens of medical societies agree that gun injury is a public-health crisis and that health-care providers have to help stop it.

Here’s another version of the story.

A man comes to Northwell Health’s hospital on Staten Island with a sprained ankle. Any allergies? the doctor asks. How many alcoholic drinks do you have each week? Do you have access to firearms inside or outside the home?

The man responds by saying “Mind your own business you nosy, meddling jerk. Heal my ankle or I’ll leave immediately.

You get to choose which version of the story is true.

You’re a little person. The rules always apply to you.

If you’re politically connected and believe in disarming the public, the rules don’t apply to you.

🚨Here is the summary regarding Miranda Viscolli from @NMPGVnow purchasing firearms for gift cards and not properly destroying the firearms per the @NewMexicoDOJ and the @ATFHQ:

I listened to this video in its entirety, as well as read some on it. I had initially intended to break this all down line by line, showing how stupid it all was.

But that would be a waste of my precious time. In the end, it would have been casting my pearl before swine. I would be better off trying to teach my dog to do calculus.

As best as I can tell, none of the judges who spoke can be trusted to safely make hamburgers at McDonald’s.

Sort of like the Hughes Amendment, huh?
