Republican Congresscritter Flips Off America On Way Out The Door

September 23, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger 3 Comments

Not to mention his constituents. Rep-rehensible Chris Jacobs had already decided to “retire” after pissing off them with his pro-“assault weapon” ban vote so badly that he was utterably un-reelectable. I wonder where exactly he plans to live after leaving the House, after filing this bill.

JACOBS INTRODUCES ASSAULT WEAPONS LICENSING LEGISLATION
Congressman Chris Jacobs (NY-27) introduced the Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act, legislation designed to put in place additional protections on accessing high-powered weapons.
[…]
The Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act would create a new licensing system for any American seeking to purchase a new assault weapon – anyone who already owns an assault weapon at the time of enactment would be grandfathered in. The licensing process would require an individual to take a mandatory safety course, pass an FBI background check, submit fingerprints, and provide proof of identity. This license would need to be renewed every five years if an individual wants to purchase or obtain additional assault weapons.
[…]
The bill also incorporates reasonable exemptions. Like individuals who already own an assault weapon, active-duty military and law enforcement officers would not need a license.

Not much more information of the bill, H.R.8882 – To amend title 18, United States Code, to require a license to acquire or receive an assault weapon, and for other purposes, is available. No text is published yet.

Just what we can see, though, really suffices. A federal licensing scheme with zero “general historical tradition.” An unconstitutionally vague allowance for revoking licenses for unspecified reasons. What we have here is yet another example of an oath-breaking SOB knowing his proposal flies in the face of the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings, but forcing the people to waste money fighting it in court anyway.

H.R. 8882 should be going nowhere. It doesn’t even have a single cosponsor yet, indicating that even Dim-ocrats know this is a loser and that they have more pressing things to attend to in the mid-terms.

A separate, but related issue is the bill’s Constitutional Authority Statement. I like to look at those, if only to understand how a weasel’s mind works; “know your enemy,” after all. Sometimes they are clever twistings, but more often they look like this one:

Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant
to the following:
Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.

Well, that narrows it down; not. Lessee… taxes, naturalization, coining money, patents, war, calling out the militia…

I seem to be missing the part about licensing firearm ownership. Could he get a little more specific?

About Constitutional Authority Statements
On January 5, 2011, the House of Representatives adopted an amendment to House Rule XII. Rule XII, clause 7(c) requires that, to be accepted for introduction by the House Clerk, all bills (H.R.) and joint resolutions (H.J.Res.) must provide a document stating “as specifically as practicable the power or powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact the bill or joint resolution.”

Fail. But if he can’t grasp the Constitution, why would we expect the scumbag to puzzle out House Rules?

Hey, maybe he’s think of the usual, catch-all “general Welfare” clause, so beloved of oath-breakers.

Except H.R. 8882 isn’t exactly “general.” It exempts millions, while purporting applying to unknown future people (hmm, like next generations inheriting currently owned firearms?). It applies to common citizens, but exempt state actors.

For that matter, you might even wonder how licensing and limiting ownership of militia-suitable firearms comports with arming the Militia, which is mentioned in Section 8.

According to the press release, there are a couple of other elements of concern should this bill magically advance.

Importantly, this bill will also increase the availability of information on criminals that the FBI draws from when conducting a background check.

How? Would this be yet another attempt to bribe states to submit more data to NICS? Or might it be some expansion of prohibited person disqualifiers?

It also allows non-license holders to assume a weapon if it is necessary to prevent imminent death or serious harm to another person.

Call me cynical (I do), but I somehow suspect this is a backdoor “red flag” provision to disarm people who manage to escape all the other prohibiting disqualiers.

But maybe I worry too much. After all, Jacobs assures us that…

The bill also contains protections for the privacy and constitutional rights of license holders.

Sure. No doubt a bill specifically intended to violate constitutionally protected human/civil rights will protect whatever Jacobs leaves of those same rights.

I’d love to ask Jacobs’ office for an advance copy of H.R. 8882, but like so many oath-breakers, he won’t accept emails from outside of his district. Maybe he should sponsor bills that would screw those of us outside of his district.

More Illegaller In Georgia

September 22, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger

Reports indicate that Georgia Dim-ocrats are planning some interesting gun control bills for the next session. I have questions.

Spoiler: Rep Sandra Scott is a Dim-ocrat, from the Atlanta area (District 76). Yes, you can expect stupidity.

Georgia Democrats Plan Gun Control Push in Legislature’s Next Session
Lawmakers plan to introduce bills similar to House bills 962 and 971, which did not advance during this year’s session and would require owners to report lost or stolen firearms and require firearm dealers to furnish gun locks in all retail firearm sales.

Right off, I see a problem. The previous HB 971 (also sponsored by Scott), which this new legislation would seemingly mirror, was rather more than a requirement that firearms dealer provide locks. It was a “secure storage” requirement for gun owners. I’ve noted that other attempts at “safe storage” (i.e.- useless for defense) laws have been fairly carefully written since Heller (2008), which tossed the requirement that firearms be “unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock.” The cleverer laws impose liability on a gun owner if an unauthorized person accesses and misuses a firearm. Scott’s 971 would have made “improper” storage a misdemeanor criminal offense whether or not a firearm is accessed, much less if it’s used.

This year’s Bruen ruling also comes into play with this unsafe storage requirement. In that case, the Supreme Court decided that gun control laws must be evaluated, not under intermediate scrutiny (“does it serve a perceived governmental need”) or strict scrutiny (“does it even work”), but under a general historical tradition test that begins with a presumption that Second Amendment rights must be protected.

How exactly does Scott justify so-called “secure storage” of firearms and mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms with BRUEN? A few quick searches don’t reveal any general historical tradition of requiring that firearms be stored in an unusable state.

From there, Scott descends into sheer stupidity, or lunacy; you decide.

State Rep. Sandra Scott, D-Rex, said lawmakers are also eying legislation that would prevent Glock owners from turning the guns into automatic weapons.

26 U.S. Code § 5861(a) and 18 U.S. Code § 922(a)(4)make it a felony for any unlicensed person to manufacture (or convert) a machinegun. The Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 prohibited virtually all manufacture or transfer of mew machineguns. Georgia Code § 16-11-122 and § 16-11-123 likewise already ban possession of machineguns not federally licensed and taxed. Thus, it is, and has been for decades, unlawful for Glock, or any other firearm, owners to covert their firearms into machineguns.

What is the purpose of a new, redundant law outlawing that which is already outlawed, eh, Scott?

She did know this, right? Perhaps her proposed bill will address the issue of criminals who are already ignoring Georgia and federal law.

Ready for more legislative dumbassery?

“We really need to be trying to come up with a way that will restrict kids from being able to go in and purchase weapons…”

“Go in and purchase” suggests that she is speaking of “kids” (minors) purchasing firearms in gun stores. Raise your hands if you see the issue here.

18 U.S. Code § 922 makes it unlawful, a felony, for those under 18 to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer (and makes it a crime for a dealer to make such a sale). How did Scott miss that? It isn’t something new.

Georgia Code § 16-11-132 makes it unlawful for minor to even possess handguns, with certain exceptions for specified sporting activities under supervision, another long standing restriction that seems to have escaped the Dim-wit’s notice.

I brought these issues to Rep. Scott’s attention. To her credit, and unlike most pols, she actually replied.

Thanks for the information. I will have the legislation reviewed because I am concerned..

It seems to me that the proper time to “review” proposed legislation is before it’s filed or publicly announced, not after people publicly ridicule her ignorance. So forgive me if I think she’s more “concerned” with being outed as a fool (too late!), rather than constitutionality and redundancy.

Sadly, Scott appears to be running unopposed in her solidly Dim district; so there’s no opponent to tip off as to her legislative incompetence.

DC Ammunition Limits: That Didn’t Last Long

September 15, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger

Back in July, Dick Heller sued Washington, DC. Again. This time it was over a stupidly arbitrary (or is that arbitrarily stupid?) limit on the amount of ammunition a lawful concealed carrier could carry. This wasn’t even a law or ordinance, but just a nonlegislative “rule” issued by the chief of police.

Given the “general historical tradition” test of Bruen, I figured that was going to get shot right down.

Upon seeing that, I immediately thought of the Militia Act of 1792, which actually specified a minimum amount of ammunition to be carried, not a maximum. And very much more than a single loading of the firearm (also required).

The cesspool city backed down.

Subsection 234.1 is repealed.

The TL;DR is, Umm… given Bruen, we can’t think of any sane way to rationalize our arbitrary capriciousness without getting laughed out of even the lefty DC District Court.

On the downside, if the Court leaves it at that, we miss a judicial precedent saying, Bad dog! No you can’t do that!

On the upside, the silly ammo limit is gone.

For now.

Paper or Plastic? Check, Cash or Big Brother?

September 13, 2022 Sheila Stokes

I guess through one source or another you’ve probably heard that just like FakeBook working for the CDC, and any other Federal alphabet that wants them to, same as Twatter in a Frankenstein combination of censorship and citizen control, the credit card companies have jumped on the donkey cart of big brother spying. The worst of private businesses working for the government against the citizens.

Mastercard Praises Congress’s Mid-Summer Passage of Gun Control

This announcement came after weeks of pressure from Gabby Giffords’ gun control group, Giffords, Democrat lawmakers in New York, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), all claiming that labeling gun purchases under categories such as sporting goods or general merchandise was not sufficient.

Hochul went so far as to contend that major credit card companies need to take action and “do their part” for gun control.

Credit Card Giants to Categorize Gun-Related Sales Separately, NRA Condemns ‘Erosion of Rights’

Visa announced Saturday that it is ready to join other major credit card companies to tag firearms-related purchases, a move that Second Amendment advocates argue would only put lawful gun owners under surveillance.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a Switzerland-based group that sets and monitors quality standards for industries of all types, on Friday confirmed that one of its subcommittees had voted to establish a new merchant category code (MCC) for firearms, which previously fell into the “general merchandise” category.

BRAVE NEW WORLD? Credit Card Companies To Use Special Code To Track Gun Purchases

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, along with other elected officials and state pension fund trustees, have requested that major credit card companies implement a weapon code for the purchase of firearms and ammunition.

Officials in New York City and the state of New York have asked American Express, MasterCard, and Visa to make a four-digit merchant category code (MCC) like the ones used for other retail categories to better identify and report suspicious behavior, such as large purchases of firearms.

“The creation of a new code would help financial institutions detect and report suspicious activity, such as unusually large purchases of firearms or ammunition, or purchases from multiple stores, that may be used for criminal purposes,” it claimed.

Well, for a change, I won’t be all doom and gloom. I heard about something today and I wanted to pass it along. Instead of big brother plastic, how about using coin? Except it’s spelled “coign”. I admit I’m guessing it’s pronounced “coin”. It’s the first credit card for conservatives. While some have been issued and are using their cards, there is a waiting list. But I’m hoping if they get a lot of people signing up that it will be a far better alternative to the woke credit card companies out there now. I’ll change in a heartbeat when my turn comes. Here’s the FAQ site for them if you’re interested. https://www.coign.com/faqs

Presumed Guilt In NYC

September 1, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger 1 Comment

Somehow, this isn’t at all surprising.

Breaking: Newly Leaked Documents Reveal NYPD Assume Carrying a Firearm Illegal Until Proven Otherwise Despite SCOTUS Ruling
The New York Police Department (NYPD) treats all instances of concealed carry as an illegal act until it can be proven otherwise, according to newly leaked documents obtained by Project Veritas.

New York is playing against a Supreme Court Ruling.

Specifically, they are playing again the very “specific” ruling in Bruen.

In keeping with Heller, we hold that when the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct.

“Presumptively.” They don’t get to — legally — presume the conduct is unlawful. They — legally — must presume carry is lawful unless and until proven otherwise.

But what else would you expect of constitutionally and judicially ignorant scumbags who also ignored this part…

That said, respondents’ attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive-place” law lacks merit because there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattan a “sensitive place” simply because it is crowded and protected generally by the New York City Police Department.

… to declare the city a “sensitive place” piecemeal.

It will soon be forbidden to carry a firearm, even concealed, in the famed Times Square district and other public places in the city and state of New York, authorities announced on Wednesday.

Can someone point me to a citation saying the Supreme Court cannot issue bench warrants for “supreme” contempt of court?

So What Would YOU Do For A Million And A Half?

August 30, 2022 Sheila Stokes 2 Comments

You know, censorship and persecution of people with unacceptable speech, and even thoughts is all the rage since the Biden junta seized power and is trying their best to turn us into a Banana Republic^TM

It is of course coming out, that the FIB as they were attacking parents at school board meetings also found time to continue to cover up for crackhead Hunter Biden and his laptop. The couple that found Ashley Biden’s diary have been accused of “stealing” it. Bidens seem to do that, leave interesting things laying around, laptops, diaries, and the like. With Joe it probably depends.

And with the discovery of the latest corrupt action of the corrupt FIB there are some agreeing it probably did have an impact on the election, in terms of the Biden laptop. I mean seriously, if people had known they were electing someone who gets paid more from China than U.S. would they still have voted for him? Well, yeah, the people on their 6^th non-mandated vaxx would have, but other than them? The FIB’s corruption is so well known and so diverse, that it got more than two joke in the Bee.

Sharpie Scores Huge Endorsement Deal With FBI

“We couldn’t do our job protecting America without the incredible permanent markers made by Sharpie,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “From helping us black out coverage of Hunter’s laptop, to hiding how we acted as a tool for Democrats to investigate fabricated ‘Russian collusion’ charges – Sharpie has been there every step of the way.”

And the second one leads to the point of this column.

FBI Instructs Facebook To Censor Posts About The FBI Instructing Facebook To Censor Posts About Hunter’s Laptop

“We cannot have news about us censoring people get out there uncensored,” said FBI director Christopher Wray. “The solution to people being upset about us squashing a damaging story in order to tilt an election is quite simple: we squash that story as well, which will hopefully then tilt the next election. And if people then discover we censored the stories about censorship, we’ll censor that too. This job is actually pretty easy.”

That satirical column was in response to this actual interview by Joe Rogan of Mark Zuckerbucks.

FBI put the Hunter Biden story right in Facebook’s lap

Biden ‘would not be president’ if the FBI didn’t allegedly cover up Hunter Biden laptop scandal: Sen. Johnson

But hey, a scapegoat was found.

Top FBI agent resigns amid claims he shielded Hunter Biden from probe: report

Yes that agency known for it’s corruption is being found out. Hopefully actual conservatives will take control of the house this fall by sweeping elections and dismantle the FIB and keep the 14 whistleblowers that have come forward, sack everyone else as they aren’t honest, and start from the ground up.

But what else has been in the news a lot lately involving free speech, and the lack thereof? The Alex Jones case. And that’s what got me started thinking about this. I listened to a podcast today and the Alex Jones case came up as it related to this particular podcast. But here’s a bit about the persecution of Alex Jones. Like him or hate him, it’s the principle involved.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Speaks Out Against ‘Political Persecution’ of Alex Jones

Jones is on the hook for tens of millions of dollars for sharing conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting. He was trotted out before a show trial where the leftist operative judge declared his guilt to the jury. Greene believes this is wrong and sets a bad precedent for free speech.

“You wanna know something? Somebody like Alex Jones – who did say some things…” Greene said during a panel at CPAC Texas.

“But yet he is being politically persecuted right now and being forced to pay out millions and millions of dollars.. And no one agrees with what he said, but what we’re tired of is the political persecution,” she continued.

The Persecution of Alex Jones Is a War Against Us All

Amidst all of the fanfare and controversy, it is easy to overlook just how weak the defamation case against Jones really was.

The Sandy Hook parents mentioned above based their defamation claim on a 2017 NBC interview where Heslin said he held his son’s body after he was murdered. In a contemporaneous Infowars segment, reporter Owen Shroyer said that, “according to a timeline of events and a coroner’s testimony, that is not possible,” and Jones responded by calling Heslin to “clarify” his statements.

Otherwise, all of Jones’s “defamatory” behavior is premised on him making wild but vague allegations of a Sandy Hook false flag by unknown forces. Virtually all of the damages, meanwhile, are based on blaming Jones for the actions of people he doesn’t even know.

So I have a question for you, what if Alex wasn’t wrong? And that was the point of the podcast. I like data, I like information, don’t you? I think without good information people can’t make intelligent choices, or have informed opinions. So I’m going to give you one little refresher video clip of Eric Holder, who defied a congressional subpoena with absolutely no consequences, telling a bunch of Demoncrats that people need to be brainwashed about gun control.

That clip will be referred to in the podcast. Jeremy Nell is a cartoonist and podcaster from South Africa. Thus the name Jerm Warfare for his podcast, the warfare part refers to the information war. The war on information, as it is. He’s kind of like Joe Rogan in that he has interesting conversations with interesting people. His guest for this episode is James Fetzer. There are some points of this episode I vehemently disagree with. I’m sure you’ll figure out what, but before you dismiss the topic, Sandy Hook, I listened to the podcast, but this is the video version so all the evidence he presents, the photos and the like you can see for yourself. It’s about an hour and a half. There is some pretty compelling stuff. Either the school was open or it wasn’t. That’s covered.

But what if Alex was right? Obama signed something like 23? 27? New gun control laws right after Sandy Hook.

But what would you and your family do for a million and a half dollars? Yeah, that’s covered as well.

I’m not telling anyone what to think, I’m presenting you with a podcast with information and a question, what if Alex was right? Either way persecution for free speech is not ok and is having disastrous effects on this country. Grab a cup of coffee.

The Rifle Plate Loophole

August 25, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger

A few people noted that New York state Dims’ Senate Bill S9407B had a small problem. I was patiently waiting to see if they would address it with an amendment after it was publicly pointed out.

S9407B is a ban on the sale or possession of a “BODY VEST, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION 270.20.” The problem with the bill is that none of the sponsors appeared to have read 270.20.

For the purposes of this section a “body vest” means a bullet-resistant soft body armor providing, as a minimum standard, the level of protection known as threat level I which shall mean at least seven layers of bullet-resistant material providing protection from three shots of one hundred fifty-eight grain lead ammunition fired from a .38 calibre handgun at a velocity of eight hundred fifty feet per second.

No, the Dimwits never amended to correct what seems like a bit of a shortfall, if keeping their citizens sufficiently vulnerable to gunfire was their purpose, as it certainly appears. Soft body armor that will stop a rather old-fashioned .338 caliber, 158 grain, lead slug is out. The governor has signed the bill into law.

Hard ceramic, steel, composite, or UHWM polyethylene plates that will stop higher- power rifles rounds (as well as the lesser .38s) are still fine. New Yorkers can breathe a sigh of relief, since the basic stupidity of their elected wannabe-masters worked in the people’s favor for once.

Victim-Disarmer Calling For War On Gun Owners

August 5, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger 2 Comments

Not figuratively. Po Murray, “Mom/Chair of @NewtownAction /Organizer @WomensMarchCT /Board @GunsDownAmerica @SurvivorsEmp @GV_pedia,” has a plan to deal with pesky AR-platform owners.

A gun rights activist from Newtown told me he needs an AR15 to defend himself from a tyrannical government. I told him the CIA has drones with missiles. Hellfire R9X/“knife bomb”/“flying Ginsu” was used to kill al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri.

She and Duke Nukem should really get together, when he isn’t banging Fang Fang.

I could mention some logistical issues with this cunning plan. These things apparently run $150,00 a pop. Just how many does the “CIA” have in inventory? Millions; to go after millions of AR owners?

Then there’s the targeting problem. Where do you aim them? At whom? She’s from Connecticut, so maybe she’s simply stupid enough to think every state registers “assault weapons” like Connecticut. (And bless your heart. How’d that work for you?)

How long do you suppose the government would last if it let the CIA conduct Hellfire strikes on millions of gun owners with going on 25 MILLION AR/AKs?

How long would fed officials live after they started bombing neighborhoods? How long would those genocidal goons advocating war on Americans — like Ms. Murray herself — last?

Collateral damage much? Even assuming they hit the “right” target, and not a wedding party or relief worker hauling water. The occasional accidental school strike, with more dead kids than Sandy Hook,just might sour a few antigun parents on Murray’s schemes.

Funny how these wannabe-tyrants always respond to “We need protection against the government” with “Damned right you do“.

Why Does The FIB Hate Patriotic Women?

August 5, 2022 Sheila Stokes

So the very confused FIB has put out a bulletin designating certain patriotic symbols and people as indications of “Domestic Terrorism”.

This is far from the first time law enforcement has decided normal patriotic sayings or symbols are a “threat to democracy”, a favorite phrase of the communist Demoncratic party. Anything that doesn’t advance the cause of Communism in their evaluation is a “threat to our democracy”. Apparently the leftist loons never learned in school that we are a Constitutional Republic. A rule of law, not mob rule, which is why they hate the Constitution, among other reasons.

Hop into the way back machine with me, back to 2009. The Missouri Highway Patrol got snookered by the hate group the Southern Poverty Law Center. Not just the MOHP, but the Governor Jay Nixon.

On February 20, 2009, the State of Missouri, via its Department of Public Safety, issued what was called “MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement.” In this report, people who supported Presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and yours truly were referenced as being connected to potentially dangerous “militia members.” But the inference did not stop there. People of conservative ideology were also identified in the State Police report as being potentially dangerous. People who held political opinions opposing abortion, illegal immigration, the New World Order, the North American Union, the Income Tax, the U.N., etc., were profiled in the MIAC report.

Interestingly enough, no left-leaning political ideologies were identified. No Islamic extremists. No environmental extremists. Only people holding “conservative” or “right-wing” philosophies were identified in the MIAC report.

The MIAC report was categorized as “Unclassified/Law Enforcement Sensitive,” meaning the report was intended for law enforcement personnel only. Fortunately, an unidentified (for obvious reasons) Missouri law enforcement officer, who was extremely disturbed by this report, sent a copy to nationally syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones. Of course, Jones immediately “blew the whistle” on the story. This was on March 11.

Now you know one of the reasons they hate Alex Jones so much. The difference now is while the media followed Jones and brought it out, now it would get the Hunter Xiden treatment. Shhhhhhh.

If we can continue to probe the details of the MIAC report, I am absolutely convinced we will find that this report actually originates with Morris Dees and his ultra-liberal Southern Poverty Law Center. And if my hunch (a very educated hunch, I might add) is correct, it means that the DHS and various State police agencies around the country are allowing a left-wing special interest group to use them to harass, intimidate, and profile people with conservative political opinions.

But now the left-wing special interest group going after conservatives is…the weaponized FIB.

Project Veritas was contacted by a inside whistle blower who spilled the beans on what the FIB now considers “Militia Violent Extremists” or MVEs.

These include such fringe thoughts as the Second Amendment, that shooting unarmed women by a cop who previously left his duty weapon in a bathroom on the toilet is a bad thing. Ashli Babbit. That shooting an unarmed woman holding her baby, Vickie Weaver, is a evil thing. That the flag Betsy Ross labored over is “extremist”. Threepers and Oathkeepers who have broken no laws and have yet to burn down a city are also vilified. As is the Gadsden flag, the Gonzales Battle flag, probably the modern American flag, dang with the FIB probably the only flag they don’t consider “extremist” is the Antifa flag or the Chinese Communist Party flag. While Antifa has burned down cities and decimated neighborhoods they aren’t a violent extremist group according to the FIB. Odd that, isn’t it?

Also considered threats are any mention of the Second Amendment, of course, and the Liberty Tree, and Revolutionary war soldier pictures. No word if the serfs will be allowed to watch “The Patriot” next Independence Day. No word if we’re allowed to use the phrase “Independence Day” yet either.

I’m happy to report however, that Senator Ted Cruz bitch slapped that useless as tits on a boar hog Chris Wray.

“Also on this list is the Gadsden flag as a symbol of violent extremism,” Cruz continued. “Now, the State of Virginia has a license plate with the Gadsden flag — as do many other states,” he said. “I think people would be astonished to find that having that license plate, the FBI indicates that you’re a violent extremist.”

“As a Texan, I was particularly struck,” Cruz added, “by the Gonzales Battle Flag — ‘Come and Take It’ — as indicative of being a violent extremist militia. Well, I will self-report right now that every day in the Senate I wear my boots that have the Gonzalez Battle Flag on the back,” Cruz declared, smacking his boot on the dais.

“Director Wray, what are y’all doing?” Cruz asked. “This makes no sense.”

Cruz ended his statement by asking Wray whether he agreed with the FBI guidance highlighting patriotic, historic American symbols with extremist violence, but the FBI Director could only offer that he wasn’t “familiar” with the document.

Truth be told Sen. Cruz probably should have thrown the boot at Wray, but considering what those boots probably cost I completely forgive him.

And just like Nixon and the head of the Missouri Highway Patrol, useless Wray said he wasn’t familiar with the document. Probably spending so much time looking for Hunter Xiden’s missing laptop no doubt.

And just like was pointed out in the column about the MIAC report:

But Cruz again took Wray to task, pointing out that the FBI chose not to “include things like Antifa… things like Black Lives Matter” and instead “identify patriotic Americans as suspect.”

I have two solutions to this predicament. Wray needs to be fired, at once and the FIB needs to be disbanded. The funds saved could be better used by local law enforcement to hire and train officers, and heaven knows the taxpayers could use the break. We have millions of illegal aliens to support that the FIB is not the least concerned about. But one thing is clear, the FIB is threatened by Patriotic Women, poor Betsy!

“Voluntary”

August 3, 2022 Carl Bussjaeger 8 Comments

Orlando, Florida has a little problem with shootings lately. They have a bigger problem with the Constitution.

Checkpoints. Weapons screening. Metal detectors. On public streets.

Orlando to implement checkpoints downtown after 7 people injured in shooting
In light of the shooting, Dyer said the city will implement checkpoints on weekends. People who want to visit the area of Orange Avenue from Washington to Pine Streets will have to walk through one of six pedestrian checkpoints. This is an example of the city’s most recent controlled access map.

The city said people should expect to see more officers, K9s and metal detectors. There will also be a voluntary weapons screening at the checkpoints.

[…]

While the weapons screening is voluntary, Dyer said he thinks it will make a difference.

“I think if there are people that are carrying weapons and intending to come downtown, they will certainly think twice about that before they do so. I think it’s a deterrent for some people to have to go simply go through a checkpoint,” he said.

Mayor Buddy Dyer tries to rationalize these checkpoints as “voluntary,” but note that he repeatedly stresses that people “have to” go through them.

Where are your warrants, Buddy?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Or maybe we should look to the Florida constitution.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and against the unreasonable interception of private communications by any means, shall not be violated. No warrant shall be issued except upon probable cause, supported by affidavit, particularly describing the place or places to be searched, the person or persons, thing or things to be seized,

Possibly Dyer is confused enough to believe that public streets are some sort of sensitive area, rather like the secured portions of airports accessible through TSA checkpoints and metal detectors.

One word, Buddy: Bruen.

For example, courts can use analogies to “longstanding” “laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings” to determine whether modern regulations are constitutionally permissible. Id., at 626. That said, respondents’ attempt to characterize New York’s proper-cause requirement as a “sensitive-place” law lacks merit because there is no historical basis for New York to effectively declare the island of Manhattan a “sensitive place” simply because it is crowded and protected generally by the New York City Police Department.
