Non-Citizens And Gun Control

I made a bet with myself: Most folks seeing that title probably thought I’d be talking about illegals. Nope. I’m talking about another class of non-citizens in America.

No, not green card holders either.

David Codrea wrote a column about a recent DOD report on suicide prevention in the military.

DOD Suicide Report Long on ‘Gun Control’ But Short on Who’s at Risk and Why
That means focusing on guns, and considering that’s what the majority of service suicides use to end their lives, that’s understandable. What’s arguable, though, is whether putting the major emphasis on means neglects the important questions of “Who?” and “Why?”

David covered the topic fairly well, so I won’t rehash it all. TL;DR: It calls for lots of gun control for military members.

But it — the report, Preventing Suicide in the U.S. Military: Recommendations from the SuicidePrevention and Response, not David’s column — struck a nerve. It reminded me of why, when I was in the service, I hated the term “citizen soldier.”

Citizen soldier always meant “National Guard.” We’d hear it  when Guards showed up for their two weeks, and even more during retention briefings. No one wanted to hear, much less answer, my question of, “Aren’t us active duty regulars citizens?”

That suicide report makes it very clear that they are not. Otherwise, it might take some notice of BRUEN. It might have considered that basically every restriction they want to inflict on service members runs afoul of the SCOTUS ruling. Bear in mind that all these are about privately owned firearms, even if they are never brought onto government property.

It has it all. Firearm registration, commander’s permission to purchase, mandated “safety” training, waiting periods.

And raising the age to purchase/possess to 25 years old.

Everyone one of those is in trouble in federal courts… for citizens. Especially that 25 year minimum age limit.

25… By the time I reached 25, I was already a Staff Sergeant and NCOIC of a base-level shop managing multi-year, multi-million dollar programs. But, apparently, I was too young to be trusted with a gun. Except the gov-issued, full-auto assault rifles.

Of course, that was then, and not the present day Air Farce that’s lowering standards, and actively recruiting the physically and mentally disabled.

I strongly recommend that the military return to recruiting high quality personnel and treating them like the citizens they are. Yes, military service has some requirements that civilians don’t have to deal with; and that sometimes requires some adjustments to how human/civil rights are respected.

But service members still have those rights, and the DOD would do well to accept that.

And in the meantime, the DOD could try another “study” to see who, and why, is most at risk for suicide; instead of blaming the gun and not the actor.

It isn’t as if that worked any better with criminals vs. guns.

About Those War Crimes

I hear about Putin and his “war crimes”. No, I don’t think he’s a nice person, yes I think he does disappear people. But so does America. Want proof? January 6th prisoners. I can’t WAIT for the tape, all of it, to be made public. Much has already come to light. 15 FACTS on the Dozens of Federal Operatives Who Infiltrated the Trump Crowds on January 6th at the US Capitol

No, this one is about something else.

Biden Admin: Nordstream

Semour Hersh dropped this bombshell that many had long suspected, including at least me.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline

Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.

Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.

Asked for comment, Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.” Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.”

Pop quiz: The last time the Biden Crime regime told the truth about anything?

The article by Semour is a substack, but it’s free to read. He has a follow up The Crap on the Wall

That, is a war crime.

A couple of weeks ago I listened to a radio show that talked about some interesting bits of history. The whole show is maybe 45 minutes and is quite interesting. As some of it is history it will still apply, but in case you don’t want to listen I’ve put the salient points in.

There was an attempt at peace at the beginning with Zelensky and Putin and US stopped it. That is a war crime. Who is the US at war with? With all the talks from corrupt Lindsey Graham about regime change you have to wonder. But this could have been over in March or April of last year.

There was another attempt at peace attempted by Naftali Bennett. Bennett I guess kind of let it out that it was blocked by the west, then walked it back. Even he’s probably aware the Biden crime regime does not love Israel.

Israeli PM meets Putin in Moscow, then speaks with Zelenskiy by phone

Putin promised not to kill Zelenskyy, former Israeli prime minister says

Apparently Zelensky was less than happy with Bennett’s negotiation efforts. He’s probably more interested in getting monetary support from Israel. Who for darn good reason wants to stay amicable with Russia since Israel has to deal with hamass in Syria and good communication with Russia is necessary to prevent “incidents”.

If true, that Biden blocked a peace plan that could have stopped a war? That’s a war crime.

There have been 157,000 Ukrainians killed, 165,000 total. Ukraine had 37 million of which 4 million were the Russians in Eastern Ukraine that Ukraine has been trying to kill. Russia went in to save them. Russia lost has lost 18,000. I need to get word to the Donbas region to just call themselves “Part of the Greater Russia Project”. That hasn’t resulted in Zelenksy shelling parts of Oregon or putting political opposition in jail, or seizing the property of churches and shutting them down there. What’s in a name, right?

Biden’s puppet is getting aggressive and greedy about his bottle.

Zelensky slams Americans who don’t want to give more to Ukraine

The Biden administration just promised another $10 billion in economic aid to Ukraine, bringing the to-date sum up around $200 billion, with more likely to roll out in the coming months. But for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenksy, that’s just not enough, and he has harsh words for Americans who’d like to keep their tax dollars here at home as opposed to using them to line Ukraine’s war chest.

So…..no money for East Palestine, in America. Just Ukraine, guess that’s why Beijing Biden was in Ukraine on President’s day, eh what?

So now for the bit of history. This bit comes from the radio show listed above.

Russians including Soviet Jews liberated Auschwitz, there were 261,000 killed liberating Auschwitz. 500,000 Jews served in the Soviet army, all of whom knew why they were there. Soviets immediately sent humanitarian aid to the survivors of Auschwitz, while the international red cross refused to help in anyway. The Soviets sent urgent messages to help with the survivors to the US and the UK and they were ignored. The idea of Germany sending tanks to Russia to fight the Russians are repulsive.

German is making deals to get gas from Senagal and Oman, but closest country they could get gas from is Israel and they won’t even talk to them. Apparently Germany still has a problem with Jews.

Putin is correct about de-nazification. This war was fomented by Barry Sotero, and his minions like Victoria Nuland and ignited and prolonged by Biden, not the Russians.

My buddy in Nicaragua sent this, and I thought it was interesting. It’s by Wayne Allen Root. Here’s Your Proof of a Rigged and Stolen 2020 Presidential Election

I’m not even talking about the emails publicly released by Elon Musk proving that the FBI and other national security agencies PAID Twitter to silence conservative voices and change the news feed. Our own government rigged the election. That’s now a fact.

The election of 2020 was rigged and fixed. We all know it. And Kari Lake’s stolen election in 2022 was even worse. The theft of Kari Lake’s Arizona election makes Bernie Madoff look like a small-time shoplifter.

But I’m not talking about any of that.

To me the proof the 2020 election was stolen is the state of the nation. Open your eyes. The consequences of a stolen election are all around us.

The supply chain is crippled. Highways, ports and infrastructure are crumbling. Blue states are banning trucks from the roads. Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Egg farms are burning to ground. Eggs cost $10 per dozen- if you can find them. Over 100 food plants have burned to the ground in the past year.

Trains are derailing. The East Palestine, Ohio train derailment may be the worst ecological disaster in U.S. history. Experts are calling it “our Chernobyl.” There is a mushroom cloud of deadly chemicals floating over the farm belt. Animals are dying. Fish are dead. People are sick. And it just happens to have poisoned hundreds of thousands of acres of prime Midwest farmland.

How do you take down a country like U.S.? From the inside, and I believe that’s a war crime as well. Treason at the least.

Rittenhouse Being Sued

Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by the the idiot who chased him down and pointed a gun at him.

Kyle Rittenhouse hit with lawsuit from man he shot during 2020 Kenosha clash: ‘Little bit of a shock’
Gaige Grosskreutz, who testified he pointed a firearm at Rittenhouse before the then-teenager shot Grosskreutz and two others, is seeking economic losses, “damages for emotional distress, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and other pain and suffering on all claims,” and punitive damages.

I could talk about the basic stupidity of suing a person after you already testified under oath that he shot you only after you threatened to kill him by pointing an unlawfully possessed handgun at him. But that’s a little too obvious.

I want to talk about a comment on that report.

He went looking for trouble armed with a gun and found it. Have can keep dealing with the consequences.

“toatsrokinit” seems to think he’s talking about Kyle acting provocatively. But his claim very much more accurately describes the actions of plaintiff Grosskreutz.

Kyle was there cleaning up graffiti and offering medical first aid to protesters.

Grosskreutz was there to protest.

Kyle ran from threats, and only shot is self defense.

Grosskreutz chased Kyle and pointed a gun at him while Kyle was down on the ground.

And note: Grosskreutz was “armed with a gun,” and in chasing Kyle was definitely “looking for trouble.”

Also note: Kyle’s rifle possession was lawful.

Grosskreutz’s concealed pistol possession was unlawful.

And yet the morons who still insist — without any evidence beyond “cuz I said so” — that Kyle was carrying that rifle “looking for trouble,” never seem to wonder about Grosskreutz. And why he was unlawfully armed.

The guy who effed around and found out.

The Zelman Partisans Beg To Differ

I thought of leaving this to Sheila, but something has to be said.

Judge Calls Second Amendment Protection Laws Racist and Anti-Semitic
The Oregon Court of Appeals has struck down the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance in Columbia County, an ordinance OFF has been defending with Gun Owners of America.
[…]
He claims that constitutional sheriffs “ embrace racist and white nationalist ideologies.”

From Egan’s concurrence:

“In other words, Intervenors came before this court and referenced UN mandates,which as explained below is a well documented trope meant to invoke white supremacist, antisemitic fear of a takeover of our country by outsiders and minorities who are manipulated by an elite class of supervillians.

On occasion, however, individual members of the court must call out illegitimate quasi-legal arguments and theories for what they are-viz., antisemitic and racist tropes. “

Egan dedicated an entire section to “The Antisemitic and Racist Origins of the Ordinance,” yet somehow never managed to establish any such origin. The closest he came was pretending that the Aryan Nation espoused — unconstitutional — ideas that he imagines are similar to upholding the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

Guilt by imaginary association.

The best immediate response to Egan is of a sort I usually avoid here (saving it for my personal blog). This warrants an exception; I apologize to anyone who may be offended. Except Egan.

Fuck off, Egan.

The Zelman Partisans is a Jewish group (though not every individual is Jewish).

A group of Jews and friends who stand uncompromisingly for the right to keep and bear arms — and the entire Bill of Rights.

The Bill of Rights happens to include the Second Amendment, thus TZP supports upholding it. Egan obviously doesn’t.

Are you calling a Jewish group antisemitic, Egan? Come on; say it to my face, you oath-breaking bastard.

28 U.S. Code § 453 – Oaths of justices and judges
Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office: “I, ___ ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as ___ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

Egan violated his oath of office, and is calling Jews antisemitic to deflect attention from his own failure.

MI AG: We Can’t Enforce Our Laws, So We Need More Laws

To also not enforce?

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel [Dim] is trying to explain away why the MSU shooter wasn’t prosecuted for felony unlicensed carry in 2019.

That is such a common crime here that, if we were to lock up everyone who illegally carried a gun, we’d have to build more prisons. So, to me, it’s not a matter of incarcerating our way through this problem, it’s a matter of making guns less accessible and available to people.”

Don’t lock up criminals. Make more laws to keep guns away from the honest folks who try to obey laws.

The stupid; it burns.

But if the good guys get tired of Nessel’s s**t and don’t obey, will she then grant them the same leniency that she shows to killers?

MSU Shooter: Felon? Prohibited?

I keep seeing conflicting reports about the legal status of the Michigan State chumbucket. This one is typical.

PICTURED: Woke prosecutor who refused to jail or even ban MSU shooter from buying a gun after his 2019 felony weapons charge
The MSU gunman who killed three students in a senseless spree on Monday should have been banned from buying guns after being charged with a felony in 2019 – but a woke prosecutor lowered the offense to a misdemeanor.
[…]
It remains unclear where and when McRae bought the weapon used in Monday’s attack, but he wouldn’t have been able to do so legally had the prosecutors gone through with the felony charge.

Fortunately, there are some better, more detailed reports, like this one.

Chum-boy was originally charged with felony carry without a license. The charge was lowered to misdemeanor transport in a vehicle under Michigan Penal Code Section 750.227c. In fact, the description of the apparent arrest circumstances make the misdemeanor charge a more accurate description of what he’d done, and thus more appropriate.

But did that make it legal for him to buy or possess a firearm? Look at 750.227c closely.

A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,500.00, or both.

Now look at 18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(1).

)It shall be unlawful for any person—
(1)who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;

Note: punishable, not whatever lower sentence might have actually been imposed. State law may not regard him as a prohibited person, but federal law certain does.

Michigan should have reported him to NICS. Did they? When was the murder weapon purchased?

Could this have been prevented by the state simply following existing law, instead of gleefully embracing it as a chance to pass more victim-disarming people-control laws?

Texas To Raise Firearm Purchase Age?

That’s what state Senator Roland Gutierrez wants to do.

Texas State Sen. Gutierrez announces ‘common sense gun safety’ bills</a
In a news release sent out Tuesday morning, Gutierrez’s office said the bills will address purchasing age requirements, a bulk ammunition database and the safekeeping of firearms.
[…]
Gutierrez started the conference by stating that he is not looking to take guns away; rather he wants the state to raise the age requirement of those who can purchase firearms from 18 to 21.

Given the BRUEN test of general historical tradition, that is likely to backfire on him. The general (federal) tradition at the time was The Militia Act of 1792, which specified:

“That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia”
[…]
“That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock

18 year-olds must be armed. So raising the age won’t fly. And federal courts are beginning to agree.

The “backfire” part lies in the current law, 10 U.S. Code § 246 – Militia: composition and classes: “able-bodied males at least 17 years of age“.

Seventeen year-old males are in the militia.

Should Gutierrez’s proposal pass and be signed into law, court challenges — under BRUEN precedent — are very likely to force lowering the minimum age to purchase a firearm.

I think his other bills — safe storage, ammunition background checks and registration, liability insurance, etc — should also be reexamined in light of BRUEN. I think you’ll find Associate Justice Thomas’s words on surety interesting, when considering the liability insurance proposal:

…the surety statutes presumed that individuals had a right to public carry that could be burdened only if another could make out a specific showing of “reasonable cause to fear an injury, or breach of the peace.

The closest thing to firearm liability insurance only began happening in the mid-19th century, and then only for those against whom a credible and specific showing of a threat had been made (take note of that for “red flag” laws, too).

In case you wondered, Gutierrez is a Dimwit-ocrat; adf the Dims are being very slow to catch on to the nuances of BRUEN, and the new original playing field.

If A Tree Falls In The Forest

You know the old saying, if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or something like that…

If a right exists but it is ignored or not acknowledged, is it still a right?

This is a long clip from Tucker Carlson from a few days ago, but it all applies to the Second Amendment, and almost equally as important is how it is being respected in America’s judicial system.

Or not respected would be more accurate.

Here is more on the Arizona court case Tucker referred to, the one decided by an elected swamp dweller named Emilio Velasquez, the “judge” who isn’t even a lawyer. UPDATE: The Disturbing Details in Case of Illegal Alien Allegedly Killed by Arizona Rancher they also mention the illegal alien had been deported multiple times.

Tucker talked about how “Go Fund Me” a leftist social justice site that helped bail out anti-American activists from antifa and BLM to allow them to continue to burn down private property, public property and attack remote and disinterested parties. But absolutely will not allow funds to be raised for the elderly rancher who defended his family and property. Because….wait for it….violence. Leftist hypocrisy at it’s finest. They are the same piece of crap group that stole the money raised to help the Canadian truckers. They’re the left, they steal, that’s how they roll.

Tucker didn’t mention it, but there is another, more responsible, fund raising group out there, it’s called “Give Send Go”. They have several campaigns running right now by people trying to raise money to help the man. https://www.givesendgo.com/site/search?text=George+Alan+Kelly

I’m hoping family and neighbors are helping the poor wife out. That poor poor woman, my heart hurts for her. Perhaps since illegals aren’t an issue for the “Honorable Emilio G. Velasquez” 2160 N. Congress Drive Suite 2100 Nogales, AZ 85621, may I humbly suggest to Customs and Border Patrol I’ve found a couple of new places to park illegal aliens to be processed, the other is his house as the left has shown us that people hanging out around judge’s homes these days really isn’t a “deal”. I bet the Judge would be delighted to help process a few million illegals, maybe put them up for a few nights with his family, till their paperwork is processed.

He might want to consider adding an addition to his house…

Nicaragua has freed 222 political prisoners and sent them to the U.S.

The government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has released 222 political prisoners and put them on a flight to Washington, D.C., officials in both countries said Thursday.

My buddy in Nicaragua said basically they are emptying out the jails. The above report is from npr, so take it with a 50 lb block of salt, I imagine they are sending lots of other prisoners here who have no connection to opposing Ortega. But being npr, they wouldn’t speak about that.

Tip of the Stetson to my buddy Steve for the info.

A recent report from Michael Yon Heart Dump From the Frontlines speaks about the invasion force already in the US, and on it’s way courtesy of Biden and the Demoncrats.

This is an obvious invasion force. Most of them likely have no idea yet. As a former Green Beret, and having spent many years in many wars and conflicts, and an equal time with nose in history books — this all is amazingly clear.

My estimation: They will later be armed with phones. Many will be assembled in camps within USA. Most will be left to the wilds.

They will be indoctrinated to hate white folks — including Asians, and anyone else seen as ‘white’, such as blacks who are not wildly racist against whites. When Stalin did similar in Ukraine before and during the great famine, this phase of genocide was called “kulakisation.” They labeled people they wanted to exterminate as ‘kulaks.’ Jews will be familiar with the process. Historically speaking, this is common. In America, you are labeled racist.

These terms generally are fuzzy and made to velcro onto anyone for anything. People who were weaponized against kulaks, Jews, and so many others in history, are made to hate the target group. And they are armed and without rules. After they are ready and armed, their food will be cut off.

I doubt it’s just me that thinks Mr. Kelly in Arizona had darn good reason to shoot the many times deported illegal alien. And if the Biden crime regime had done their work, he’d be alive as he wouldn’t have been back in the U.S. I won’t even get into (at least in this column) what else is coming in. But I’ll just give one word, Haitians. The ones the Dominicans build walls against.

Meanwhile in Israel, with the election of more candidates from the right, the country might take a turn for the more logical, survivable pathway. Police Chief Rabbi: Rabbis should advise congregants to carry legal firearms on Shabbat

The Chief Rabbi of the Israel Police penned an open letter on Tuesday addressed to rabbis throughout Israel urging them to advise their congregants to carry legal and licensed firearms on Shabbat.

In his letter, Rabbi Rami Brachyahu said that this measure was necessary in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Neve Yaakov in which seven people were murdered outside of a synagogue where most did not carry arms because of the Shabbat..

5 suspects tied to Jerusalem synagogue massacre

Jerusalem terrorist’s mother, uncle, and three others arrested after deadly shooting suspected of being involved in the attack.

Deport them, to Jordan the day after they are convicted. They do not go home, they do not collect their $200 and they do not pass go. Their home is destroyed and their entire families (extended) are deported with them. Do this for a couple years, just give it a shot, then we’ll see how things are, shall we?

I think National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is the best thing since chocolate and peanut butter mixed.

Ben Gvir after attack: I ordered Operation Defensive Shield 2 in eastern Jerusalem

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Friday afternoon said he had instructed the Commissioner of Israel Police and senior officials in the Jerusalem District to prepare for “Operation Defensive Shield 2 in eastern Jerusalem” starting on Sunday.

“The purpose of the operation is to fight and root out terrorism, to reach the terrorists’ homes and to stop terrorism before it comes to carry out attacks,” said a statement issued by Ben Gvir’s office.

The statement, which was published just before the start of Shabbat in Israel, followed the deadly terrorist attack in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem, in which two people were murdered and five were injured.

Not backing down: Ben-Gvir determined to launch operation in eastern Jerusalem

National Security Minister Itamar repeated his intentions on Saturday evening to launch a significant operation in eastern Jerusalem to quell terrorism.

“I am determined to launch ‘Operation Defensive Sheild 2’ in Jerusalem. To those officials who are speaking against me: the police have the authority to demolish illegal houses, arrest over 150 suspected terrorists, raid houses, stop the incitement in the mosques, detain those who owe taxes, and more. The security cabinet is important, and I will request additional things there, but governance is crucially important, and I will make sure it stays that way,” Ben-Gvir wrote on social media.

Ben Gvir reprimands police district commander after violent Jerusalem protest

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Thursday evening summoned the commander of the Jerusalem District of the Israel Police to reprimand him in the wake of what he described as “the loss of control of the police in the capital city to a group of anarchists”, during a protest of left-wing activists led by the Crime Minister movement.

“The Jerusalem Police lost control over the anarchists. An incident in which burning tires were set on fire near the Prime Minister’s Residence, Highway 1 was blocked, and light rail traffic was blocked – these are all extremely serious incidents in which police and security forces were on the scene, but were explicitly instructed not to enforce the law and not to confront the rioters,” said Ben Gvir.

Sic ‘em Itamar!! The left is having hissy fits over Ben Gvir. I think I’m in love.

For too long decent men and women in law-enforcement, and yes I think there are some, have been told to yield the rights and safety of law-abiding citizens to the mob. The people just trying to get to work and home are made to suffer so the left can virtue signal, threaten and intimidate. The people paying taxes are made into a slave class. They finance the very government that turns against them, their safety and their rights.

What were those law enforcement officers standing against the wall thinking as elderly Mr. Kelly asks to be able to speak to his wife? Why are there so many of them in the room? Why aren’t they out rounding up illegals so the landowners don’t need to worry about the safety of themselves, their families and their livestock? Nope, those young men are safe inside a nice building watching a elderly man they failed who used his G-d given rights, his rights acknowledged by Arizona. His rights ignored by a piece of crap named Emilio Velasquez. But here’s the thing Emmy, I can call you Emmy right? Life has a way of making things right, sometimes, not always, but sometimes.

Our Parsha yesterday was Yitro, Exodus 18:1-20:23. Yitro is Jethro, Moshe’s father in law, who was a very learned man. There is a teaching that says when Pharaoh decided he wanted to thin out and kill off part of the Jews he was unsure of which course of action to take. Pfizer didn’t have a shot available yet, so he turned to his trusted advisers. Three of them actually. Balaam, Job, and Yitro. Balaam recommended genocide, said he could put in a call to Fauxci for him if Pharaoh liked? A very evil man. Job was silent, he remained silent in the face of evil. Yitro said “No only NO, but HELL NO!! This here is flat evil and I’m not having any part of it!” And he fled to Midian. Balaam is later killed in a war with Israel. Job, was punished for his silence with his many trials and tribulations later. Yitro later became Moshe’s father-in-law and was a very righteous man who’s search for G-d ended when he found the G-d of his son-in-law. Great Midrash (teaching) isn’t it??

Are you following this Emmy? Life has a way….

But Yitro was more than a man in search of the one true G-d in our history. Yitro had a huge impact on the future legal system. From the Second reading of the Parsha for last week:

13It came about on the next day that Moses sat down to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from the morning until the evening.

14When Moses’ father in law saw what he was doing to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing to the people? Why do you sit by yourself, while all the people stand before you from morning till evening?”

15Moses said to his father in law, “For the people come to me to seek God.

16If any of them has a case, he comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make known the statutes of God and His teachings.”

17Moses’ father in law said to him, “The thing you are doing is not good.

18You will surely wear yourself out both you and these people who are with you for the matter is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.

19Now listen to me. I will advise you, and may the Lord be with you. [You] represent the people before God, and you shall bring the matters to God.

20And you shall admonish them concerning the statutes and the teachings, and you shall make known to them the way they shall go and the deed[s] they shall do.

21But you shall choose out of the entire nation men of substance, God fearers, men of truth, who hate monetary gain, and you shall appoint over them [Israel] leaders over thousands, leaders over hundreds, leaders over fifties, and leaders over tens.

22And they shall judge the people at all times, and it shall be that any major matter they shall bring to you, and they themselves shall judge every minor matter, thereby making it easier for you, and they shall bear [the burden] with you.

23If you do this thing, and the Lord commands you, you will be able to survive, and also, all this people will come upon their place in peace.”

G-d gave us a beautiful world, he gave a contract, that if followed, we could live in harmony with each other and he will dwell among us. The left hates that, they want the worship due to G-d and they want to push him as far out of his world as possible.

But these rights? They still come from G-d, they left may act as though they give and take them, but that’s not how it will end up. They can ignore our rights, they can act as though they don’t exist. But G-d gave them to us, their opinion does not nullify his gifts.

Even if I had a crystal ball, it would probably look more like a shaken snow globe right now, things are so crazy, but here, here is one thing I know. There are elements within the legal system in Israel that are starting to stand for the rule of law, there are elements of the legal system within America and I think the good people of both have about had their fill of being used and abused by a corrupt legal system. Emmy the non-lawyer is an elected official. I hope the people of Arizona can do better. I’d like to see Emmy removed from office, tomorrow. You know, in the Second reading above, God fearers, men of truth, who hate monetary gain, I’m very curious, who paid for Emmy’s campaign? Does Emmy have any other source of income? See, there is a reason Yitro said that. We already know Emmy isn’t worried about G-d. So, monetary gain?

But no matter what, corrupt legal system or no, rights come from G-d. אין עוד מלבדו

There is none but him.

Possibly The Marines Need to Work On Their Marksmanship

Because, after reading this “expert report” by retired Marine Colonel Craig Tucker, I’m wondering how many of those “9 assassination attempts” were failed, not-so-friendly-fire fragging attempts.

Tucker’s report is a court filing in support of California’s assault weapon ban et al. Go ahead and read it. It’ll infuriate and amuse you:

Stabilizing devices (for more accurate shooting) are bad. (Pistol grips.)

Destabilizing devices are bad, because shooting is less accurate. (That refers to unlocked(!?) folding stocks on M4s. Do the Marines issue M4s with folding — not adjustable — stocks?)

Flash hiders hide the flash from the enemy.

Swapping magazines is the most important thing Marines are taught. (See title re:marksmanship)

The M16/M4 is specifically rifled to make bullets tumble.

“A single round [of .223!] is capable of severing the upper body from the lower body”

The semi-auto AR-15 is functionally identical to the full-auto M4.

And apparently the Marines are now buying M4s specifically chambered for .223 Remington, not 5.56 NATO.

This guy must have been a joy to serve under, and I’d like to hear from anyone who had that… privilege. Well, I guess there was a Captain who served under him and presumably enjoyed it, even if it got Tucker relieved of command (and apparently driven into retirement).

There’s another court filing in rebuttal to Tucker’s not-very-expert opinion. J. Buford Boone all but says outright that Tucker is full of s**t. He might as well.

His claim that a single small arms projectile is capable of “severing the upper body from the lower body, or decapitation” is so ridiculous that it should, and actually does, cast doubt on his qualifications as an expert in the field of firearms, particularly as it relates to wound ballistics.

California must be pretty darned desperate if the’re having to bring in Tucker as an expert.

MRI and Guns Do Not Mix

I’d only heard of this happening once before, several years ago. But it seems it’s happened since. And now again.

Lawyer dies three weeks after MRI machine’s magnetic field triggers his hidden gun to go off while taking his mother for a routine medical visit at a Brazilian lab
Mathias, a married father-of-one, was accompanying his mother to an appointment at Laboratorio Cura and forgot to remove his 9mm weapon from his waistband after entering the imaging room, according to Brazilian news outlet G1.

Police said that the MRI machine’s magnetic field pulled the concealed gun away from his waist.

The gun hit the machine and the impact caused it to discharge one bullet that struck him in the abdomen.

Yes, he was told to leave his possession behind before entering the room, and specifically metal objects.

He “forgot.”

Yes, the magnetic field from a magnetic resonance imager is strong enough to grab objects a few feet away.
