Senator Fauxcahontas Warren, the wannabe-commie dictator out for genocide through mandated “carbon-free” (not -neutral, -free) energy and housing, has decided to start with the Gun Culture. Her horrific gun people control bill ( SB 3254) has everything a police state tyrant could possibly want, including the neutered kitchen sink. How bad is it? Well, her House co-conspirator is high-on-helium Hank “Tippy” Johnson, noted loon and midget/giant cage match fan.
I could write pages about Warren’s “assault weapon” ban, but let’s just say that unless your semi-auto rifle somehow made it onto the approved list, it’s most likely banned. All it takes is that it can accept a detachable magazine and one of several other features. The kicker is that “pistol grip” is one of them. And what, pray tell is a pistol grip?
‘‘(46) The term ‘pistol grip’ means a grip, a thumb-hole stock or Thordsen-type grip or stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip.
If you can hold it, it has a grip.
There is a grandfather clause for existing arms lawfully possessed.
There’s so much more in that bill that I cannot cover it all in less than the 260 pages of the original. But I do want to address the new universal firearm owner licensing part.
‘‘§ 932. License to own firearms and ammunition ‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—Except otherwise provided in this section, it shall be unlawful for any individual who is not licensed under this section to knowingly purchase, acquire, or possess a firearm or ammunition.
Elsewhere, I have written about the new tactic adopted by gun-controlling victim-disarmers: writing laws that make compliance impossible. This is yet another effing example. This license would have a training requirement, which includes a written test on law, and a “hands-on testing, including firing testing”. That “Except otherwise provided” does not include an exception for license training and testing; therefore possessing a firearm in a class or test to obtain a license would be illegal. No license = no gun = no test = no license.
While those currently in lawful possession of firearms do not require a license for those firearms, you’ll still need to get a license for any newly acquired firearm first. But new owners? Not anymore. Gun ownership would lawfully end with this generation.
Assuming you’ve jumped through all the fake Indian’s and Georgian village idiot’s hoops, the license is still may issue. On top of all the usual prohibited person restrictions, they added another qualifier: “unsuitability.” This is… similar to “red flag” orders. If the ATF doesn’t want to issue a license, they go to a judge and tell them your aren’t suitable and -gavel bam- you’re a prohibited person.
Where “unsuitability” differs from a “red flag” order is in the standard of evidence. ERPOs require an unsubstantiated allegation — no proof required, because proof would be grounds for an arrest anyway — that a person currently poses a possible threat to himself or others.
“Unsuitability” actually manages to limbo its way below that.

Did you ever criticize Warren or Johnso… Wait. Did you ever not criticize either of those moronic motherhumpers?
Or, as an astonishingly ignorant psycho (don’t click that unless you can spare the brain cells) emailed me a couple of days ago:
“Those who really really want a gun are the very ones who really really should not be able to get a gun.”
— rackjite
I’m sure you’ve heard that sentiment — that anyone who wants a gun is unsuitable to have one.
Or… I’ve publicly related stories of times when muggers decided I was a threat to them sufficient to decide to run away. I’ve demonstrated that I’m potentially a threat to the Democrats’ core constituency. No license for me.
What about you?

That permission slip thing….yeah. It reminds me of when you had to get a permission slip from the Sheriff to buy a gun. I went in one day to get a permission slip to buy a gun. The deputy (at the time, now Sheriff, sadly) made the comment he thought people were mistaken thinking they could use guns to defend themselves. I thought he was just anti-armed civilians. Related my experience when I went back to the gun shop to pick up my gun. The guys in the shop were surprised, there experience with the guy was he was one of the better ones. Huh, so it seemed he just didn’t want to give a girl the permission slip.
Fast forward about 20 years. The deputy is now Sheriff, I’m in the middle of a very contentious divorce the ex-husband chose. I changed the locks when he gave the key to someone, wouldn’t tell me who, or if they made copies, if they made copies who they gave them to. So, I changed the locks. In the beginning we had agreed if he needed anything from the house we would just pick a time I was off work and he could get it. He doesn’t work, so it’s not that complicated. Apparently he had a chat with the Sheriff who advised him to “kick her f*ing door in”. Ahh, and suddenly it became clear why he didn’t want to give girls permission slips to own guns.
Fauxcahontas and other politicians are more of the same.
Here in Kommiecticut, we ignore unconstitutional/intolerable acts perpetrated on the peaceable citizens of this state. It’s called Armed Civil Disobedience.
No permission is required, and the wannabe tyrants remain frightened into inaction.
I live in Michigan. I used to think it was a sort of pleasant place to live. You know, not much in the way of trouble at all with firearms, though I only had rifles and shotguns. Never bothered by any laws at all, they were all hand me downs you know.
Then Barack Hussein Obama got elected. I immediately joined the NRA. Michigan became a shall issue state and I got my CCW and started on my journey with carrying, starting from a cheap, H and R 9 shot revolver with a 6 inch barrel, that I already owned, to a 9mm Makarov, that I got cheap, slowly but surely moving up, all the while seeing the fun of having to, each time I bought a new pistol,take a copy of the purchase permit to my local police station to allow them to have a copy of my serial number.
It is not as bad as it used to be, you used to have to take the gun in for a ” function” test, now you just bring the paper in.
I at one time or another got pissed off at the NRA, and joined the GOA, and quit them. A couple of years passed, and then, in a moment of weakness I joined the NRA again. I decided that I wanted to have the ability to be able to try to be part of the solution. Then all hell broke loose with the leadership, and I had to decide if I wanted to stay. I decided that my reasons for rejoining had not changed, only a brighter light had been shined upon the misdeeds going on up top. And with a group of people who really seemed to be serious about trying to get rid of those who are killing the true mission of the NRA working together, I have decided to ride it out, only I won’t give any money except to maintain my membership until I see results. And I continue to contact board members letting them know that they are being watched, along with a lot of others.
With the way that things are going in this country, I believe that we are going to need an organization that will help us to focus our efforts at keeping our 2nd amendment rights. And if the NRA gets it’s act together, they can be that group. I hope it is not too late.
