[UPDATE 2] Laugh of the Day: Andrea Chamblee

5 Comments

See updates below. This is  getting serious.

Maybe even the week. We’ll see.

Andrea Chamblee wants her some gun control, and she ‘s mad that State Sen. Bobby Zirkin “slow-walked” a universal preemptively-prove-your-innocence bill. But the funny part is why she wanted that passed.

…the bill that would make it illegal for already disqualified people to obtain rifles and shotguns at gun shows and other transfers. (emphasis added)

She thinks it’s legal for prohibited persons (“disqualified people”) to obtain rifles and shotguns.

So I tweeted to her that it’s been unlawful for prohibited persons to obtain firearms for decades Try to keep up. And that’s where it started getting funny.

From the NRA website:
“Maryland does NOT regulate the sale of rifles or shotguns and no permit is required to purchase a rifle or shotgun that is not an “assault weapon.” Nov 12, 2014
Keep up. Dumazz? Liar? Both!

Yes, in a discussion of prohibited persons, she’s citing the VNRA on Maryland state laws on long gun regulation. I cited 18 U.S. Code § 922(g), Gun Control Act of 1968. And laughed at her carefully considered and mature use of language.

Her response:

So the NRA webpage is lying? Whine to Putin.
Ok, Boomer?

-face palm- She still doesn’t grasp that she’s looking at the wrong reference. And I’ve got no clue what Putin has to do with this. Maybe she thinks 18 U.S. Code § 922 is a Russian law. Does that “§” look Cyrillic to you?

The “OK, Boomer” is great. That’s the first time anyone has pulled that on me. And this time seems a little… odd.

Unless she’s led a particularly hard life, I’d say she could easily be older than I. Somehow, I thought I’d first hear it from a Millennial or whatever they’re tagging younger folks as.

If Andrea wants to be a gun control activist, she really should learn something about gun control. I referred her to our Gun Culture Primer.

I needed those laughs. Gun People controlling victim disarmers aren’t usually so entertaining in their ignorance.

UPDATE: Holy Moley. Andrea Chamblee thinks MD Crim Law Code § 5-622(b) & 18 U.S. Code § 922(g) are a Russian conspiracy pushed by Putin, and that it’s actually lawful to sell rifles & shotguns to prohibited persons.

Is that really her, and she’s that fugbuck nuts? Or has someone hacked her Twitter account?

You know it’s legal to sell it to him. You’re just spreading Russian propaganda on behalf of Putin. Putin has figured out how to murder Americans. He just has other Americans do it. Other Americans who spread hate and conspiracy theories like you

If that’s Chamblee, and not some prankster trying to make her look bad, she’s in need of some serious professional help.

UPDATE 2: I’m heartbroken. </sarc>

I guess that was the real Chamblee. Hopefully someone will get her some help.

Overwhelming Military Force

I’ll just drop this here with one comment, to follow.

ABC News Airs U.S. Gun Range Video, Calling It a Syrian War Zone — Twice
The footage, which ABC News purported was of an attack on the border town of Tal Abyad, was aired Sunday on World News Tonight and Good Morning America on Monday morning. However, a comparison by Gizmodo shows the video was captured at Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky back in 2017.

Oh. My.

I would like Swalwell, Biden, O’Rourke, and Harris to note that what US gun owners consider play time is what a major news outlet can mistake for a major military offensive by the Forces of a NATO nation. Tell us again how resisting a tyrannical government is futile.

OK. Two comments: That’s funny.

Alden Dudley is seriously confused

Lately, I’ve been frustrated by all the firearm-related misinformation and outright lies. But occasionally it does get amusing.

Letter: Domestic terrorism
The National RIFLE Association was formed by and for hunters with no interest in or endorsement of military weapons.

The NRA, a group with which I have no affiliation (NRA delenda est), was formed by former military officers to encourage firearms ownership and training because they were appalled by the lack of marksmanship skills in recruits.

One of Mr Trump’s worst crimes is saying he will stop the senseless murders of innocent children and adults at churches, schools, and social gatherings when he still supports machine guns, etc.

Trump is on the record as supporting ex parte firearm confiscation orders, raising age limits to own firearms, universal preemptively prove your innocence checks, waiting periods, “assault weapons” bans, expanding NICS, and actually banned bump-fire stocks (as machineguns) by fiat.

How can a paramilitary group be permitted to collect tanks, jeeps, helicopters, transport vehicles, etc? Isn’t that a direct threat to democracy (Oklahoma City)?

What? Was there a military assault on OKC overnight? I missed that. All those tanks, jeeps, and helicopters must have been exciting.

How can their existence be legal? State governments have constitutional authority under the Second Amendment…

The Second Amendment doesn’t authorize anything; it forbids infringements. And the US Supreme Court has ruled that it applies to the states as well as the federal government.

Although Australia and New Zealand were created for cast-off prisoners of England, those countries have legislators wise enough to have strict gun laws. An unexpected benefit has been a significant decrease in suicides and intra-family murders.

Australia’s ban only saw 20% compliance. Violent crime overall increased immediately after the ban, but murders continued the same downward trend the country was previously experiencing.

New Zealand’s ban is seeing a mere 6.45% compliance rate, with compliance dropping with every “buyback” event. Since they’re only 2 months into the ban, it’s a little early to make claims about the effects on crime rates.

Legislators and the Supreme Court need to severely limit gun ownership, as in Australia.

Of course, there’s that pesky 2A thingie, not to mention millions of heavily armed, noncompliant SOBs. But I’m sure Dudley will volunteer to lead the stack on confiscation raids.
