If Only Someone Regulated Firearms

I mentioned this on my personal blog yesterday, but I think the utter stupidity of Texas Rep. Escobar deserves more attention. This is jaw-dropping.

Dem Rep. Escobar: We Regulate Tobacco, Alcohol, Roadways — ‘Guns Should Be No Different’
Wednesday on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) doubled down on her call for guns to be regulated much like tobacco, alcohol, and roadways in the wake of the shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children dead.

As I said yesterday…

There’s this little known agency called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that regulates alcohol, tobacco, FIREARMS, and explosives, you effin’ ditz.

And what minuscule number of laws and regs might they they be enforcing in regards to firearms (in addition to the alcohol and tobacco they regulate)?

18 U.S. Code § 921

18 U.S. Code § 922

18 U.S. Code § 923

18 U.S. Code § 924

18 U.S. Code § 925

18 U.S. Code § 926

And all that is just a sampling of sections in Chapter 44. There’s always 26 U.S. Code § 5845, for another single example.

Then there’s the regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations; pages and pages and pages and…

That’s only at the federal level, Escobar. I suppose it’ll come as a shock to your tiny, ill-informed — yet somehow still legislating — pseudo-mind that every state, territory, federal district, civilian and military installation has their own additional.

Individual counties, cities, and towns pile on their own laws and regulations.

I think we may have just a few regulations on guns.

If you wish to contact Dimwit Escobar, to explain the statutory and regulatory facts of life to, you can contact her office HERE. Be aware that Escobar is one of those tyrannical types who likes to vote on national legislation, but is grossly afraid of national feedback. Her contact form requires you to enter a ZIP+4 within her district to pass “Go.”

79901-1443 should work, for those of you affected by her idiocy but not resident in her district.

Have fun.

  1. Is there some special test that people have to fail to be a democrat politician or voter? WHERE DO they get these people?? Is anyone else ever tempted to look around for Candid Camera after one of these people utters something like this? Related, is Candid Camera too old a reference?

  2. Just think how much government would improve if there was an IQ test given to politicians with a minimum requirement of room temperature?

  3. This is an example of the many political situations where it will be impossible to change the mind of someone who’s job (read: salary) depends on them taking the wrong position.

  4. I don’t blame politicians for doing what they think they were elected to do. (First and foremost, politicians are bound by oath to follow the Constitution, not the whims of the masses.)

    I blame the selfish and ignorant voters who elect them. We need smarter voters. Thanks to JPFO for your efforts to educate the voters.

  5. I’d say you could safely bet large sums of money on that one. We all pretty much feel that way. It’s part of the reason The Zelman Partisans are here.

    But thank you for the compliment about educating (speaking for me here), I think we all try very hard to get people to see through and think through the rhetoric that comes out of politicians and the corporate media.
