When to believe a politician

If a politician promises to do wonderful things for you, to do the things you want him to do… it’s safe to disbelieve him. When the politician promises to *harm* you, you’re well advised to take him at his word.

“Assault weapons” here means the AR-15, the most popular rifle in America. “High capacity” magazines mean “standard capacity” magazines used not only in AR-15’s but in most common pistols. Joe Biden wants to make tens of millions of Americans instant felons. he wants to enact laws that will, if he could Thanos-snap his reality into existence, lead to an increase in violent crime. And in the real world, he’d drag the US miles closer to an all-out civil war. He wants a million Ruby Ridges, to replay the Battle of Concord and have the Redcoats win.

Tomorrow will be interesting.

National reciprocity

Our basic civil rights are up for vote again.

Donald Trump: I’ll Sign National Reciprocity if It Reaches My Desk

In order for the 2nd Amendment to be truly incorporated nation wide, concealed carry reciprocity would need to be federally mandated. Just as your divers license and marriage are recognized in all fifty states, so should your ability to carry. There are, unfortunately currently no such bills before Congress; but if Biden/Harris win, the Republicans would need to take over both houses of Congress with veto-proof majorities. And given the Harris-Biden teams obvious intention to pack the Supreme Court with political appointees, even if Congress passed such a bill and got it past a Harris veto, her lackeys in the 15-member USSC would simply shut it down.

Well, maybe. The North Koreans are as renowned for their honesty and their transparency as the Harris/Biden team, so it’s entirely possible this thing is made out of cardboard. Still, attention should be paid, and attention should be paid to development of a new American ICBM. The US land-based ICBMs are based on a design pushing *sixty* years old. Design something new… and road-mobile. Build a thousand of the missiles, and five thousand decoys.

The Biden Tax: what will *you* have to pay?

I saw a commercial a little while ago where Gropey Joe said something along the lines that he will only raise taxes on people making more than $400,000 per year. But as mentioned yesterday, he wants to make rifles and standard capacity magazines NFA items. This means that you will need to pay a tax on each one of these that you own. And that tax is $200. Per item.

Do you have an AR-15 with three magazines? That’s a $200 tax on a $500 rifle… and a $200 tax on a $12 magazine, times three. You owe the government $800. But do you also have a Glock with a half dozen magazines? That’s an extra $1200 for the magazines. Maybe you also have an AK-47 clone with a dozen mags. You now owe a further $2600. Maybe you have a Beretta with six mags. That’s another $1200. That’s an extra $5,800 you owe, just for the privilege of exercising a Constitutional right.

Maybe you’re an enthusiastic collector. You have a dozen rifles, each with forty magazines. This is not so many for someone willing to buy a gun a year, say. But you now owe the government $98,400. Otherwise it’s ten years in a Federal prison.

Biden/Harris: not even once.

Well… except this guy:

The Biden Plan to End Our Gun Violence Epidemic

Ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

Translation: common rifles and standard capacity magazines.

Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.

The NFA means that you give up your right to not have random, unreasonable search and seizure. You will no longer be secure in your home if you have a standard rifle.

Buy back the assault weapons and high-capacity magazines already in our communities.

Sell them to the government or else.

End the online sale of firearms and ammunitions. Biden will enact legislation to prohibit all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits, and gun parts.

Not only will he ban the online sale of guns and ammo, he’ll go after things like springs and nuts and bolts.

Put America on the path to ensuring that 100% of firearms sold in America are smart guns.

“Smart guns” are very expensive and unreliable. Which is doubtless the point.

Stop “ghost guns.”

He wants to ban common machine shop tools, the only way to prevent people from manufacturing their own firearms.

 

There are around 300 million firearms in the US, with 5 to 10 million of those being AR-15’s, millions more being AK-47’s and other “assault weapons.” In Biden’s America, all of those would become illegal. This means that Biden wants to Federally imprison *millions* of peaceful American citizens for no other reasons than they are exercising their Constitutional rights. Would Biden/Harris be able to get away with this patently unConstitutional set of laws if they rammed such legislation througha  Dem-controlled Congress? Would they be able to get away with it via executive order? The way the Supreme Court is currently set, you’d think there’d be a chance that reason could prevail and such a tyrannical set of laws would be overturned. But Biden has a solution for that: ha wants to pack the court.

Biden says he won’t divulge position on court packing until after election

When asked if he would pack the court in order to get his way, he could have said “no, of course not, everyone knows that that would be the most transparently tyrannical thing any modern President could do.” That’s not what he said.

If you want an example of “why don’t the cops rely on tasers” coupled with “why did they shoot him more than once,” well, Chicago delivers:

I was always reasonably sure that a taser, if it hit a guy, would stand a *real* good chance of immobilizing him. But added, ummm, mass seems to provide a cushion of sorts. And that guy took a *long* time to fall once they started riddling him with holes. I suspect pharmaceuticals may have played a role.

The Twitter video goes a few seconds longer and is substantially more graphic. If you’re in the mood to see someone shot in the throat shooting up a geyser of blood, hey, this is your lucky day:
