Here’s a link to H.R. 1808, a bill the Democrats are pushing that is *blatantly* unConstitutional. Anyone who signs it should be impeached, but here we are.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1808/text

To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.

The important bits:

“(36) The term ‘semiautomatic assault weapon’ means any of the following, regardless of country of manufacture or caliber of ammunition accepted:

“(A) A semiautomatic rifle that—

“(i) has a magazine that is not a fixed magazine; and

“(ii) does have any 1 of the following:

“(I) A pistol grip.

“(II) A forward grip.

“(III) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock, or is otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, size, or any other dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability, of the weapon.

“(IV) A grenade launcher.

“(V) A barrel shroud.

“(VI) A threaded barrel.

So, in short, an “assault weapon” is basically any semi-automatic rifle you are likely to come across.

And what do they want to do with these “assault weapons?”

It shall be unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a semiautomatic assault weapon.

They want to imprison or kill – perhaps both – tens of *millions* of Americans.

The Democrats don;t have the votes to pull this scheme off by themselves. They’ll need a few backstabbing “Republicans” to get onboard as well. Keep an eye on them.

Trolling with a purpose

Sometimes trolls troll just for the lulz. And sometimes… their trolling brings out important truths. Such is the case here where a comedian name of Alex Stein trolled AOC a *tiny* amount, and in response she showed her full-on hypocrisy.

According to her, it’s fine to harass *other* politicians and even judges when they disagree with her… but if *she* gets even the slightest, tamest bit of harassment, she not only deserves police protection from it, she wants to carry out acts of physical violence in response.

If you advocate it, expect it.

For a long time we’ve known that the supposedly “all about the science” political Left thinks that guns are evil. But they’ve expanded the field of non-sentient mechanisms that they think have unfortunate personality traits:

Huh.

I posted a link to this vid nearly two weeks ago, but this guy has a good time laughing at it. Some amusing and interesting discussion.

 

BTW, “the beautiful ones” is likely a reference to “Universe 25 ” or  an experiment with mice that showed that excess population density leads to disaster. A “rodent utopia” led to, among other horrors:

Consequently, the next generation of mice, having never experienced healthy mouse behaviour, had no concept of mating or parenting, or even territorialism. Some – dubbed the “beautiful ones” – spent their time eating, drinking, and grooming themselves in seclusion. Elsewhere, mice formed gangs of cannibalistic, raping plunderers.

Tell me that doesn’t sound a lot like modern cities. Go on. Tell me.

I wonder what would happen to the TikToker shown above if, on one of her drinking and partying binges after yet another empty, meaningless day of snacking, drinking and goofing off, she encountered some of the people that I’ve posted *other* kinds of videos about. Assuming she survived the experience with her brain still capable of rational thought, would she look at the world differently? Would she maybe reflect on her life spent accomplishing nothing and decide to maybe consider actually *doing* something?

I also wonder if she looks at young men whose greatest ambition is to spend all day playing online video games and thinks that *they* are losers.

The Legend of Sky King

After four years, security camera footage has been released that shows how Richard Russell stole a turboprop airliner from SeaTac airport. He flew around for a while having a grand old time, scaring the pants off air traffic control, before intentionally crashing the plane on an island.

 

What he did was criminal and potentially could have resulted in many, many deaths. But it seems he didn’t want to kill anyone but himself, and the way he went out, with such apparent joy both in the way he flew and the things he said, has made him something of a hero to many. There was clearly something wrong with the man (some thinking that he was dain bramaged from repeated concussions during high school football)… but he went out on his own terms, I suppose. And these days… that’s about the most a lot of people can even dream of hoping for.
