Nobody is coming to take your guns

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.

Finally, some evidence of right wing domestic terrorism

Recent months have seen a  lot of histrionics about “right wing domestic terrorism,” including tarring the Proud Boys as white supremacists, while kinda ignoring the fact that their leader is this guy:

Yeah, not exactly standard white supremacist leadership material, but, hey, what are facts doing trying to get in the way of a narrative?

So, after half a year of leftists doing billions in property damage, directly murdering dozens and indirectly murdering hundreds to thousands by:

  1. Tying up police and fire resources
  2. Advocating for the defunding of police, in many cases succeeding, leading to greatly reduced policing in many areas

… the media continues to enable leftist violence and mayhem and murder while screeching about nearly universally phantom right wing violence. Until today! Finally, something for them to crow about!

13 charged in plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said:
“The individuals in (state) custody are suspected to have attempted to identify the home addresses of law enforcement officers in order to target them, made threats of violence intended to instigate a civil war, and engaged in planning and training for an operation to attack the capitol building of Michigan and to kidnap government officials, including the governor of Michigan.”
Yes, indeed, bad people planning bad things. But take the first two claims: targeting law enforcement officers and threatening violent insurrection. UMMMMMMM… hello, ALL THE REST OF 2020???

Neither impressed.

Harris: combining smugness with seeming to be perpetually on the edge of tears? Bleah.

Pence: Traditional Republican… mild, passed up many opportunities to correct Harris’ falsehoods, basically let himself be walked all over.

Gimme Zombie Reagan.

Bad ideas are universal. Witness “Ronan Point,” a remarkable British example of housing done wrong. Like Cabrini Green and Pruitt-Igoe, this was an idea for stacking as many people as possible as cheaply as possible, with the result that workmanship was criminally shoddy. Humans are not meant to be packed into dense little areas, as recent examples of American cities bursting into flames attest.

Lesson: if your city is overcrowded, instead of densepacking people look for ways to offload people. For starters: don’t import masses that not only you don;t need, but that you cannot afford.

Just in time for Biden’s America

Gucci is getting in on the ground floor of Gropey Joe’s America, where “Manhood” will be a bad thing:

Tartan cotton long smock shirt

Style ‎632536 ZAFDL 7261

Inspired by grunge looks from the ‘90s and styled over ripped denim pants, this tartan smock in delicate colours reflects the idea of fluidity explored for the Fall Winter 2020 fashion show, disrupting the toxic stereotypes that mold masculine gender identity. The contrast Peter Pan collar and smock embroidery on the front add a childhood inspired element, which ties to a recurrent theme of the collection. Pieces with versatile ways to wear and style embrace each person who is part of the House’s individual spirit.

 

The price of this Stunning And Brave “look at me, I’m confused” uniform? A mere € 1,900, or about $2,236 in the financial units that sent Men to the Moon. Don’t worry, though… if the man in your life – and that could be you – wears this, he’s not going to be drafted to go to the Moon and fight for humanity’s future.

Below: a visual representation of what “dead inside.”

Lest you think that this is Gucci’s way of jumping on the “let’s emasculate white men” bandwagon, they seem to hate *all* males of every race. Behold:

Yup, you read that correctly: “impotent.” Trust that someone, somewhere, will actually spend good money on that and wear it proudly.

Trump back at the White House

I gotta admit this seems strange. All the news coming out with conflicting stories about how well – or poorly – he’s doing, that he’s taking steroids that are to be used only for those CommieCough sufferers whose lung function has been badly compromised (but which screws up the immune system), that his oxygen levels have fallen several times or that he’s doing just great… it’s all a bit odd. I won’t be too surprised if it turns out that a whole lot of lefties become convinced that he didn’t actually have Covid, that this was all a show. Because if Trump wanted to show how tough he was, being in the hospital for like two days then returning to work apparently hale and hearty would be just the way to do it.

Of course he could be feeling as bad as Joe Bidens thought process or Kamala Harris’s policy positions sound, and it’s only the very latest in advanced meds that makes him look like he’s doing fine. That it’s all a show to project strength and vitality that ain’t really there. Well, if that’s a problem for ya, I got one thing to show you:

Because what the United States needed during the Great Depression and World War II was a constant hammering home that the President was as physically weak as his financial policies. Clearly the way to confront dire threats at home and abroad is to depress the hell out of everybody.

Biden supporter gives a show of hands:

Biden supporters provide their most deeply thought-out arguments, the best their intellects could manage:

“An idea” attacks a woman, drags her to the ground and attempts to steal her stuff:

I do wonder why the men around her didn’t come to her aid a bit more vigorously.
