COVIDaphobia Mania Running Wild Again?!

Today (Tuesday, 19 July 2022) I saw this post on Facebook highlighting the heroic actions of one Elisjsha Dicken, who neutralized the Greenwood Park Mall shooter in Indiana as a benefit of exercising his individual, human, Constitutional right to own and carry weapons.

OK, so the top part of the post is good to go —

Ison explained to WRTV, Dicken's first shot at the gunman was from 40-50 yards away and it appeared the very first shot hit the gunman.

Dicken was able to hit the gunman with additional rounds.

And more still —

22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken neutralized the Greenwood Park Mall shooter within 15 seconds. He engaged the bad guy from 40-50 yards away and 8 of the 10 rounds he fired found their target. He has no CPL and was carrying a pistol under Constitutional Carry. He is not ex-military or police, and has no formal training. His grandfather taught him how to shoot. Raise a glass this evening to American hero Elisjsha Dicken.

OK, folks, this is the bizarre part —

NOWHERE in the text posted by the "Not The Bee" page's admin(s) is there ANY mention of the Beer Bug.

So did Facebook's "fact checkers" mistakenly attach a warning about Koof misinformation to this post?

Or maybe Facebook is trying to smear a story supporting the Second Amendment narrative by hook or by crook, using the approach of "throw your underwear against the wall and see if it sticks" ?

Lindsey Graham's 30 Pieces of Silver, v. 2022?

It seems that Lindsey Graham, the "senior" Republican U.S. Senator from South Carolina, is getting his just rewards for supporting "common sense gun safety" legislation, namely "an agreement on principle for gun safety legislation Sunday, which includes 'needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can't purchase weapons.'"

Aside from the fact that Graham won't be up for re-election until 2026 (four years is almost an eternity where electoral politics is concerned), it seems that his recent "move to the center" in his quest to appease the hoplophobes and victim disarmers isn't quite reaping the rewards he wants (the hoplophobes and victim disarmers saying good things about him) —

H/T Steven Barnes — Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 1:33 PM MST

You see, instead of congratulating Graham for "moving to the center" and "meeting them halfway," the hoplophobes and victim disarmers are pissed at him for only giving them half a loaf, instead of the whole loaf and then some, such as outlawing civilian ownership of "assault weapons" such as AR-15-, M4- and AK-47-pattern rifles, and legalizing third-party litigation against gun manufacturers and retailers

So while Graham may get some accolades from the Necrotic Republican Association National Rifle Association for his pro-gun-when-it's-convenient rhetoric, I suspect that he won't get much traction with the rest of the right-to-own-and-carry-weapons crowd [GOA, FPC, etc.].

Ain't that a cryin' shame, now?

As they say in the South, "Bless your heart, Lindsey Graham."

Let's not forget that this isn't the first time that Graham has sided with the GOP's Invertebrate Caucus when it comes to defending the Second Amendment — he tried this sort of thing nine years ago.

Never mind that the proposed "universal" background check is the State demanding prior restraint on the exercise of a natural right — "How do we know that you're not an axe-murdering child rapist?!" — in other words, "prove your innocence first."

And, of course, the victim disarmers have included a plan for the federal Political Classholes to use your money tax dollars to bribe state-level Political Classholes to set up "red flag laws" (laws allowing someone to file a complaint against you and have your firearms taken away) in their states.

So what's their plan to take away the knives, axes, power tools, baseball bats, and anything else that can be used as a weapon from those alleged to be inclined towards criminal violence?

Oh, that's right, they don't have one. That's because their intent isn't to stop criminal violence, or to protect people.

As the infamous Senator Howard Metzenbaum said in 1989 —

"No, we're not looking at how to control criminals . . . we're talking about banning the AK-47 and semi-automatic guns."
— Constitution Subcommittee, 2 February, 1989

It’s interesting that in the places where the gun prohibitionist hold sway over the levers of power, it's not only firearms that are proscibed from possession by the Great Unwashed. They also prohibit private citizens who aren’t Political Classholes or in the employ of same to own or carry pepper spray, stunguns, tasers, switchblade knives, fixed-blade knives they don’t like, nunchuks, and batons. Now in New York State and California, they’re going after body armor.

Their intent is to render you and yours totally defenseless, dependent on your cell phone and ability to dial 9-1-1, and thus dependent upon them for protection, while regulating every aspect of your life.

Because they really do know better than you do how you should live.

For the Republicans who are on board, to whatever degree, with the hoplophobes and victim disarmers in the hopes of getting favorable media coverage, all I can say is "Don't need any support from me."

Bless your heart, Lindsey Graham. Bless your heart.

Don't Ask Why I Need an AR-15, Ask Why Cops Need AFVs

H/T Libertarian Party of Kentucky — Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at 12:17 PM MST

"But wait, there's more!" as the televised pitchmen say.

Those same hoplophobe and victim disarmers who demand that you surrender your AR-15- and your AK-47-style rifles so that they can have their momentary "warm fuzzy" that they "got something done" and "made a difference" — their sock puppets in the New York State Legislature want New Yorkers that aren't Political Classholes or in the service of same to surrender any privately-owned body armor in their possession:

Reason: New York's Body Armor Ban May Be Stupidest Gun Legislation Yet
