Too Much Credit

What Liberals believe will happen:

Gangbanger 1: “Hey, man, that guy was disrespectful to me.  I’m going to kill him.  Give me your gun.”

Gangbanger 2: “No way, man.  There’s a new law: you must pass a background check first.”

Gangbanger 1: “Dang, man.  I guess I’ll go play some basketball instead.”

Joe Doakes

Joe gives gun grabbers too much credit. I doubt most of them consider the notion that there are people out there we already prohibit from owning guns. They think the good guys are the problem.

  1. I’m waiting for the day that some gangbanger makes one of the gun grabbers or better yet, a gun grabbing elected stooge, a victim. No one getting, hurt, but getting the proverbial fear of God instilled into them, maybe stealing their stuff. I doubt that would affect their thinking, but when these people aren’t recipients of criminal behavior, they think they can take away the rights of their subjects.

  2. Oh, yea. I have customers down in the George Floyd zone of fear. I’m waiting for the brave city clowncil member for that district go down there and take the scary black rifles away from the masked black thugs standing on the corners. Last week, a young black man and a 27 year old pregnant women were shot in the zone, but because the thugs wouldn’t let the police go in, the dude bled out and the woman’s baby was born prematurely, but later died. I’m waiting for someone to step up and condemn it.
    Some of those customers, a few of which have been in their locations for decades, are looking for exit strategies.

  3. The reprobates don’t believe their laws will keep black yutes from turning American cities into war zones; as long as their trendy areas are not too involved, they couldn’t care less.

    It’s like their concern with bat flu. They’ll put the hammer down on law abiding citizens in the name of public safety, and open the borders to let infected mobs in to spread it.

    When a reprobate sees a man with an AR15 fitted with a 30rnd magazine, it sees a man with the wherewithal to say “no”, and back it up. When a reprobate sees groups of dozens of such armed men, it sees a legitimate hedge against complete control.

    In a world where everyone carries an electronic spy with them at all times, and where any LEO can confiscate it and reproduce every move made and word spoken, reprobates still cannot know with certainty who is armed, and who is not. It drives them nuts.

    They’re not going to confiscate weapons, at least not in any of our lifetimes.

    For all the toothless bluster heard from dreaded militias and Oath Keepers that came to exactly nothing when our election was stolen in plain sight, reprobates at the top know that an order to disarm could not be enforced without stirring cosplay commandos into real action.

    They’ll just chip away at it one little bite at a time.

  4. They’re not going to confiscate weapons, at least not in any of our lifetimes.

    Wanna place a bet they will try now, that they paid off the municipalities with the Wuhan Flu “relief” bill and turned Armed Forces into a praetorian guard?

  5. I’m with Dr. Pete on this one. Actual confiscation would require door-to-door searches and that’s never going to fly in big cities. The manpower requirements alone would make it impossible, even if the public agreed to it. Conservative America is armed to the teeth and they know it.

    And I’m also with jpa on this one. I expect Democrats to pass an assault rifle ban, magazine ban, import ban, red flag law, universal background checks . . . all worthless for stopping crime but additional charges to be piled on anybody who uses a firearm for self defense. Disarmed by attrition is still disarmed.

    So what’s the answer? Darned if I know.

  6. In St. Paul a couple of months ago, one youth grabbed his friend’s gun and wouldn’t give it back. This resulted in an argument and the original “possessor” (not owner) being shot to death. Neither youth had a permit.

  7. JD, do not underestimate how depraved, zealous and mad with power the gungrabbers are. They will mobilize Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Police, IRS, DEA, National Guard, ICE, Sheriffs, deputies and deputy dogs and will set them on law abiding citizens to the exclusion of EVERYTHING else.

  8. imo:

    assault rifle ban: Not likely to happen. The SCOTUS has recognized weapons “in common use” to be protected. Not many weapons more in common use in the US today than AR and AK platform rifles.

    magazine ban has been tried in several shithole states, but I *think* it was struck down in CA by a Fed circuit court (the 9th, I think)

    import ban is probable, and of all these proposals is the only one that could be addressed at the fed level. Of course, it’s moot because there are thousands of manufacturers right here in the good ol’ USA.

    red flag laws and universal background checks could (and have been) enacted at the state level, but I don’t see them standing up to a SCOTUS challenge at the fed level.

  9. Dr.PS, you have a MAJOR flaw in your thinking. You assume (making an ass of yourself) that there are still laws in this country. How many of the latest barrage of EO’s are constitutional?

  10. Well, I’ll tell you what, sport. There are laws; they’re just being selectively enforced.

    If you detect a MAJOR flaw in the observation, why don’t you go rob a fucking liquor store, or pistol whip your mailman and report back to us how your superior take on the situation pans out. We’ll wait.

    Alas, DrPS, since I am a white male, the book will be thrown at me. If I was any of the protected class, that would be a different story, no? Commala would be the first in line to bail me out. But you are using a wrong comparison – you are using “simple” criminal case which has a completely different set of “rules” than laws trampled in pursuit to render 2nd amendment meaningless. Your comparison is not a valid one.

  12. I hope folks that live in these states call out this bullshit before it becomes accepted as fact. Saw a city near me in there, and I’ll be contacting that crap newsrag.
    ===========================================

    Hold it jpa. You said there “was no law”. I said there is, it’s just being enforced selectively.

    Exec orders are not law. Pedo Joe cannot mandate diddly squat to the states via EO; EO’s are only binding on federal employees. Are they unconstitutional? Well in Pedo’s case, they’re fucked up, but not unconstitutional as long as they do not trample on the Constitutional rights of the employees. But there is exactly zero chance Joe will enact any gun restrictions/regulations via EO….because he can’t

    The federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994 was a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which was passed by Congress.

    You stand corrected, lad.

  13. DrPS, how many state and federal laws were trampled during last election? May I remind you that SCOTUS found no standing for people with grievances. So do you REALLY think SCOTUS will treat EO’s as anything but law? As JD said, it will be death by a million cuts, but the outcome will be the same – 2nd amendment will be written out of the Bill of Rights and kids will be taught in school it never existed. And so it shall be. See, MO, this is how past is changed.

    Consider yourself standing corrected, sir.

  14. Speaking of a thousand cuts, the bleeding had started:

    The U.S. House of Representatives passed universal background check gun control Thursday, criminalizing private gun sales conducted apart from an FBI background check. The legislation, H.R. 8, sponsored by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA), passed by a vote of 227 to 203. H.R. 8 would expand retail point-of-sale background checks so as to cover private points-of-sale. This will criminalize an individual who sells a 5-shot revolver to a lifelong neighbor, unless that neighbor first undergoes a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check, conducted by the FBI.

  15. Geez. There already is a widespread, well-oiled black market in guns. This’ll just make it that much larger what with all the guns that have been purchased since St. Obama.

  16. Regarding the Brady check and universalizing it, not only is there a robust black market, but it’s also worth noting that background checks really only catch about half of potention problem people–everybody has their first conviction. So interestingly, lifelong neighbor is a better bet than “passed the Brady Check”.

    And then for those who would sell without the Brady check, cash only transaction and “oopsie, somebody must have pulled that out of the water….” I don’t see how you prosecute easily.

  17. Okay, listen up, class. Today we’re talking about being Good Citizens. A Good Citizen is one who does what the Government tells them to do. The Government says they must know who owns guns so Bad Guys can’t get them and hurt little children and babies. Do you know anybody who has a gun? Your Dad or Mom? Grandpa, Uncles, neighbors? Anybody? We’re going to have a contest – the student who writes down the most names of gunowners gets a prize! Ready? Okay, start writing!

  18. 8 rinos voted for this bill. Still think law is on your side, DrPS? For how long?

  19. Following Thursday’s House passage of a Democrat gun control bill, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced a ban on 205 “assault weapons.”

    How’s that “safe” feeling about the law feeling about now, DrPS?

  20. Not gonna happen, jpa.

    Supreme Court Confirms 2A Applies to all Bearable Arms

    In a historic, but extremely short unanimous opinion, the United States Supreme Court has confirmed that the Second Amendment applies “to all instruments that constitute bearable arms,”.

    Held:
    1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a
    firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for
    traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.
    Pp. 2–53.
    (a) The Amendment’s prefatory clause announces a purpose, but
    does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative
    clause. The operative clause’s text and history demonstrate that it
    connotes an individual right to keep and bear arms. Pp. 2–22.

    …2. Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited.
    It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any
    manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment
    or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast
    doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by
    felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or
    laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of
    arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those
    “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition
    of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.

    Pp. 54–56.

    Reprobates gonna reprobate, jpa. They’ll toss out all manner of heinous, anti-American shit to see what they can get to stick. But a ban on AR and AK platform rifles ain’t gonna fly.

    If and when SCOTUS overturns itself, we’ll have a problem, jpa. Given their aversion to creating chaos, demonstrated by their willingness to turn aside clear evidence of election fraud, I don’t think they have the stomach for it.

    ‘Till then, I’ll keep my powder dry.

  21. If it was possible to ban AR and AK platforms, California would have done it.
