There are no monies being funneled by political action groups and lobbyists to politicians to ban knives… yet.   Comrade Karl is not interested.

Maybe she is proving this old joke / saying to be true…

If you’re not a “liberal” when you are young, you don’t have a heart. If you’re not a “conservative” when you’re old, you don’t have a brain.

Her dad is a big supporter of 2A here locally. 
Maybe he has something to do about it?

Here is a recent and an old article between the dynamics of their political stances

General Discussion / Re: Best online firearms vendors, new and used?
« on: March 21, 2024, 10:57:54 AM »
Depends what type of firearm. 

Pistols - I'd first try to have a LGS special order from their vendors.
ARs/AKs - Probably same as for pistols, depending what I was looking for.  Been years since I've bought an AR lower or AK though.
Bolt Action - I've ordered .22lr from Buds, and others were custom built, where builder sourced parts.

I've not personally used GunBroker, but I know many who have.  Seems like hit or miss, but like anything, need to be wary/careful.  If something seems too good to be true, probably is.  Don't recommend taking "calculated risks".

Haha, I remember what you are referring to.  Something to do with Paypal and $200.

Legal and Activism / FIRE MISSION SB3196 Senate Floor Vote on 3/5/24

To vote Marx out, we need to build alliances with other non-2a groups who would like to see him removed.  So our votes plus their votes need to add up to beat Marx because 2A alone does not seem to be a strong enough reason to get him voted out.

What other groups?  I dont know.  Scratching my head in the dark.

Churches?  Clubs?  Etc.  “Groups” in his district.  Maybe we should ask ChatGPT?

Political Discussion / Election Integrity?
« on: March 02, 2024, 09:10:11 AM »
Is there a way we can ensure our elections are not fraudulent, free from counting inaccuracies and free from interference?

They can’t even count the testimonies correctly. 

Is there any interest or movement towards

- requiring of voter ID

- one day elections

- in-person voting

- neutral election observers and reporting

After seeing all that Trump has had to endure from the DNC attacks, I am convinced that Trump has a spine made of steel.

I have a method of decoding their language.

Whenever a compromised DNC politicians accuses their opponents of something- it is actually is what they are guilty of.   I’s like they are using an Uno Reversal card.

I don’t think we should look the other way.  But direct action may not always be the best choice.

Being the best witness = getting as much info possible to identify and get the bad guys put behind bars.

I’ve been in a similar 7-11 situation mentioned earlier.  No gun involved but property crime. 

If someone pulls a gun on you and points it at you, then thats a different story.

In this particular case, female shoplifter leaves without paying.   Possible male accomplice in the store standing in line observing. 

I was in the store with my family so I asked the clerk, what are you gonna do about it?  She said that person has been there before and did the same thing. 

I asked if she was going to report it to the police. She called a co-worker to see if she could find the shoplifter.  I said you probably have camera footage to report it to the police and pull footage. Cops need footage to find out to who go after. 

I got my family out of there and didn’t stay long enough to find out what happened after.

I remember that episode.  Interesting dilemma.

When in Rome, can one expect to be treated using laws other than that of the Romans? 

When in Russia, does one expect Russian laws to be differently applied if one was American? Singapore?

Can we expect God given rights listed in the Bill of Rights to be observed in countries other than the USA?

I recalled a really good advice from somewhere that I thought made a lot of sense.

If you find yourself in the scene to a crime, it is up to you if you want to get involved or not, especially if you are a CCW.

Barring extreme circumstances such as bodily harm or death to the victim, the best advice I saw from an ex-cop was: "get yourself to a safe place, call it in and be the best witness possible."

I can't think of any downsides to this one, especially if the situation doesn't involve you.
