President Trump’s Top Six Pro-Gun Moments of 2017

It's not what President Trump has done for gun owners that should be of note, but what our so called friends have not.

It must be noted that Trump’s list of pro-gun accomplishments would have been much longer if the Republican-led House and Senate had acted quicker on pro-gun measures like national reciprocity, the Hearing Protection Act, and a repeal of the gun ban for military veterans. As it now stands, the House passed national reciprocity but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has shown no interest in getting it through the Senate. The Hearing Protection Act was just days away from a vote in October, when House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) shelved it indefinitely. And the repeal of the gun ban for military veterans passed the House on March 16, 2017, but was never taken up by the Senate.

Will Smith and his orc partner find a magic wand and things go south. Corrupt cops want it. Gangbangers want it. The original elf owner wants it, and two honest street cops have it. My understanding is this project went to Netflix because the director, Davis Ayers, didn't want studio interference or to tone the hard R down for theatrical release. I'm happy it made it to Netflix. It's a damn good action flick.

Claim: National Concealed Carry Will Be Linked With Feinstein-Schumer Bill. [Bumped]

From Congressman Thomas Massie

ALERT: Feinstein/Schumer sponsored gun legislation that amends the “Brady bill” will be added to Concealed Carry Reciprocity bill (HR 38) in the House this week.

As Chairman of the Second Amendment Caucus, I’m blowing the whistle on the swamp. Last week, Republicans in the House fast tracked through committee HR 4477, a gun bill titled “fix-NICS.” The Senate version of this bill is cosponsored by Senator Dianne Feintstein and Senator Chuck Schumer and it will send $625 million over 5 years to states to expand the national background check database. The bill will also advance former President Obama’s agenda of pressuring every branch of the administration (such as the Veteran’s Administration) to submit thousands of more names to the NICS background check database to deny gun purchases. The House bill is identical in every way to the Senate bill except the House bill will also commission a study on bump-stocks.

What you don’t know, and what virtually no one in Washington wants you to know, is that House leadership plans to merge the fix-NICS bill with popular Concealed Carry Reciprocity legislation, HR 38, and pass both of them with a single vote. Folks, this is how the swamp works. House leadership expects constituents to call their representatives demanding a vote on the reciprocity bill, when in fact the only vote will be on the two combined bills.

How fast did Fix-NICS, HR 4477, move through the Judiciary Committee? This bill broke the previous records for fast track legislation. It was voted out of committee within hours of being introduced in the House. Check the dates on this link: https://www.congress.gov/…/115th-congr…/house-bill/4477/text . That means the text of the bill wasn’t even discoverable by the public on congress.gov until after the bill passed out of committee! The text was however available over in the Senate where you will find Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Chuck Schumer are cosponsors. https://www.congress.gov/…/115t…/senate-bill/2135/cosponsors

If that’s not odd enough, consider this: the fix-NICS bill was introduced in the House by a Democrat two weeks ago. https://www.congress.gov/…/115th-congr…/house-bill/4434/text . But, in a very unusual move, the bill was re-introduced verbatim by a Republican two weeks later, with language added to it to commission a bump-stock study. Six Republicans in Judiciary Committee weren’t persuaded by the switcheroo, and voted No. However, because every Democrat voted yes and some Republicans voted yes at the urging of the Chairman, the bill made it out of committee. The deed will be complete this week when the bill is quietly added to the Reciprocity bill, HR 38, and passed without the knowledge of those who would oppose the legislation if they knew what was in it.

To recap, what are some clues that you should be concerned with the fix-NICS bill?

(1) The first sentence after the title of the bill reads “Section 103 of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (34 U.S.C. 40901) is amended…”
(2) Senators Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer are cosponsors in the Senate.
(3) It’s being rammed through, without a hearing, in a very nontransparent process, and it will be passed by attaching it to the popular concealed carry reciprocity bill which already has enough votes to pass on its own.
(4) It spends over half a billion dollars to collect more names to include in a list of people who will never be allowed to own a firearm.
(5) It compels administrative agencies, not just courts, to adjudicate your second amendment rights.

In my opinion, #5 is the biggest problem. The bill encourages administrative agencies, not the courts, to submit more names to a national database that will determine whether you can or can’t obtain a firearm. When President Obama couldn’t get Congress to pass gun control, he implemented a strategy of compelling, through administrative rules, the Veterans Administration and the Social Security Administration to submit lists of veterans and seniors, many of whom never had a day in court, to be included in the NICS database of people prohibited from owning a firearm. Only a state court, a federal (article III) court, or a military court, should ever be able to suspend your rights for any significant period of time.

Does the NICS background check system have problems? Yes, it results in tens of thousands of unjustified denials of gun purchases every year. But like many bills in Congress, the fix-NICS doesn’t live up to its name – it will likely do the opposite. It throws millions of dollars at a faulty program and it will result in more law-abiding citizens being deprived of their right to keep and bear arms.

If we continue to give the executive branch more money and encouragement to add names to the list of people prohibited from buying a firearm (without a day in court) and if the gun banners achieve their goal of universal background checks, one day, a single person elected to the office of President will be able to achieve universal gun prohibition.

House leadership should immediately de-couple the fix-NICS legislation from the concealed carry reciprocity legislation. People hate it when Washington combines bills like our leadership plans to do this week.

A few have speculated that the House is combining the bills to ensure reciprocity will pass in the Senate. I have some news for them: Senators Feinstein and Schumer aren’t going to vote for reciprocity even if it contains the fix-NICS legislation they support for expanding the background check database. If someone is naïve enough to think that’s going to work, and they’re willing to accept fix-NICS to get reciprocity, then they should ask the Senate to go first with the combined bill.

Here’s a dangerous scenario that’s more likely to play out: The House uses the popularity of reciprocity (HR 38) to sneak fix-NICS through, while the Senate passes fix-NICS only. The Senate and the House meet at conference with their respective bills, with the result being fix-NICS emerges from conference without reciprocity. Fix-NICS comes back to the House and passes because all of the Democrats will vote for it (as they just did in Judiciary Committee) and many Republicans will vote for it. Because Republicans already voted for it once as part of the reciprocity deal that never came to pass, they won’t have a solid footing for opposing fix-NICS as a standalone bill. Then we’ll end up with fix-NICS, which is basically an expansion of the Brady Bill, without reciprocity.

If our House leadership insists on bringing the flawed fix-NICS bill to the floor, they shouldn’t play games. We should vote separately on HR 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill, and HR 4477, the fix-NICS bill. And we should be given enough time to amend the fix-NICS bill, because it needs to be fixed, if not axed.

Feinstein and Shumer are trying to kill National Reciprocity by adding a poison pill to it. CALL your representatives and have them kill fix-NICS. There is nothing wrong with NICS that couldn't be cured by government agencies reporting prohibited person to it as the law currently requires. I'd also rather wait on National Reciprocity than allow Shumer and Feinstein to deprive people of their Second Amendment rights without due process and THAT is exactly what the intent of fix-NICS. Any Republican who votes for this crap needs the full weight of the NRA and gun owners to come down on them.

It’s time for lawmakers to get into a room and figure out some sort of solution on gun control, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Sunday.
In an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Kasich said the recent shootings in Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, Texas, should put more emphasis on gun control legislation while still respecting the Second Amendment.
“Ohio is a place where people want to solve problems,” Kasich said. “They're willing to listen. I want to get a group of reasonable people, pro-gun people. And those wer and discuss what gun control laws we are going to receindho favored limits on gun ownership. I want to put ‘em in a room and see if we can find common ground.”

We haven't found common ground in decades. Gun owners have compromised only to find the prohibitionists aren't satisfied and want more. Always more. Fuck 'em and Kasich too. The people of Ohio need to kick him to the curb.

Chicago has a slow motion Sutherland Springs every two weeks and the smarmy Democrats who run that hellhole don’t care. If they did, they would unleash the cops, who know exactly who the crooks are. Remember how liberals howled about “stop and frisk?” That took illegal guns off the streets, but progressive politics always take precedence. Our lives don’t matter except as a tool to be exploited when they want to take normals’ rights.

More on the rifle used to stop the bad guy in the Texas Church shooting

ANTI-GUNNERS STYMIED BY FACTS IN TEXAS SHOOTING, SAYS CCRKBA
Tuesday, November 7th, 2017

BELLEVUE, WA – As more facts emerge from the tragic Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooting, gun prohibitionists and their cheerleaders in the media are stymied in their efforts to exploit this case, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“The perpetrator’s rampage was stopped by a law abiding citizen, using an AR15-type rifle,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “The shooter bought his guns at retail and passed background checks because the military failed to forward his criminal records to the National Instant Check System. Now it is being reported that the gunman once escaped from a mental health facility in New Mexico.

“Isn’t it ironic,” he mused, “that a private citizen, who the anti-gunners would prefer to be defenseless, used a rifle that gun control extremists have tried to ban with the claim that such guns do not belong in civilian hands?”

Gottlieb noted that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told two different cable news networks that adding more gun control laws that penalize honest citizens and interfere with their right of self-defense is not the answer.

“We stand in agreement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton who told both MSNBC and Fox News that Kelley had already violated laws against murder, so another gun law would not prevent this from happening,” Gottlieb said. “Sunday’s incident proves that the kind of gun controls advocated by politicians and anti-gun groups would have prevented the heroic actions of Stephen Willeford and Johnnie Langendorff, and may have allowed the shooter to continue his rampage.

“Mr. Willeford’s heroic intervention and his pursuit of the wounded madman, with Mr. Langendorff, is exactly what the Second Amendment is about,” Gottlieb observed. “They followed the killer and kept him covered with a semiautomatic rifle until lawmen arrived.

“America is blessed to have men like these,” he said. “But gun control extremists? Not so much.”

...and that answers THAT question.

The weapon that Willeford used to engage the nut job down in Texas "appeared to an AR-15".

This article might give you an idea why the big two won't use him any more.

The Foreigner AKA The Chinaman by Stephen Leather

It was the film adaptation that led me to by this novel. I really liked the movie. The plot is pretty much the same with enough differences to keep you interested. A man's wife and child are killed in a terrorist bombing. When he doesn't get satisfaction from the authorities he goes after the killers himself. The books is a well written and fast paced thriller. It is OK and at four bucks for the ebook well worth the cost.

Absolutely

Let’s Keep the Gun Control Laws That Work

No Real Surprise Here

The gun control push that marked the first 10 days following the October 1 Las Vegas attack has now floundered and all but disappeared, in large part because the shooting did not impact American attitudes toward guns.

We still can't drop our guard less they slip something through. It'd not like the prohibitionists really care whether they have support outside of their bobble heads.

Don't Mess With Old Men...

I was out of state for training a couple of days and so no blogging. When I got back I went to see The Foreigner with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. It was money well spent. The general plot is that when Chan's daughter is killed in a terrorist bombing can't find the killers, he does. I'll leave that at that except to say it is a smart, fast paced story. This is a much darker Chan than I'm used to and I like it. He plays his age here but damn he can still move for a sixty year old. I think Brosnan has found his niche as a villain. He's much better as a hard man than a smug, witty, super secret agent. Martin Campbell is the director and he does his usual more than competent job. I really liked this movie and highly recommend it. The Foreigner will probably end up being my favorite movie of the year.

I expect no better from the Brady Bunch, but I would think the attorneys fronting for the Bradys would at least have taken a minute or two to Google "bump stock" before they beclowned themselves. Too much to ask for I guess.
